I realize that there is no love lost between the fan bases of UNT and UTSA but some of the posts here are pretty trashy to say the least. If any of you had ever met or knew Lynn Hickey, you'd kno

Can't blame her.  How could anyone look at themselves in the mirror in the morning knowing that they were associated with utsa?  

Conspiracy theory:  This was a forced resignation due to shady practices surfacing at utsa.

she is stepping down from her position for personal reasons, effective immediately.



So she's either dying or the NCAA came knockin' and we're about to watch some serious slapping the little guy G5 go down, and she's fleeing a la Pete Carroll at USC.

Whoa.  A UTSA fan calling out a UNT fan for 'poor class'!
Please send more friendly UTSA fans here, and please forgive most here for having a very negative outlook on your fellow fans because we've been trolled pretty hard on this board by your brethren.

That said, I really hope Hickey is in good health, and she's just retiring or moving up in whatever career path she's wanting to take.

Oh please, climb on down from that high horse buddy. Nobody is wishing ill on Hickey. It is fishy that she would suddenly step down like this, but nobody was hoping she or her family were hurting.

Would be nice to get a Big 12 win.  No matter how poor the other team is playing.

As @Withers940 mentioned above, I think we all hope this is not health related for Hickey.  Instead, let's hope that her sudden resignation is just due to good old fashion NCAA sanctions, maybe even the death penalty.

While we are on the subject of class, say hello to @correcamino and @RowdyTalk for me.  I believe they are excellent examples of the UT-San Antonio fanbase.

Sorry to hear you have been getting negative feedback from UTSA fans.  I don't condone poor behavior like that and most true alumni seem to feel the same way.  There will always be poor class acts though at any school unfortunately.

I hope that all is okay with her and that she just decided that it was time to go.    If they wanted an interim Athletic Director they could always contact RV, couldn't they ???

Geez Huff. I know it is utsa, but that's kind of harsh.

I have a good fundraising director recommendation as well.   Don't expect her to call you though.  You'll have to call her.

I read the two links below. There is food for thought there...like maybe the new president and she had different visions. Just SWAG.

      Not sure if we'd hire a guy...as we replaced Jalie with a guy. And I think they like to have at least some women's head coaches. Found this guy....at Arkansas State. They're 26-5..... https://astateredwolves.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/coaches/brian-gerwig/980

      The Band

      I personally think that the playing music over the PA at times when the band would typically be playing has negatively impacted the cadence for when and how the band plays during the games. I don't want to be all old man about it, but if I want to listen to the stuff that is played on the PA system (majority of which I actually do like), I have about 10 different devices I can play that on myself. When I go to a college football game, I want to hear the friggin' band play during timeouts and between plays, when appropriate. It's college football, not an NBA game. When I look back at attending games at Fouts as a student in the 90s', I absolutely remember the band playing, and I enjoyed it then just as I do now. If they were playing other music, maybe they were, but I would have no memory of that whatsoever. Additionally, I know there has been some other negative thoughts about the band overall, and not that I have been in band since I played trumpet as a sophomore in high school so I am no expert, but I was absolutely blown away by the halftime performance this week. I know majority of it was a rehash of other bits and pieces that had already been done this year, but damn that was a strong close.
