If you're required to check these boxes, shouldn't this board just cease operations? There would be a pretty short list of people left if you need to fall into one of theses categories to speak about and have an opinion about sports. It's just sports, not rocket science or curing cancer.

Don't tell him that. You have to have expertise to have an opinion. Otherwise, you're just a pompous jackass.

The thinking that Army is relevant with the CFB media is very Old Denton. They don’t register. CBS Sports isn’t a major network-not even big enough to rate with Nielsen. Like us, they’re just another team- if they’re good, they’ll get attention, if not, nobody cares. 

The Army name is meaningless in today’s world of college football.

Well I'd hate to know what that makes North Texas.

We have generally had a good casual fan and/or opposing fan turnout for service academies.  Plus we get fly-over pageantry. 

Beating Cal > Army, but I would not say Army is irrelevant.

As a general rule I agree with you. But he's been particularly adamant that he knows best on this issue. Its rinse, repeat over and over. At some point, let it go. You disagree with our AD and coach, fine. Stating your opinion definitively as facts when you have no experience while basically disagreeing and demeaning athletic officials (at every turn on every issue) is old. And you'll notice the previous post he uses to justify this opinion was full of errors. But I get what you're saying.

Sheesh. Woe is me. Get the phuck over it. 

And I don't disagree with a lot of what this athletic admin is doing. In fact, they've been great. But this particular issue irked me though. And when our mishap favors that juco down i35, I'm going to comment on it.

Who did we replace Army with?

It supposedly opened up future games with UH, but Liberty was the immediate filler. Army was on the schedule this year then they weren't, then a home and home was set up with Liberty for 18 & 19. Then a teaser tweet was sent out and AD commented on a bjg time series being announced and a week or so later a home and home with UH was announced for 19 & 20. So take it for what you will I guess. 

*AND FOR THE RECORD, OUTSIDE OF THIS BLIP, THIS ADMIN HAS DONE A GREAT JOB IN SCHEDULING.*

We filled the openings left by Army with Liberty, Houston, and Cal. Very solid trade off if you ask me, but obviously some people disagree.

Mostly Liberty, and God knows that is worth a lot.

For this year -- Yes to Liberty. For subsequent years -- Houston and Cal.

Is it wrong of me to wish that Rhyan England were still on the team for that game? 

Yes it is.

Thats like wishing cheap shot after cheap shot on your neighbor’s dog.  Poor dog, leave him alone!

And that dude does not need to come close to a football field ever again.  Can’t imagine what his son would play like in little league with dad coaching.

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Football at The Dat next wrekend

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
