I think the name of this board should change to "THE GLASS IS HALF EMPTY" Board - WOW!!!!!

Or maybe the "DOOM and GLOOM" Board.

Or the "Woe is Us" Board.

Maybe the "CRYBABY" Board.

Give the program a chance to work!!

The staff has not been in place for an entire year.

Yes there were negatives during the season, but the future couldn't be brighter.

Lot's of great recruits this year and many more coming.

KEEP THE FORK!!!!!

To borrow a phrase I read on a Hog board: You might try reading more, posting less. Most posters on here understand this was going to take some time. Probably 95% of this board is on board with Dodge just as much today as they were the day he was hired. But just because you have concerns and desire to post those concerns doesn't mean you think the glass is half empty.

I think this a key point. I expect to see the world flipped on its head sometime in the next few weeks.

The rest of the points are clearly irrefutable.

That doesn't matter at some programs, if it's broke you fix it:

"LOUISVILLE, Ky. - University of Louisville football head coach Steve Kragthorpe met with reporters on Sunday afternoon at the Howard Schnellenberger Football Complex to recap the 2007 season and discuss changes to the Cards' coaching staff for 2008. Kragthorpe announced that defensive coordinator Mike Cassity will not return for 2008."

That's Louisville not UNT, so the comparision can not be made, according to the many wise ones on this board. ;)

There are some of us still though that would like to have the same aspirations, but we are seem to be in the minority around here. It is amazing how Kraigthorppe noticed after one season there needed to be changes, meanwhile around here Dodge doesn't seem to think there should be any changes at all.

DAMN, I am tired of threads like this.

WE HAVE THE RIGHT as DONORS, STUDENTS, ALUMNI and STAFF, the people who FUND this program and have been long time supporters of it, to question, disagree and critique what is going on here. If you ACTUALLY read the board, you'll find rather quickly that most of the people who are not currently content with seeing the status-quo carried into the next season all have a positive attitude, all think Dodge is the right guy and support him, and all love UNT, despite the fact the football program is sort of down now.

I am REALLY getting tired of people coming on this board anew and telling those of us who care enough to get upset and have an opinion that we should shut up. REALLY getting tired of it.

...Texas Tech firing their DC midway through the season...Nebraska axing their AD....

But, you know...I'm just saying....

Forget it.

The glass is more than half full from where I sit. I think UNT is as close as it has ever been to starting to ACT and RESPOND BIG TIME. No, we are not there as yet...still too many "small time" things going on...but, we are marching forward. A little patience is in order....the BIG announcements will come, the new stadium will come and the wins will come. I believe it to be so...therefore...IT IS SO! :D Keep your "eye on the sparrow" and you would be amazed at how positive things look. Always look for the bad, and you would be amazed at how often things are negative. Gee, amazing how it works that way.

Chin up....GO MEAN GREEN!

Who in hell say's that horse is dead? In my line of work that sucker right there must have a pulse and this guy is only doing his best at CPR. If I had to do CPR on a equine I'd jump up and down on it. If you don't hear ribs cracking you ain't trying hard enough usually.

Yeah, but would you do CPR from the back like this guy?

I don't know, I'd do something though? Where do you start CPR on a horse? I just don't know. Probably around the anterior of the rib region? I do know that I love your chant sig line below. Great stuff.

Thanks! And thanks for leading the chant at the last home game. I do believe it's going to catch on.

Your second (yes, you have only posted 2 times my friend)...and that is the best you could do??? You know, your opinion means absolutely jack sh*t to just about everyone that reads it.

For what it is worth...it was a slow night or I would not have even responded to your lame post...

Guys, I love the chant - but my generation hates the Eagle. They just don't like to scream it because it is not our team name. Why not just make the chant "NORTH TEXAS MEAN GREEN FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"? RV and company have worked tirelessly to correct every website, newspaper, fan, and sports writer... and I really doubt that you will ever hear that chant come from the cheer squad. Plus, it gets rid of that extra syllable and flows much better. Thoughts?

      What is this program missing?

      Right but if we hadn't done anything since the 60s, we wouldn't have a football program today. We were one vote away from dropping football 20 something years ago. Our adminstration basically told the Athletic Department that if the next guy didn't turn things around, that was it. The next guy that was hired was Art Briles.

      What is this program missing?

      I hate to help you out in any way, but Houston had some pretty signature wins back in the 60's that got them noticed. They beat #3 Michigan State 37-7 in 1967, in 68 they tied #4 Texas and #7 Georgia, and beat Tulsa a NCAA record 100-6. Those were the days of Warren McVea and the veer.

      What is this program missing?

      We can hate on him but I do think he makes solid points. It is somewhat helpful to have an outside perspective that isn’t drinking the green kool-aid. (Although it crosses a line if that person starts kicking us while we’re down-which I don’t think he’s done in this post). So this offseason/next year looks like the following: -give morris another year to see what he can build -hire a new defensive coordinator -hopefully hang on to Chandler Morris and Sheffield -pray for a healthy RB room Anything I’m missing? This year: Still think a bowl win gives the program some momentum going into next year. Maybe my expectations grew too large after that 5-1 start, but man there was a glaring need defensively that was not addressed. The offense has also just fallen off a cliff.
