Why the snowflake reaction to a fact reported?

Lots of back and forth, and there always has been, about Vito's role in the perception of our brand.

Vito writes for a paper in a town that is almost completely apathetic to the program, with a sizable portion that absolutely loathes our athletic teams’ existence. Nobody with a brain should ever be surprised that Vito isn’t a UNT homer—he writes to cater to the 100 people that read the newspaper still.

Vito gets much more traction from his tweets when he gets quote tweeted by opposing schools/fans. Aside from griping about Vito, UNT fans don’t really give his tweets any clicks.

I ignore Vito until he writes something just to get a reaction....like certain posters on here!

Here’s a couple of North Texas/DR-C fun facts.

At one time, the DR-C beat writer was a guy names Jerry Reeves, like the popular country/novelty song singer. He and I had a fairly “out in the open” feud in the Letters to the Editor column. He was very critical of North Texas Athletics.

Randy Cummings covered North Texas for a long time. When he left, I wrote in my Letter to the Editor note about Jerry Reeves, “Where is Randy Cummings when you need him ?” Randy is the official scorer at almost every North Texas home basketball game. He’s the handsome man in the black and white striped shirt.

Jerry Reed?

Reeves was before my time, but Cummings, if anything, was a homer. And I loved it. He didn't shine light on a bad team, but he generally presented North Texas positively. His stories, almost daily during the season by my recall, always ended with an "Eagles Notes" section that had a series of tidbits about players and coaches. Loved reading about North Texas as it was presented by Randy Cummings.

But honestly, I love reading Vito's work also. Because any coverage of NT football adds to the information than I can get from other sources or on my own.
