I followed it, but never heard the outcome.

If anybody has an in with the NAACP, I'd like to hear from you. Ericka Cain, the NAACP VP for Texas, was noted in one of the articles, and is one of ours, and graduated with me in 2002. I can never get an email back from her, but I think it's routed through somebody else. Either that, or she thinks a couple of her friends were right in thinking I was a racist for running for SGA with my black best friend.

So of course I would like to know not only what happened with the UNT investigation, but the NAACP one as well.

Do they ever make any statements that clear somebody of racist activity? I just don't recall ever hearing about any of those from the NAACP.

Advocacy groups rarely make those sort of statements; they do not want to turn off their support (read: donations) base. Instead, they will issue a non-statement like "We see opportunity to begin a meaningful dialogue...." etc.

You know what? Screw it, let's go for it. Which stations reported on our AD and HC being racist?

If they're REALLY investigative reporters, THEY can give us an answer.

UNT investigated the accusations and found no racism existed. When a player curses his coach on the sidelines and it can be heard in the stands it is clear there was justification for disciplinary action.

I doubt the NCAA will ever comment on this investigation since there was no real evidence to validate these charges.

I suspect that that's the case. Their silence speaks volumes, which would be a very good ending thought for this thread and this topic. Case closed.

      Seems like you've gotten over the speeding ticket well.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive because of the defense, that's an even bigger problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??

      You have quite unique comments on there…

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.
