This is a great idea!

My question is this...

Who's idea is this? Dodge? RV?

This along with other things that have been done recently, the live feed of the Dodge hiring announcement, just seems so unlike NT.

If these are RV's ideas, how come he hasn't done them before?

I do not mean to be negative in any way, I am just very interested in what got into the athletic dept. I LOVE IT...KEEP IT UP!

please weigh in...what are the reasons you believe this new focus on giving attention to the program is all of a sudden a focus.

- learning to market the aura of Dodge?

- a football-happy NT fan is a happy fan?

- food & drink for press = more media for NT = less for SMUt?

- like a deer-feeder for the Upcoming Stadium Capital Campaign?

The proverbial iron is red hot right now and we are also, coincidentally, trying to fund a stadium. Hmmm.

It's pretty obvious to me. They now have a product they can market and sell to the public without having to worry about embarrassing, negative "who ha's" from the ring leader.

If I remember correctly they did something "similiar" to this during the day a couple of years ago. Of course coach Dickey sent in an assistant to go over the recruits with the people that had taken the time to get to Denton.
