I'm sorry we neglected to include UNT in our regional roundup Sunday. Our college sports editor, Jamie Hancock, has alerted the appropriate people on our production staff to ensure we include coverage of the Mean Green when the game ends before our deadline, which was not an issue in this case with a 1 p.m. start.
 
Please accept our apologies, and thank you for reading and subscribing to The Dallas Morning News.

It is a B.S. response, but there you go.  I think if they felt enough pressure they might change.

Personally, I think it's a very good response.  Whether or not this leads to actual change remains to be seen, but they have actually taken action.

So they say.  We shall see in a week.

It's a BS response!  You don't forget a D1 school right down the road but remember KU, Baylor, Ok St and other schools 100's of miles away!  They're so sorry about it, they followed up by not adding the summary they missed in today's paper.

I got the exact same response word for word from the same person. Won’t make a big difference, but maybe someone will doublecheck next time? And atleast they know someone cares.

they should remember UNT if they can remember KU, Baylor, Ok State

They also probably feel zero pressure from a UNT fanbase.

We need to keep being vocal about these things.  Let them know that we intend to grow as a base, and will let them know they got caught sitting and twiddling their thumbs.

She doesn't care about us. Heck Vito really doesn't give a care about us either really.  No one up there does anymore.  They got bought out.

Agree.  Vito needs put into the Portal!

And this is why it was a B.S. response.  Just copy and paste, no thought or sincerity.

Fans should not have to intervene with the Dallas or Fort Worth Newspapers in something like the lack of coverage of UNT Sports.  Don't we have an Athletic Director that gets paid the big bucks?

I don't blame the AD.  They probably have tried over the years to no avail.  It's probably more about the DRC tuning them out.  Also, I forgot but the DRC I believe is owned by KERA Channel 113 I believe now so new management may be an issue.

At least they responded. While it may be a complete blow off  they are now aware that there are fans following UNT. Thanks for reminding them.

      Army Week Unis

      Not a fan of the black but then again we've seen for years, what fans care for doesn't really matter to be completely honest when it comes to uniforms and school colors. We'll ask the question again that seems to trigger some of the people here, please give me an example of one player who has said they chose to come to a school or not go to a school because of the uniform choices changing constantly. What I do absolutely hate and think makes us look bad is the T shirts hanging out underneath the jerseys.

      Army Week Unis

      Just here to piss off a handful of people and say the school recognizes black as an official color.... The uni is fun, the players like them.. lets win.

      Army Cadets?

      There are usually at least some cadets at away games -- usually cadet leadership and cadets from the general area of the game. The pep band also travels, but I don't know if they travel to all games. The Army team will go over to the visitor's seating area for the playing of Alma Mater after the game just as they do at home games.

      Minnesota

      "We knew this game was gonna be kinda one of the ones we didn't want to play..." "Obviously, Minnesota's probably gonna be much better than the last two teams we played." Minnesota defeated ORU 80-57 Their Field Goal Percentage was 57.7% Their 3 Point Percentage was 61.1% They had 9 total turnovers Defense will clearly be the key to the game.

      Prediction vs Army

      I just can't see our defense having their best game ever against a ranked opponent whose strength on offense lines up perfectly with our weakness on defense. I'd guess we punt 4 times and they punt once and we lose 63-42. Should still be an exciting game like 2007 vs Navy.
