Damn we play the MEAT of the schedule is on the road next year!!!

It is ridiculous that we have to go to FL twice a year...That just sucks the money right out of our FUNDS. RV should step in and stagger the FL teams...we only play one FL (away) per year.

I peg FIU to give us another 20 turnovers; that's probably why they're scheduled for the prime homecoming slot.

Did you see how badly they beat FAU?

SORRY MG61, SOME THINGS WILL JUST NEVER CHANGE--LIKE SAY......THESE EPISTLES!

DON'T READ THIS ONE, EITHER, IF YOU'RE A SENSITIVE TYPE...

DD will be back for 2006 because our leadership forgot we weren't in the Big 12 and just kept rubber-stamping DD's "shooting fish in a barrell' league wins in the SBC/Bottom 10. This will come back to haunt them in time (probably already has) and any who would like to say they are Mean Green fans and support a program that can beat the FAU's, the Tulsa's, the La Tech's and (now) the majority of the SBC/Bottom 10; BTW, all those things we did not accomplish in this 2005 season and earlier years on some listed.

Think about an NT DL that played most of this Fall getting pushed back 1 or more yards after most of our offensive foes hiked the ball? Unless DD signs about 5 JUCO All Americans DL's who are going to suddenly become the next Joe Greene or Cedric Hardman, can we really expect to see much differerent in 2006? Most JUCO's NT signs seem to have to wait till Fall to come to UNT and (then) they might start contributing by their 5'th or 6'th game. Next season, our season could once again be over by the 5'th or 6'th game.

Now take the green-tinted glasses off, think in light of how DD's team this year played all of the above teams in 2005 and then come up with (at best) 2, 3 or 4 wins for DD's 9'th Mean Green football team and even 4 wins would put his all time W/L at NT at.............. 43 & 63.

AGAIN, I REPEAT THIS FROM ANOTHER THREAD: What NCAA D1-A football program have you ever heard of whatever amount of time you've followed NCAA D1-A football that had a coach who was allowed to stick around 9 years on any university's payroll with what will probably be (for DD at the end of next football season) a total career W/L record of 43 & 63 (give or take)? Is this some kind of NCAA D1-A phenomena we have working in Denton these days?

This is not the UNT football program that most of us most optimistically started following and supporting in any of our beginnings with all this with all the big dreams we all had of improvement and progress as to where we could at least (at worst) become a Top 60 NCAA D1-A football program. 3-4 years of poor preparation by our football leaders has culminated into what we all saw happen in our 2005 Mean Green football season.

And you can forgot those 4 bowl games now because I guarantee you that this year's Texas HS seniors have and they also know just who we had to beat to go to those bowl games and what wussie footaball league we played in which made Darrell Dickey look like the 2'nd Coming of Darrell K. Royal. A sad part of all this is that too many of those who are running our school have been just as suckered into all this disguised Dickey success as some of you on this board who think all is just hunky-dory on the northern Texas front and we just merely need to keep an M.O. of business as usual in Denton.

ANOTHER GUARANTEE: Texas and Southwest radio, TV, sportswriters and media types have not been suckered into all this disguised success at UNT and we will continue to see their continued non-respect for the UNT football program until someone takes it over who has the ability to raise all this out of the dungeons of the SBC/Botttom 10. You know, as in someone who has the proven talents and abilities to recruit and then coach those recruits to the next level, but most of all, to immediately get us out SBC/Bottom 10 contentment and to win some "winnable" OOC games. DD has shown a great propensity for not winning against the winnables hasn't he? Remember all those times in recent years you said, "damn, why'd we ever let "THAT" team beat us? We thought we were ahead of them in recruiting all this time, too."

The person who will take UNT out of the NCAA dungeon is IMHO presently not on the UNT payroll or campus, and FWIW, I have no idea how long our NT Board of Regents will work to keep that person off that UNT payroll. Yet how long before our decison-makers start focussing on we beat to get into those 4 bowl games slipping by many SBC teams just out of NCAA D1-AA; and during those particular 4 years getting almost every bounce of the ball our way. How long until those facts are realized at UNT by those who keep insisting that all (is still quiet) on the Northern front?

