What does the blog say? I can't get that link to open up.

Wave of PR priceless for UNT

North Texas has seemingly been everywhere in the last 24 hours from the front page of most of the Dallas-Fort Worth area's sports sections to leading the nightly television sports reports. The Mean Green has been a hot topic on sports talk radio as well.

Everyone seems to want to talk about Todd Dodge being UNT's new head coach.

There couldn't be better news for the school. UNT was in need of some positive publicity after a couple of down years at the end of the Darrell Dickey era.

Dodge has more than fit the bill.

There is just no underestimating what the last few days have done for the athletic department in terms of building enthusiasm, not to mention fundraising and recruiting.

Over the last few days I have heard from dozens of fans who either said they were excited about the program again or that they were coming back after several years away or that they were increasing their financial commitment to the program. There is just no way to overstate how important that enthusiasm and free publicity will be for the Mean Green.

I just don't trust that Vito guy  mad.gif . I would like a new DRC beat writer to cover UNT Athlectics from this point forward.

New Coach, New writer!

Serious or joking? If serious, why do you think so?

Once again, are you serious or joking?

There is a reason why has been nicknamed "Ditto". Sometimes you can read it here first before it hits the news papers (sometimes days later).

Why...are you Vito?

Brett Vito is a hero for UNT ahtletics. There are a handful of people that constantly contribute to the Mean Green Cause. I know he gets paid but he does put a great spin on his articles. Send him an e-mail and he will respond.

No we don't want a new writer. So I will tell you to Shut the **** up tongue.gif

with Mean Green love of course,

Well, it may look that way, but trust me, we get tons of "inside" news on this site that comes directly from him. There are certain things he can't publish, either right then or ever, and we directly benefit from that.

He's a really good guy and a hard worker. I really like his work, too.

He's definitely a nice guy, from the chance I got to meet him.  Takes a lot of abuse from here and Voy, unfortunately.

He is a friendly guy, I just wish his articles asked tougher questions or strayed from the company line sometimes.

Well, you don't speak for me so you are misquoting. and as far as your next sentence, You are not my brother nor best friend so, I would advise you not to incite me into a contentious response with that type of language. I assume you are not really seriously looking for that; from me.

Lay off Vito. He does a good job and gives us more coverage than anyone else. He's been in the unfortunate position of having to cover a team that has regressed significantly in the past couple of years. Timmy Mac did a good job but there were some others before him that were horrible. That UT grad is one that comes to mind I forget his name...

Ditto. Vito contiuned to do his job while this team was in the dumps and NO one else wanted to cover them.

      First College Net Rankings released

      😂 I hate revisiting the records and specific games of that era cause it was all such a train wreck. Still should be discussed from time to time when some of our fanbase gets restless with wanting to take the next step as a program. Trying to cement ourselves as a perineal Top 50 program is tough but we’re on the right track. I remember years back @TheTastyGreek putting into perspective how tough achieving a Top 25 ranking in hoops was relative to FBS football back in the day. Too lazy to go dig that up but it really highlighted how difficult it is generally speaking and then layer in what you’re describing above - what UNT has had to overcome from a performance and program perception standpoint.

      Seth loses OU gig

      Oklahoma hired Washington State’s Ben Arbuckle — just 29 — to be its new offensive coordinator yesterday. He takes over for the fired Seth Littrell, whose offenses sputtered in the Sooners’ first SEC season. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic picked Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley, just 33, to replace Tom Herman as head coach. -The Athletic Plus

      If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

      I’ll never understand the mental gymnastics some on here do to justify this underperformance? We fired Seth after a Conference USA title game appearance- justifiably - so we would get someone to take the NEXT step that was elusive for his regime. Now we’ve got people making excuses for wasting the first year of Morris’ tenure by mis-reading the personnel that he judged to be “AAC title contenders” and then flopping. Didn’t use the portal well enough to beef up glaring deficiencies. Then brings back the worst, yet somehow highest compensated G5 DC in America for year 2 which led to an inevitable firing that even the most casual of football fans could see coming from a mile away before the season even started. The 2nd year performance was predictable as well, but extra dissapointing given the soft schedule 5-1 start. To end up 6-6 is nearly unforgivable. We’d better win this upcoming Bowl game.

      like how we finished 8-22 in Benford's last season and had a final ranking of 299?? at the time we were a few spots below a couple hospital teams, Detroit Mercy & Sacred Heart. now we're three back of UT https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/seasons/men/2017-ratings.html

      Agreed. But we can all also agree that this is a great jumping off point for UNT in NET. A quality indicator of the program’s overall progress since Grant first arrived. We’ve come a LONG way from the Benford era.
