Very petty to bring this up.  Glad RV was there and glad he continues to support the program.  Focus your energy on the positive future we have now.

Team has bright future, & looking like a really good chance for another bowl next year. And making a joke about the AD everyone constantly hated in these forums while he destroyed this program isn't a big deal

Glad he was there to support his former players and coaching staff.  Hell, thanks to him and Coach Mac for helping to get our grades up as a program so we could be at a bowl game with a losing record.  

I totally agree that even with the dumpster fire for the lack of depth on the roster here, Mac and RV are the only reason we are in a bowl game compared to SMU. Thank you to RV and Mac for the grades and one hell of a senior class. I feel really bad for Buyers, Scott, etc for them not being to get the W, but I think these guys are just glad they were able to play 1 more game.

Doesn't APR have to do with transfers, not grades? I think I read that on here on the Ivery thread?

Each player accounts for a % of the APR. @UNT 90 Grad I believe knows probably the most about APR compared to anyone on the site.

Being new to seriously following college football I try to learn as much as possible as well as keeping up with the Green. I am totally open to being wrong, but this transfer thing is in my head somehow.

I believe the basic info is each player gets a Point for being academically elig. along with the previous years graduated students with the schools losing points(I believe) for players becoming inelg like Ivery and losing players like Goree.. Don't quote me on that but its something along those lines I believe

APR has to do with staying eligible and on path to graduation.  Unless something has changed recently, transfers only negatively affect your APR if the student has less than a 2.6 GPA. 

"Q: Why does the APR make a school lose points for a transfer if the student-athlete’s GPA is below a 2.6?

A: Data show that transferring has a negative impact on a student-athlete’s academic success and eventual graduation. But, according to NCAA research, student-athletes who transfer with at least a 2.6 grade-point average have the same likelihood of academic success as a student-athlete who remains at his or her original institution."

I would hope that each of us would make a new year's resolution to quit dumping on R.V. and move on. To continue to bash him comes across as petty and spiteful to some of us.

FWIW, Apogee Stadium happened under RV's watch so just leave it at that. I never thought even that would happen in my lifetime.  Now we just need to put multi-year winning teams & all the fans we saw today at the HOD Bowl into Apogee & then we can start planning what would be a needed expansion. 

There were other good & not so good things that happened during his tenure.  I told him to his face few years ago at a tailgate that based on my almost 5 decades As an alum/fan that he had the toughest AD job at our NCAA level because we alums & fans are just so damn hard to please.  

He was at the game today because he loves North Texas.  Shouldn't we let him do that? We have few former UNT athletic officials or coaches who we ever see or ever show similar feelings & some of you older Nestor's can vouch for that.

      High Point looks to be a real tough (under the radar) test. We should be prepared for that.

      Why is the big white kid not playing?

      Hodge, and really McCasland before him, seem to have a lot of reluctance to playing underclassmen. the trio of Rubin, Abou and Scott all starting as sophomores is the last real example of kids getting a shot. I'd be surprised if Vice (or Cotton, or Mason) gets much run v. McNeese...they'll likely play v. TWU and get some run in that December home-stand, but unless one of them real distinguishes themselves I think the rotation is pretty well set.

      5 conference games today, the most interesting being FAU having to come right back after a 2OT loss to play 3-0 Liberty. Minnesota hosts Yale, who already gave 13 ranked Purdue a hell of a game...so their board might be in full meltdown later this evening.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      11/16...not a good night for the league...3 tough loses all by 3 points - UAB loses to High Point (UNT opponent on 12/6...they're now 4-0) 68-65. Butter Johnson showed up 21 off the bench...looks like he'd been struggling and responded with a reserve role...Lendeborg had 17-15, but UAB didn't have anyone else in double-figures. - FAU lost on a 3-pt buzzer beater to Charleston 119-116 in double OT. looks like not a lick of defense was played in this game...would've been fun to watch...both teams shot north of 50% from the floor and from three...FAU put six dudes in double figures lead by Louisville transfer Kaleb Green, but got done in by the leading scorer in the country Ante Brzovic who had 39 including the winner - Temple lost to Boston College 72-69. Temple were down as many as 14 in the first half, took a second half lead, but couldn't hang on. Jamal Mashburn Jr. looks to be a problem, but Temple doesn't seem to have much beyond him. - Memphis and USF won games they should have...Tulane lost to a 4-0 Furman.
