Thank you for raising the standard of UNT football.  I know this is the beginning of the pressure the Athletic Department faces as all eyes are on you for who the new coach will be. 

Thank you for getting the first step done.  We trust you to bring in a good one!

I also thank RV for making the tough decision, even if in conjunction with DD. It's never an easy decision or situation but this needed to happen for the program.

RV pulled out his 12-pounder and did what many of us predicted he wouldn't be able to! It's time for this program to go in a new direction and RV made it happen.

But in my book Dickey is still a first-ballot UNT athletic hall-of-famer. Thanks for the 4 Sun Belt titles, the New Orleans Bowl win and victories over Baylor, Tx Tech and SMU! Those were awesome.

They were awesome, but 42-62 aren't HOF worthy.

      "Where Are The Fans?"

      It takes sustained success over multiple years is the thing. I grew up a Baylor fan during the Morris-into-Briles years and watched it with them. Baylor didn't sell out their first home game (against SMU no less) in 2012 after they had a record breaking season and a freaking Heisman winner. I remember being at that game and pretty disappointed there were large chunks of FCS empty. Then they went on to an 8 win season and a second consecutive bowl win. Then in 2013 they won the Big 12 and went 11-1 and their season average of tickets sold was the highest in that stadiums history. I was at two games against OU and Texas that year and they were both complete sellouts if i recall. UCF didn't sell out their first game in 2018 after going undefeated and even claiming a national championship. TCU was 5,000 short of a sellout in their first home conference game as a Big 12 member in 2012. For schools like us it requires a pattern. Just simple math. Nobody cares about a team that goes 7-5 and loses its bowl every year. You can make fun of games like the Cheez It Bowl or the Pop Tart Bowl or whatever but they do matter! Gotta set a standard of winning when it counts so that it hurts when you don't. Then we won't see a half empty stadium for a 4-1 team.

      I knew the second I said that I was incorrect. Glad somebody caught it. I was -19 years old in 1977 so please forgive me!

      Very Impressive---Tennis Team Shines At Indiana Classic

      Nice start to the season. Big test will be the ITA Regionals in Ft. Worth. Traditionally toughest schools in Texas compete in this one and we will be able to compare where we stand in comparison. GMG
