Really? The athletic department organized the stadium vote? The athletic department got that student vote passed, huh?

We should be campaigning for every option available to us. Couldn't care less about how the other SBC schools react to it. Secure North Texas' future first, and then worry about this makeshift conference we're in and whose feelings get hurt.

We should be flooding the comment section on this blog. It's seriously about the dumbest strategy I've heard from this athletics department.

This is the same athletic department that organized the stadium vote, and got it passed. This is the same athletic department that has turned the NT stadium into a reality. If you puke, I hope you do it into a fan so it blows back in your face. NT is in NO, I repeat NO position to do anything but wait. NT has very little to offer a larger conference other than the proximity of the school to Dallas and Fort Worth. NT's alumni, myself include want Cristal champagne on a Pabst blue ribbon budget. In my opinion this is seriously the dumbest thing you've ever posted and that's saying something, because you have posted some pretty dumb things.

Yep, sitting and waiting is always, ALWAYS, the best strategy.

After all, it's got us this far.

I'm sorry, but Green Bat's comment really got my blood boiling....

Sir, the AD did NOT organize the student vote. They did NOT get the students to pass the vote. They couldn't organize any kind of campaign, and it took, what?, 6 YEARS before they could get the damn idea in front of the students?

The student voted passed because of the hard work of STUDENTS, the donations of people on THIS message board, and the personal campaigning of 4 or 5 specific student government members.

Silence, you! The AD knows what they are doing. Besides, we have NOTHING to offer so why even bother!? You should be grateful we even have real football on Saturday.

We need to be doing everything we can to get out of the Sun Belt. It is a worthless conference with no rivalries. Maybe I'm alone here, but I never get excited to see Middle Tennessee roll into town. If we had moved to the WAC, there would be some interesting teams coming through every couple of years. I can only hope CUSA or the WAC comes through with an invite. If not, we're heading nowhere fast.

I love the Mean Green, and when you hit your knees tonight, ask God to love 'em too.

We draw better than we ever ever did against Idaho, Boise State, Nevada, or Utah State. All former conference mates with us in the not so distant past.

If you were the AD, what sort of phone calls would you be making?

If *I* were the AD?

I'd still be calling Wright Waters at 3:00 a.m. every day, disguising my voice. Every day, I'd be telling him that if he doesn't learn to count to one and properly break a tie, I'll do all sorts of awful things to his family.

But then again, I'm the sort that sometimes holds a grudge.

Every school right now not in the PAC10, SEC, or Big10 is on the open market wanting a move-up. It is a feeding-frenzy for the fans and media to watch take place. Everyone just wants to know that every effort and ploy was attempted by their school! B)

I'd be calling every AD of every school in every conference I had an interest in. I'd also be calling the sports director of every news station, radio sports talk show hosts, newspaper bloggers, student newspaper editor covering every school in every conference I had an interest in.

Then I'd call the quarterback of every school in every conference I had an interest in. Then I'd call his mom (if she was hot).

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, I'd be getting my website blogger to talk about how the athletics department is working for the best interest of the program, or turning over every rock, or anything, ANYTHING other than "the only thing we can do is sit and wait."

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!

      That would be a little unorthodox when the current HC is still in his 30s.
