OK, fellas, I get the message... rolleyes.gif

I am sure this may amaze some of you, but I am not in a celebrative mood at all, but in a mood where I feel empathy for one I have tried my dead level best as one NT Ex, ie, one lone voice to express all the reasons (to the point of ad nausum with many of you) of why I felt DD should be replaced. I have not changed my mind on any of those reasons, but I don't think (when it comes to the nut-cuttin' reality of all this) that any of us would really find any semblance of glory in someone losing their job. All this has most strangely created a bitter-sweet feeling for me--hellsbells, don't get me to try to explain any of this now.

I hardly know Rick Villarreal at all, either, but from all I've heard about him from some of you, I don't think this could have been an easy thing for him to do, and I would think he probably even today has a bit of a hollow pit in his stomach, too.

For all parties concerned with this very unique chapter of UNT history just have to all move on and move forward....that's all I can really say.

It is certainly bittersweet. I've managed people for over three decades and having to terminate someone is never, ever easy.

To Darrell, thanks for the memories of those four great years and key wins over Tx Tech, SMU, Baylor, and some that I'm missing. Time to move on. I wish only the best for you and your family, and a healthy lifestyle that will keep you going for another 40+ years.

      Improving the Student Game Day Experience

      In summary, it is hard to get students to a Saturday football game when 80 percent of the student body is back home in Plano or Frisco on the weekend

      What some are predicting for the Wyoming game

      Did you guys know that the Saints/Cowboys game was a scorigami? Let's go for that here too: Mean Green 44, Wyoming 19.

      Improving the Student Game Day Experience

      I think it's important to remember that 50 percent of students that attend college football games across the country are there for the entertainment and social reasons, not the football... This is tough at a school like UNT due to the "commuteristic" nature that already exists at the school. Theoretically, winning/losing has less of an overall impact than I believe some people believe it has. This is why schools like Nebraska, East Carolina, and Colorado State don't struggle as much with attendance even when their football has been ass throughout the past decade. So in conclusion, the key to getting students in the game isn't necessarily through location OR product. Instead, UNT needs to continue comprehensively improving the social aspects of student life at UNT. THAT breeds school pride, which in return breeds butts in seats.

      Improving the Student Game Day Experience

      Fouts was too far for people when I lived in Maple Street Hall. I just think football is not ingrained into the brains of many people who attend UNT, at least not in the way that some might even cheer for the Rangers or the Cowboys or Mavericks.

      Week 4 Depth Charts

      If they aren't going to be reinstated by conference play, kick them off the team. If they are going to be allowed back, I wanted to know if the suspension allows them to practice. If not, after 4-5 weeks, they won't be in shape enough to play this year.
