The website in the link above says "Live Now" but there's no video.  I'm assuming it hasn't started yet.

Look down the left side of the page for a link to the UNT press conference.  It definitely started right on time.

Clicking on that just refreshes the screen.  No video.

It doesn't seem to work in Chrome, it does work in IE.

[MGNation92]

Mine didn't work in chrome until i turned off adblock.

 

[TreeFiddy]

Bummer.  Not sure what to say.  I am watching it in Chrome as well.

"And yes, by golly, we will win."

[Cerebus]

Wireless Mics.   Thank goodness.  

[NorthTexan95]

A microphone for the person asking the question?  What a novel concept .... 

[Eagle-96]

"We Will Win"

 

I LOVE it. Best quote from a UNT AD EVER!!!!1

[Cerebus]

Smatty promises we will be a "tier 1" university not only in research and academics but in athletics.  "Athletics is the front porch."

 

ETA: Also clarifies that VP position for AD is new and was done on purpose.

So it was RV that hated wireless mics?

[NTAlum09]

[TreeFiddy]

"We will check spelling before sending something out."  WHAT?

Maybe RV *WAS* holding everyone back?!

So glad @Brett Vito asked about "other programs" at North Texas.

Didn't you ever notice the large cross and clove of garlic around his neck? Plus, he carried concealed with silver hollow points. The reason was he thought wireless was black magic and evil!

[NorthTexan95]

Vito said he would ask all of the pertinent questions ... he asked three?  Maybe?  

Way to under perform once again, Brett.  There's a reason why Brett is still covering Denton when previous guys moved up the latter. 

That press conference was way too short and had way too few questions asked.

I'm more interested in results than Wren answering the same old questions.  He cannot tip his hand yet relative to changes.

The latter what?

Tim MacMahon asked a lot of questions and wrote things that some people didn't like.  Some people got so mad that they threatened to cut off access unless he was moved off of coverage.  

[TreeFiddy]

Would have been an easy time to ask Wren what type of goals he think are reasonable for MGC/season ticket numbers.  Could have about what he thinks is the biggest deficiency.  etc...

Lost opportunity.  Hopefully @Brett Vito schedules an interview and will ask a full slate of questions in order to get him on record.

Welcome aboard Wren.  Now get to work on fixing this thing.
