Only team in Division 1 that has not converted a 4th down (OK we finally converted)

Not scored a point in the first quarter this season (at this writing).

Stupid personal fouls all season (for 7 years)

Last rated offense out of 117/119 1-a teams

Somebody must have a friend at ESPN to keep us off the "bottom 10"

Don't forget another draw play on 3rd and long. This time when you're down by 10 points in the 3rd quarter.

[greensteve]

must be specific...we were winning the tulsa game 2-0 in the first quarter...you must have meant offensive

may want to fire your memory

[meangreendork]

While we're at it...

How about a

BringbackcoachFry.com?

[greenjoe]

Steve-I would never trust such details to my memory. I heard that from George and Hank during the first quarter. And even if we do it your way, 2 points.

GO MEAN GREEN

I am ready and have been ready to give DD the old heave-ho.

There is no way that this team's performance is acceptable by any measure. There are no excuses period!! At this point it is the Head Coach and staff that you have to target.

FIREDARRELLDICKEY.COM its time to get this puppy up & running. Who owns it?

I don't know who owns it, but I think someone is probably cyber squatting on this one, it's been registered since late September I believe and nothing has been on it. I could be wrong, but that's my guess.

[MeanGreenTeeth]

How about we wait to see what happens next year guys? Despite our record, IMHO I don't think we are as bad as the 5-7 team of 2001. And the following 2 years were the best two teams since the Fry Era.

Now if we are this bad next year you should start the site. If we are still bad the year after, then we can change our staff and actual have time to find a coach we like.

Someone saw D.D. at a cyber space domain name registering convention. He was

asking advise on how to register WWW.FIREDARRELLDICKEY.COM. I guess he figured it was only a matter of time and he might as well get some money for it.

There is only one on our campus who will insure that DD gets an extended contract or if DD gets terminated and that is NT BOR Chairman Bobby Ray. This seems to have become common knowledge among the masses. GMG.com posters will not be firing DD and if anything, will cause some campus officials to dig in on this subject with the normal human response that reverse psychology sometimes (surprisingly) creates. After all, we know how many among the NT Administration feel about this mesage board after Branding/LogoGate now don't we? FFR received one erroneously sent email from one of their committee members--who will really ever know how many others on that committee felt the same way.

WHAT SHOULD BE NT OFFICIALS BIGGEST CONCERN NOW? Just like in last week's Dallas Morning News SportsPage article with some of SMU's most ardent supporters quotes and some interesting info on SMU football season ticket sales (or now lack thereof); anyway, the Mustang faithful are now more concerned with future significant ticket sales than what a win or another mounting loss will create if they continue with Phil Bennett as coach. I think NT officials may now want to begin looking in that direction (tickets sales) with our situation rather than just getting into pissing or shoving contests with NT alums or posters of GMG.com; that is, if they choose to clam up and get defensive over this subject.

What subject? The subject of firing anyone they were responsible for giving annual extended contracts and one whose future lies on their very lengthy conference room voting table. In some of our regent's cases, they do sorta' take some of this just like any of us would if we were on the NT Board of Regents, you know, as in uh, personal? Diplomacy from those not on the NT payroll or its BOR's is now essential and not a choice by those who want to express themselves on this sensitive subject.

As we all know, ticket sales are the lifeblood of this athletic program and our NT Athletic Dept. needs everyone on the same page to sell tickets in Denton, Texas, America. I suppose you cannot realy have it any other way at any non BSC school outpost AND........you also cannot have departmental dissension at UNT if that has become the case. Yet any ticket sales they get from NT alums outside the school's hometown base of Denton, Texas, should be considered gravy, but we can ill afford to lose the Denton fan base (however strong or not so strong that fan base is).

Barring the continuance of this damn flu which caused me to miss the entire FAU game broadcast today as I have been sleeping most of today, I will be at the 2005 Homecoming football game (hellsbells, I have 4 season tickets and a Mean Green Club investment and FWIW, Patrick Cobbs and his teammates really do deserve our support no matter how we are fuming now).

99% of us will be at the NT Homecoming game, too, and we know we will be there because we all also know that Homecoming is more than just about a football game. Oh, some may plan to boycott the Homecoming game over all these frustrations with annual OOC losses that have now suddenly become SBC losses, but such things as boycotts only end up hurting we the fans and $uppoter$ in the long run and in an era when any high ranking NT official may just be looking for an excuses or 2 to cut back on athletics (which for this moment in time I don't think to be the case).

Still..............we have some darn good talent on this Mean Green football team who will see brighter days ahead and that is how I choose to end this post.

GMG!

PlummMeanGreen--

Got to agree with ya.....This is not the time to panic.....UNT still has to sell itself today, tomorrow, next week, next year to take the next step up in conference affiliation. UNT still has to sell the tickets and support the team.

NeedCoach----

Man, that web site is way out of line. If anything what this team, including the coaching staff, needs is unity.

If any of you are wondering I still support what the coaching staff is doing. I may not agree with the final scores this year. I do believe that this team has been plauged this year by penalties, injuries and inexperience. Let DD have this as a bad year. At least we have seen more innovative plays this year than in the past. Perhaps he is getting out of his cocoon and turning into a butterfly.

Hey, we're a legitimate 1A school, right?

We may not be able to hang with them on the field, but we sure as hell can hang when it comes to being fed up with our coach.

1A school coaches should be able to take the heat. Right? Let's ask Ramon.

[Guest Aquila_Viridis]

Anyone who is patient about this is just numb in the brain. How do you go back 10 years in one year? There's no excuse for that. This is a disgrace.

If you care about North Texas you can't stand any more of it. If you are an administrator or a trustee, you have to do something about it. It is tarnishing NT's image. Start a real fund-raising campaign so you can hire proven staff. I want to see NT rise. I will help, but I'm not going to help if it's clear that the leadership does not care. Then I guess all we could do is try to get changes in the leadership. That's a tall order. I just implore the leadership of the institution, GO OUT and appeal for money for it, on a mass scale. This has to be fixed. You try going out of the North Texas area and trying to talk up North Texas when we can't even beat the other teams in this lowly league. Plenty of people know where the schools stack up. Guess what? We are a laughingstock. DO SOMETHING!

I do not for one minute support what you are doing with your b.s. web site.

You do have the right to post....................................

I think you are one of the few "fringe elements" who post hyperbole for shock effect and not for the good of the university. Most of the loyal fans on this board support UNT athletics but may not agree 100% with everything but we all stand together in support of OUR teams/coaches (yes, including DD & RF).

Most of the loyal fans, myself included, support NT and their players. Those loyal fans will slowly turn their backs as DD continues to run this thing into the ground. And that is where the line has to be drawn. These young men deserve a chance to be put in positions that will alow them to succeed. This team has as much, if not more, talent than previous years.

With that said, the coaches are not doing their jobs. That is my opinion and you are entitled to yours.

I'm going to try to translate the PMG post....

********************************************************************

If we want the BOR to make some changes, we've got to go about this in a diplomatic way. The BOR has to look at $$ when they make decisions, and we have to find a way to convince them that better performance = more butts in the seats.

Regardless of how you feel about the coaching staff, continue to come to games to support our team. These players need all the support they can get.
