Received an e-mail about the chat so I'm sure most folks at gomeangreen.com received the same. Also mentioned an upcoming chat with Todd Dodge.

Live Chat with Athletics Director Rick Villarreal, Wednesday at 11 am

Tomorrow at 11 a.m. mark your calendars because that’s when North Texas AD Rick Villarreal will be here to take your questions live in our first live chat on MeanGreenSports.com. We hope everyone out there can stop by for a few minutes but we also understand if you’re going to let work get in the way of that.

So to accommodate those with questions for RV we are going to take your e-mails now and he will answer those starting at 10:45 a.m. until we fire off the live ones. Added bonus, the best e-mail or live question will win a yet to be determined prize from out vault.

askathletics@unt.edu

Plus put down next Monday, July 27 at 11 a.m. That’s when Todd Dodge steps into the live chat ring and takes your questions for a full hour as well. If you want to go ahead and e-mail questions in for Coach Dodge, feel free to. Keep in mind there are some ground rules for him, no recruiting talk, leave that to the novices

It's been entertaining enough so far. A nice diversion from work anyway. Let's see if he answers any of my basketball questions tho. :lol:

Agreed. It's picked up and has a nice edge to it. I like how RV is using this - pretty quick with good responses so far.

Man, the bar is set low:

The expectations of myself and of Coach Dodge is that we have to see progress in the number of wins and the competitiveness of our teams. Especially in SBC games, we should be nearning that point where everyone of those games is winnable and when its over we had a chance to walk away with a W.

We must elminate those games where the margin of loss is substantial. That being said there are a number of factors that effect the football season, injuries, etc, and is something we will evaluate when we get to December.

We should be "nearing the point?" Yeah, okay. But, when do you hold him responsible for not being "near the point?"

I'd say unbelievable, but...it is UNT.

I enjoyed the "Live Chat" feature with Rick. I would like to see

more "Live Chat" with the coaches, players, NT fans, and the Prez.

Good stuff!

Lonnie, next week Coach Dodge is the guest speaker, so you have

your chance to ask Coach Dodge a plethora of questions yourself.

I hope you do not miss this opportunity!

For some reason my browser won't allow all of the chat transcript to come through. Would it be possible if I asked pretty please with green icing on top if someone could repost the transcript here? :flowers:

Try using the scroll button on your mouse. I can browse the hole chat that way, but not with the normal options for some reason.

Hmm, nope, it scrolls down some but only shows the first question and then cuts off the rest of the text.

Same thing, I only get RV's response to the first question.

Done - but be warned: I am prepared to start charging for my awesome cut and paste skills.

Best thing to come out of this is the stadium is on schedule for the 2011 home opener. It seemed that he wasn't to worried about the contribution level, which says (to me, at least) that they already have a pretty good head start on funding. I still think they should be hitting up the average alum now, but I guess I understand waiting until the final government OK in October.

I enjoyed the chat with RV...I found it a bit strange that some were using their GMG.com "names" for the chat. What's up with that? No reason to hide your identity on the live chat as unless someone already knows your GMG.com name you would not be giving away "top secrets" by using your real name. Think about that for the next chat with Coach Dodge...why not actually let him know who is asking the question and to whom he is responding.

There were some excellent questions...including my favorite from CharlieNT73...nice, very nice.

And, I agree...Lonnie if you want to ask the "tough" questions, why not be there for Coach Dodge's live chat...it's next. And, use your real name too...lots of folks would not know you were "The Fake Lonnie", but would appreciate the fact that you had the "boys" enough to ask the type of questions you want. What do you think? It's an open chat, so all are welcome.

      Head Coach Bill Belichick North Carolina

      Harbaugh was considered "too costly" by Gretchen Bataille, our President at the time. He basically used us for interview experience and got the Stanford job. RV basically realized that to keep his job, as always, he just had to stay in budget, so he hired Todd Dodge from Southlake Carroll, who brought over his coordinators from the high school to be our coordinators. The good news was that Dodge didn't cost us too much, so we fired him after he was deemed affordable to let go, as it only cost us $325k to fire him, after his spectacular 6-37 record. And thank goodness we didn't fire him after his third season, or else that $325k we saved by letting him coach again for a 4th season got us one extra win for Coach Dodge and it allowed us to have our best season since 2006, at 3-9. RV got to keep his job as AD for another 9 years after hiring Dodge in 2007. Even though he hired the worst football coach in our history (Dodge), the worst women's basketball coach in our history (Shanice Stephens), and a men's basketball coach that absolutely destroyed a program that had been in the NCAA Tournament and had a great 5* recruit herein exactly one season (yet still got 5 years to coach). He was only let go after the 17 boosters he had fleeced for years to pay for access to our program decided that paying off the contract of Dan McCarney for over $2 million immediately following the worst loss in modern college football history on Homecoming against an FCS program in Portland State 66-7 was too much to swallow and eventually saw him leave in the spring of 2016. No matter how frustrated anyone is with our athletic department right now, its light years better than it was back then.

      Can't believe he murdered that boy scout. That CEO was on his way to save a bunch of children from a burning skyscraper too...

      A Volleyball Coach To Consider??

      I have no idea what point you are attempting to make. The basketball team is doing fine at this point, have you already decided this won't be a good year before the first conference game? Likewise the new DC of football is not worthy, based on what?

      I prefer "alleged revolutionary". but don't worry...the picture is gone and replaced by something that could never ever potentially murder anybody.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Sure it does, why would you think it does not?
