I personaly would love to be like Marquette, but i will be just fine if we had a bad d-1 football program.

Just take the poll for what it is.

How about this on the poll:

"Keep football but dismiss after our last football game (or sooner) our well paid public relations genius; that is, our way under .500 head football coach and wait for a new chairman of the UNT Board of Regents this Summer to come in and right all the wrongs of a 9 year Bottom 20-25 D1-A football program" that our present chairman seems most content (as long as he gets to run the show, that is).

untwillrise..............the 2 Texas D1 schools who dropped football and many of their alums and leaders have been trying to figure a way to re-institue football back on their respective campuses for awhile now. They now both know they made a mistake by dropping it in the first place.

Those 2 schools would be UTA and Lamar U. UNT deosn't need to drop football, it just needs to get back to hiring the right people who fit in well in Denton, Texas, America, once again.

Start-up costs can be expensive as UTA and Lamar have been finding out and UTA's (still) new president from up North seems most uninterested and has done a good song and dance step routine around the subject of bringing football back to the UTA campus.

UNT just needs to get out of this hiring drought we've been in for about 25 years now, it needs to simply look at our past football history as to when we were at our best (at a higher profile thank you very much) and just copy that success story all over again--what a concept that is, eh, copy our higher profile success era?

Again, folks, this is not the rocket science Bobby Ray and one particular wealthy donor who (from word I got just this week and God Only Knows how I hope its wrong info) would try to make it. And why would anyone blessed with the Big Bucks who attended UNT hold his own alma mater hostage (and keep its football program in the Bottom 20) to satisfy his own personal whims?

And will (apparently) try to get his way in all this by dangling a Big Green Carrott in front of Bobby Ray and the UNT BORs; anyway, its still such a strange scenario as those 2 (apparently) are both working overtime to persevere the obviously dead career (at UNT, anyway) of Coach Darrell (who will never reach .500 while @ UNT no matter how long that is) Dickey and, folks, all this apparently happening right under our very noses at: "OUR" alma mater. Do we need that jar of Vaseline now?

Some of you still want that Bottom 20 DD Ball style of football to continue in MG Country? Then just continue to remain silent and just hang onto your social status at UNT (of which that and buck will buy you a bad cup of coffee in D-FW) and not post or raise hell anytime about the way I know many of you feel about all this (and have for years) with Bobby Ray, Darrell Dickey and now, the man who made DD wear that pathetic freakin' Mattress Mac baseball cap on a TV game 2 or 3 years ago!

People, are we going to allow our top leaders to whore out our university for some big bucks so one man can have "HIS" way and dictate who our personnel will be? If so, who will be the next one to come along who will demand what he/she wants and will pay for it, too? Is this the kind of trend UNT leaders really wants to allow to happen at UNT and be known for?

Never have we allowed so few to try to maintain football mediocrity for the UNT masses and try to package it to us likes its the best thing since sliced bread. A new football stadium at UNT with Darrell Dickey still around? That's like winning the $10 million lottery knowing you have about 2 hours left to live. (I know, a poor illustration but most of you will get my drift).

We also need a new Chairman of the UNT Board of Regents who will butt out of UNT Athletics and give our hired AD the opportunity to do his job once and for all. Now that our A.D. knows what most of us want (as I understand as of this last week he, too, also wants), I think he'd come closer to helping us reach such goals now more than all this wasted time he's had to endure while Bobby Ray looked over his shoulders micro-managing every major step he'd try to make. Jeez, Louise, can Bobby Ray (himself) read the opinions of a pretty good cross-section of UNT thought on GMG.com and Scotty's Board board, then look at 9 years worth of empty seats at Fouts Field even during the bowl years with DD at the helm to simply realize he obviously doesn't know a whole lot NCAA D1-A college football at a higher profile than the Bottom 20 schools in our division.

Also, since when does UNT need the entire Dickey coaching clan to work behind the scenes to help us run the entire football show in Denton and keep our Mean Green football program about as crappy a football program as the one they were involved in most of the time they were all at Kansas State U?

Kansas State U? Do remember, ex Hayden Fry assistant coach (at NT and Iowa) Bill Snyder brought all his success to the KSU Wildcats after the Dickey family left the land of Dorothy and Toto and graced us all by moving back to the Lone Star State.

Have A Nice Day!
