The new Diet Coke Guy really stepped it up and showed his determination and intestinal fortitude Saturday night. This kid came in as an untested unproven guy who only had experience slinging Fresca in Division 2 ball but he just performed better than anyone expected. He held the Diet Cokes with poise and confidence never spilling or over-pouring. When DD ran down the sideline to keep up with a play or to yell to a player, there was Diet Coke Guy right behind him no sloshing, no shaking. He was right behind DD without hesitation or wavering. He kept the foam to a minimum and served up his refreshing drinks right at 36 degrees all night long. No ice in the 4th quarter? No problem for Diet Coke Guy. He had a back-up cooler ready to go. At a critical juncture with 4 minutes left DD was particularly parched and really needed to wet his whistle. There was Diet Coke Guy with a fresh new Coke Zero. It was a daring move to give the coach something different but it was just what DD needed to get him through a tough 4th quarter. Some will say it was a risky move but I say it was cool and calculated and just what we needed for the win. Kudos to our new Diet Coke Guy. Dare I say there may be a Hall of Fame induction ceremony in his future.

LOL! Thanks for the report, I knew the new guy could do it.

Is the old diet coke guy hurt?  If so, imagine the national pub next year when we have the last 2 years nations leading diet coke guys.

That only brings up the potential issue the year after when they both are battling for “pouring” time.

Not these 2 guys. They are class acts all the way. You see other diet coke guys pour a drink and then do a celebration or a dance of some sort. But our diet Coke guys just hand the empty diet coke can to the trash can and get ready for the next pour.

He graduated and was taken in the 2nd round by the Falcons. Atlanta is an RC Cola town so he will have to step up his game as he will be serving a new product as well as multi tasking by getting drinks for not only Jim Mora but for Greg Knapp and Ed Donatell as well. He may have to make trips to the booth and also juggle between providing RC, Diet Rite, and Diet Cherry RC. He will have his hands full but I expect to see a good performance from him in his rookie campaign. Expect to see him back for homecoming as he will be the honorary Diet Coke guy during the 2nd quarter. It will be great to see him in Denton again.

Any truth to the rumor that the new Diet Coke guy has a younger brother who is pouring on the sidelines around Longview? Talk is he may break his brother's high school pours per game average. biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

Diet Coke, Diet Coke, Diet Coke. That is all DD every does. I wish he would go with Pibb Zero more. It's a lot sexier and will help with recruiting. cool.gif

It was in Dickey's contract extension that he could get an upgrade this season at the DC position.

For those that think DD is underpaid consider what the other coaches around the league have in their contracts:

MTSU: Dr. Skipper Guy

Florida Intl: Diet Lemon/Lime Shasta Guy

Florida Atl: Tab Guy

Troy: Fresca Guy

Louisiana La: Rocky Top Orange Guy

Louisiana Mo: Newark City Tap Water Guy

Arkansas State: Mad Dog 20/20 Guy

Coke Zero is definitely the way to go! Dickey needs to show he's cutting edge. Diet Coke is passe'.

ROTGL!

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Random Thoughts: I remember that on a long bus ride back from Monroe Louisiana you wanted Dickey fired. I agree that Dickey did more with less than any Coach we have had in this Millennium. The 4 Bowl Games in New Orleans, especially the win over Cincinnati, are still among my favorite memories as a fan. If Dickey had dumped Ramon Flanigan very early and replaced him with a competent OC he would have been more successful. I was told that Dodge wanted to keep Defensive Coaches from Dickey's Staff and RV nixed that idea. I have never asked RV if that is true. However, if Dodge had kept the entire Defensive Staff from the Dickey years, I believe he would have been successful.

      Why is the big white kid not playing?

      Kind of my point. I want him to succeed but he's just not made much progress if any at all. Why him but not these other kids? There's no way they can't match his production, he's scored zero points this season.

      We’d Love To Have You

      Agree. Basketball and has been the better product at UNT for many years now. All eyes/support should be on basketball until Mosley figures out how to field a respectable football program.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      AS I SAID THESE LAST 3 GAMES HAVE SETH LITTREAL WRITTEN ALL OVER THEM....6 WINS AND A ASS WHOOPIN IN A 2nd TIER BOWL. AND THOSE THAT BITCHED ABOUT PARKING....DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT FOR ECU. THIS FOOTBALL TEAM IS SCREWED WITH MORRIS AS HFC AND WITH MOSELY AS AD. Just typical NT BS. I don't see how we keep Cobb... There is bound to be a special place in heaven for long term NT football fans. Y'all bitch about DD all you want but his teams usually played to the top of their conference level.

      MGN Podcast Live: 9am

      Two things that standout in the stat lines to me. Time Of Possession: sa had the ball nearly 20 minutes longer than we did. And, 3rd Down Conversion: sa converted 10 of 18 3rd downs. We only converted 2 of 11. Thats devastating to an already struggling defense, time and effort wise. Then you compound wasting that effort by pissing away the easy points afforded you by gambling on 4th downs inside the 30. Maybe our FG kicker has the shanks or something? But to me changing D coordinators isn’t going to fix all of our problems because right now we have no idea how to manage a 60 minute football game, which is Classic Air Raid. Rick
