I saw a piece of trash the other day and I picked it up and threw it in the duck pond, and now the grass looks prettier. It made me feel good.

Gosh, we live in a generation of entitled people. You think UH fixes it's own panels? No! People call in 100 a day to fix it for them. They don't have to advertise that they need panels fixed, why should we?

^^^^^^^

Stealing a quote from the brilliant Dez Bryant...  Has anyone else noticed/been driven insane by the loose and flapping in the wind access panel on top of the I35 Apogee video board?? For at

Yep, this is Rick Villarreal, and I'm beginning to believe Neal Smatresk, in action.  Maybe they can rent a plane to drag that banner behind... F'n embarrassing.

Correct, but someone, anyone, from the AD should be on facilities night and day to fix that crap. Its an eyesore at the entrance to the university. It's closet in proximity to Apogee Stadium and the athletic complex. It's on property utilized by the AD. Get and stay on their ass until they get it done. As someone who has done this, it's simply what you have to do to get things done. You damn sure don't throw up an advertising banner and give facilities a reason to delay the repair.

Next thing you will do is blame facilities for not putting in seat backs.

Can you imagine Rick V putting out that much effort, plus Rick is so used to his own lips flapping in the wind why would he even notice something like this?

I love you guys, even 90, and support 99.9% of what y'all have to say. 


But sometimes I can't tell if y'all are being tongue-in-cheek. 
If y'all are serious, lemme say this:

UNT is a state institution. Ricky V has nothing to do with the sign physically. Neither does athletics.

This is something for Facilities to deal with. And when you call them, ask them to MAKE THE DAMN SIGN DIMMER AT NIGHT. I'M BLINDED AT NIGHT WHEN I DRIVE PAST.

It may not be his job, but don't you want a an AD who sees that, thinks it's unacceptable, and personally sees to it that it gets fixed immediately. I never talk about Rick, but we really need someone who is driven to make UNT athletics great. We're never going to be more than the Mud Dawgs when we have an AD giving half assed effort.

Sorry, but this is a ridiculous answer to the problem.  Apogee Stadium and all the athletic facilities, including signage around said facilities, falls under the direction of RV.  I walk the facilities I manage daily, and although it is not my responsibility to conduct repairs, I report everything I see to the departments that are responsible.

Good God you should have seen that thing flapping around in those big storms this week.  I guess the best we can hope is that it'll just randomly fly off one day.

Not that I would wish harm on any human being, but if Dan McCarney were to be hit with a flying piece of Apogee signage then I think we are off the hook for the rest of his contract.  Maybe this is actually outside of the box cost control that we should applaud RV for?

I guess I missed it, why a hung fabric banner on an electronic sign? Is it covering graffiti or storm damage?

The video board is out and this is the university's solution.

And Rick Villarreal just lets it happen.

So, if the video board isn't out, why do they have a cheesy tarp sign covering it, or attracted to the Apogee sign? Why doesn't Rudy's just advertise on that video board?

My question is why is there a banner to be waving?  We have an electronic screen on that sign.  Why not use that? 

What banner?  From the picture attached, this does not look like a banner.

The sign will get attention only when it donates more money. I thought this was understood already. M'fin sign.

Dear God, I nearly snorted my drink out of my nose at this. Holy schnikeys.

You don't set that up until the cover is flapping around loosely on just one hinge.  

That's it!!  We've always heard there's nothing a little Grey Goose can't fix.  We can just have McCarney climb up & slap some Grey Goose on there.  Good as new!

Kinda scary though...  How do we encourage him to climb up?

Just drove by...flap is still up...

That has to be good for the interior of that structure considering the recent rain. Is the Rudy's sign a banner/tarp?  It does not appear so from the pictures in this thread but other's have made comment that it is.

About 100% certain that it is an electronic board that rotates messages and advertisement.

This topic is a beating. I can't believe something as simple as a sign panel has baffled the department and impeded corrective action. I'm embarrassed and hope no one that I know notices.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      In a city of 4 million people, I'd sure hope you'd have at least double the attendance of little ol' San Marcos. The only reason ya'll ever sniffed a 5 star recruit is because E.O. was a momma's boy that didn't want to leave home (like most UH students actually). Nobody was talking smack, UH fans are just low class losers and overall poor sports. The only reason you're in the BIG 12 is your daddy Tillman paid for it. Nobody cares about UH in Houston, it's all about UT, A&M and LSU.

      Idiot president-elect proposes Canada as 51st state

      Once again Republicans create their own little economic dystopia for some reason because your retirement accounts have never been higher, unemployment has never been lower, and inflation lagged behind the rest of the world. Yeah the world's biggest welfare queen turning twitter into a cesspool of nazis, bots and crypto scammers. Throttling the political opposition and using illegal lotteries to try and buy votes. Suing companies because they dare choose not to advertise next to usernames like killk**es1488. Every time he makes another boneheaded announcement like allowing people to still see blocked tweets, or arbitration that has to be settled by a judge he's donated money to, threads/bluesky/mastadon get a bump in new users. The world's richest man's threats to shut down the government over the spending bill just got $190 million stripped away from childhood cancer research. Enjoy what's left of the federal government being sold off to billionaires with their added profit taxes because god forbid something not make money.

      You cant talk about a fanbase when we double your attendance. Funny how 4 and 5 star guys come play football and basketball in 3rd Ward but won't even look in San Marcos' direction. When opposing fans talk smack and try to start fights atnthe game, they get beer, red paint, etc dumped on them. Oh well. Texas Tech does even worse stuff. Hell, everything Tech and UH play each other, there's always a brawl in the stands. Lmao

      If the owners of this stie didn't need the visits/posts from you, you'd be gone...which is extremely pathetic on many, many levels.
