Steven Pettit's story is powerful.   I felt like I was watching RV up there tearing up though...  I think RV may have broke down balling with that question though.

I also think the way he tap-danced through the Littrell question would make Gregory Hines proud.

I tip my hat to TheWren. His reaction to the question about Steve Pettit just confirms to me what kind of man I thought he was.

Next year, we may be having melt-down threads about our AD getting poached. 

If he did I think we could talk RV into coming and back and having an AD who would never leave us 😲

My boss never cried talking about me, if he did I would stay.

I think there is some confusion. WB gets emotional when discussing fan Steven Pettit. Steven is a huge fan who is battling stage IV cancer. Young man with kids. There was a story a few weeks ago on beyond the green. I think Stevens I’m here. He lists the team as an inspiration. Sounds like Vito asked WB about it

I am surprised someone has not stolen BYG from us.

I am worried Ashton is doing too good of a job and LSU or Illinois will money whip him and steal our show.

We joke about this but think about everything UNT is going the right direction.  BYG is second to no one. The major programs seem to go up in the right direction.  Great AD, President and a new leader of the university who is behind the athletic program. SL has brought the program from the darkness and now the UNT job is not a dead end job. Adding an indoor practice field and planning for new venues in the future.  I worry about a drop off in FB program if SL leaves but like Baker says on one man makes it all run.  I would really like to know who interested in HC job here when or if SL leaves.  I think we might see some surprising names. I am feeling better about everything now that I think about it. With Wren in charge, I think we will be just fine.

Wren is a very smart guy, it is actually a gift from God having a quality AD and Head football coach who work so well together. I do not miss the used car salesman garbage rant etc. from RV and Dan Mccarney.

"The time may come when he gets an offer that he can’t refuse,” Baker said. “When that happens I’m gonna tell him ‘Thank you’ for the contributions he’s made here and that I’m proud for him. But I would be disappointed, and I think he would be disappointed, to think that we’ve spent all this time building a program whose success was hinged on one person. I just don’t believe that’s where we are as a program.”

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