But what NT's decision-makers, ie, our Board of Regents are going to have to consider in all this since they find themselves having to keep a college football coaching product, ie, one Darrell Dickey, that is, a coach no other NCAA D1-A college football program (above UNT) has yet to put on their serious list of candidates when they are looking to fill their own head football coaching vacancies. So to our NT Board of Regents this question: What further proof do you possibly need to show that others aren't nearly as impressed with those 4 bowl games as you, our NT decision-makers, seem to be)?

SO LETS' JUST ROLL THE DICE? As the NT BOR's continue to rubber-stamp mediocrity, they should all hope that all of UNT's fan base don't catch on to all this at one time as one collective group and just start saying: "To hell with all this SBC/Bottom 10 disguised success and blatant mediocrity which is now obviously being sponsored and approved by our very own leaders who have told us in the past that UNT is all about excellence at every level, even NCAA Division One football. How many believe we are getting such excellence in our football program?

So is it really worth it to them and their own reputations as UNT campus decision-makers to keep on with their non-stop support of one UNT athletic department employee who at this time next year will have been in Denton 9 years and still have (at best) a sub .500 head football coach's career W/L record that will probably be around 43 W's & 63 L's after next season? Will that length of time for any NCAA D1-A head football coach of any era being under .500 be some kind of NCAA record-setter at UNT?

Are what most unbiased outsiders would call a mediocre (at best) football coaching career at UNT really worth it all to our University of North Texas Board of Regents that they would just keep on annually rubber-stamping all this SBC/Bottom 10 football mediocrity and seemedly ignore the opinions from most of the troops, you know, the ones they need to keep UNT above those annual 15K per home game attendance numbers? I think many of our fans have offered a fair synopsis of how they see the Mean Green World according to those who are just not going to be blind-sided by the disguised success of Darrell Dickey.

GOD BLESS TEXAS!

PS On another front, few of us native Texans who graduated from the University of North Texas also really don't need non-Texans and (basically) outsiders telling us on football radio broadcasts and beyond how we are supposed to feel about our own alma mater. Smoke on that one for awhile.

I agree with almost all of your "teachings" posted day in and day out, but why pile on who I am assuming is Hank? He's been here and thrown support behind the school longer than many of us alumni and friends of the university and has been through it all - besides, he's an employee, what else can he say? He seems like a smart guy - smart enough to know this all sucks and smart enough to know not to bash it on the air.

Key words you might say, MS, are "paid employee?" Most of us who've seen many come and go in Denton know that 5 minutes they're off the UNT payroll that most of them as ex UNT employees (and who didn't attend UNT) will not give UNT 30 seconds worth of thought.

I think many of us just really got tired of the (almost every game) sarcastic phrase : "Did Yall Like That" comments after a "Dickey Moment" on the football field. Those were aimed at UNT fans and alums who had the audacity to question DD's coaching style the past 8 (now going on 9) years at UNT if you don't know the history of all that with those comments (which I'm sure you would).

But FWIW & IMO, Hank D is not the problem at UNT.

GOD BLESS TEXAS!

Agree on the paid employee part and we pretty much agree here. It just seems that until NT starts its own sports marketing/management/business program through KINE or COBA, we will always have outsiders. That's how the field works and a master's degree is starting to become a requirement to get a job anywhere. IF NT found a way to pipeline its own students into internships that trained them to do the job, that would be a start, but right now it does not look like anyone on campus is even thinking that way.

BTW, I agree - the radio network comments aimed at GMGers is just goofy - if you do not like what an internet board says - why read it? Why would high levels officials feel the need to say that stuff?

I like them making comments aimed at GMGers. It means we're being influential, over the top rediculous, and listened to. Not bad for GMG.com to get airtime, they read us the same way we listen to their broadcast.

This is a nice cross section of what North Texas fans think.
