It is crazy to have so many different mailing lists.  One list of names and contact info and then you should be able to subscribe to the different groups that you want to receive information/mailers from.

It's my understanding there is an effort to combine the alumni records into a singular source which would make recording keeping/extraction much easier.

A few notes: Michael Sicuro, and I assume Trip Keuhne, evaluates businesses and works to enhance shareholder value. He called us shareholders. Very important and set the tone for the interaction.

Coach Littrell, after the initial "Why not North Texas" remark, was hilarious and candid.  Least amount of coachspeak I've ever heard from a football coach.  I went up to him during the break, shook h

We've been talking about the sharing of lists (actually not sharing) at UNT since the beginning of GoMeanGreen.com.  How many years ago has that been Harry?

@cerebus didn't you have some knowledge of this project?  Is it still moving forward?

My sister-in-law works for the Rice Alumni Association. At Rice, the athletic department doesn't have access to the alumni association's email list, but can request the association's help in getting emails sent to alums. So, it can and is done by other universities in C-USA.

This still seems dumb to me.  One university, one list.

Not crazy and not easy to do.  It's a very complicated project.  It takes a strong committment to follow through and complete a project this large when everything is already "working".  We're working through many of these same issues at my work.  Departments can be very protective of their lists sometimes for good reasons.  Departments can be very protective if their data to prevent their donors being contacted for other causes.  Donors can easily be overwhelmed with mailings, phone calls, and requests for donations.  Combining data requires specific guidelines and strong oversight to manage it correctly.  All this is in addition to the actual project of combining large data bases which can be a nightmare to do.

It's still moving forward.   @NorthTexan95 is spot on.  Also from an IT standpoint you have to remember ab out 60 different people have been building their houses over the years.  Now we are trying to get them all to move into one house.  Some of them are going to want wood floors, some of them hate wood floors.  Some of them want a pool, some of them can't move in with out a second story.  Getting them all to agree to one design is tough.

And, to be frank, some of them have spent decades and a lot of money to build a really nice mansion.  Now they are being told they have to share everything with some groups that have put no real effort in, and have a cardboard shack.  They wonder why they are forced to share their hard work with them.

Getting passed all this is only going to happen with consistent pressure from THE TOP for a long period of time.

I may have missed it, but did anyone mention scheduling and how horrible it has been?

It came up in a conversation with Trip after the program. He said he was surprised it didn't come up, so he is fully aware of the situation.

Interesting, considering how much you read about it on this board. I am glad Trip is aware of the situation. To me the scheduling is a top 5 problem in UNT football.

I think the person to address this with isn't hired yet. That will be included in my email to the new AD when he arrives.

      Breaking: North Texas lands Miami QB Transfer (Free)

      Ok so what's your suggestion? Don't get a QB? I'm confused as to what the end goal of your argument is. Regardless of who we get, we're going to suck? Looks like you're complaining just to complain.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      I'm looking forward to the game. In-state bragging rights up for grabs and a good built-in storyline with the two head coaches going head-to-head. Should be a lot of hype leading up to the game. I know we have a couple games on future schedules, but it would be good to rekindle the series. Give me an annual matchup against Texas State over the likes of South Alabama or any FCS opponent. I'm not going to call this a litmus test for coach Morris, but it's pretty close to one. His tenure has not gotten off to the start we were sold on. In fact it's been pretty disappointing. In two seasons, Morris has a record of 11-13 (.458). Those 11 wins have come against teams with a collective record of 45-87 (.341). His signature win is against South Alabama who finished 6-6 in the regular season this year, but did win their bowl game to finish 7-6 to become only the second team with a "winning" record he's beaten (FCS SFA at 7-5 is the other). Ouch. 2 of the 11 or 18.2% of coach Morris's wins have come against FCS opponents. 4 of the 11 or 36.4% of coach Morris's wins have come against teams named Tulsa and Temple. This is going to be an important game for coach Morris. I hate to utter these words, but is this an "opportunity" game? If we win, he will get a little bit of a lift and goodwill for the program and his tenure so far. If we lose or do so in embarrassing fashion, I think his time here is running out. Of course, I don't know how we treat bowl games anymore. They run the spectrum of meaningless exhibition games to the game that defines a coach's legacy. Should be fun.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      Sure. But this wasn't the first game I have thought this about. My knowledge of hoops is limited and I try to stay out of posting on the BB board for that reasons. Maybe it happens multiple times every game played by every team, but it seems like NT's defense forces this turnover type regularly against good and bad teams. Probably just selective memory. GMG
