Dickey interview on Channel 8

[NDT]

Did anyone else see the live interview with Dale Hanson on the 10 o'clock news? I thought he did a good job, and after all the publicity UT has been receiving in the DFW media this week it was nice to see us given to see our coach given a few minutes of live air time.

Yes I did. Dale actually helped DD promote North Texas football, and even showed Big-Mo's 99 yard inteception from the MUTS game last season. DD was pretty funny, and said he shouldnt have to follow Terrell Owens on the sports broadcast. Dale Hansen wasnt expecting that and starting laughing histerically. They talked about DD's health and issues, then Dale mentioned the four straight conference championships and bowl games.

Not a bad 5 minutes of sports on channel 8... I may end up liking Dale Hansen after all?????

GMG!!!

Now to hijack a thread...

Is it possible that with DD's recent health issues he has a different frame of mind? I'm just speaking from personal experience, but once I quit smoking, started exercising, and generally taking care of my body it seemed as though every aspect of my life got better, mentally and physically.

When I listened to dd interviewed on the radio in Austin 2 years ago he just wanted the team to get out of Austin unharmed. This year he seemed a little more positive. He acknowledged that we were overmatched, but had encouraged the team to go out and fight for every play.

GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have not seen him in person recently, but he does seem to be a changed man.

I thought he did a good job in the interview. Yes, IMO, he has a better sense of humor, and does not come across as negative as the past couple of years. Does anybody have a clue as to what he kept looking off to the side at? I guess that may have been somebody timing the segment. This was a positive interview highlighting North Texas football.

The interview was great and funny. DD was great and really seems to be a changed man, full of energy, positive - much like when he first got to NT.

Perhaps we should e-mail Hansen and tell him we liked the coverage and would appreciate more. I don't ever remember receiving coverage that extensive at the beginning of a season (although I am sure it is related to who we are playing).
