Informed Rick V this morning...I quit!

Green Grenade II · November 8, 2005

After the outrageous action in the stands Saturday...I decided to no longer go to any more North Texas games until Darrell Dickey is fired, along with Ramon Flanigan. I love everyone on this board and enjoy reading your posts, and do not intend to stop posting, but I will not be at Homecoming or the Arkansas State game. I am totaly fed up. Period!

I hope, for the good of the program(s) because it affects our fanbase in basketball as well, that somehow, someway, Bobby Ray has a "Come to Jesus" meeting with himself, and makes the move that will save the UNT football program. So, if Dickey stays till 2009, I'll find other things to do. I will not put up with Darrell in the football saddle. As long as he rides, good for him, sad for NT!

Have fun at the final 2 home games! Should be plenty of room to stretch out!

And just when I said we didn't have to worry about keeping our jobs as fans!

True to form. GG LOVES the team before the game, convinced the Mean Green could beat USC, Texas, and Alabama combined....only to issue bitter "I'm done" rants after each loss.

Is it just me or is Green Grenade's Bi-polar, love/hate, emotional roller coaster act getting old?

You left out the part where he blasts promotions and professes his love for select "lucky" athletic staff and asks Mandy to marry him.

Its not old to me yet though - a lot of the bits on this board are fairly entertaining thus far.

I think he just outlines the Mean Green fan thought process in a cartoonish way - be it over a week, a season, or several.

Step 1 : We are so great. We have this and this, things are great!

Step 2: Continue repeating step 1 until gameday/ next season/ bowl game comes and you are jacked up for a sure win

Step 3: Watch game - be disappointed - dive into bitterness - hate coaches or whoever else you need.

Step 4: How do I fix it stage: Ask promotions staff to do a better job, find select positives (Johnny Quinn wore matching socks this week!)

Step 5: Slowly buy into positives, reignite happiness bandwagon, expect to win by 30 next week.

Step 6: Back to step 1 and repeat.

We are Prometheus!

Hey you've got to admit, the idea of BR having a "'come to Jesus' meeting with himself" is intriguing to say the least. I'm not sure what it means, but either way it's funny.

Prometheus? Sounds more like Sisyphos to me.

I dunno, having your guts ripped out by an eagle on a daily basis sounds like life as a NT fan to me.

I'm going to cast a vote for Sisyphus as this year's North Texas Greek Mythology Mascot. Tell me if this sounds familiar:

"In the underworld Sisyphus was compelled to roll a big stone up a steep hill; but before it reached the top of the hill the stone always rolled down, and Sisyphus had to begin all over again. As a result, pointless or interminable activities are often described as Sisyphean."

This is who I meant, but their have been similarities to a giant disembowling (as stated above) so I stand by the original post as well.
