I'm going by what Facebook tells me....and on my page today, it alerted me that today is our Athletic Director's birthday.

Rick V.....I hope you have a great one. For all you've done for this school's athletics....you will always be a hero to me. From increasing school spirit, to making the football Game Day experience so fun....to THE STADIUM.

And also thanks for caring so much about the "minor" sports, that we are now very successful in those sports.

Happy Birthday, Rick!

Happy birthday Rick. Your dedication over the years has been greatly appreciated. Despite the tragedies of this FB season, the future is still bright at NT thanks to your hard work and motivation.

Rick V! You Are Da' Man!

A few years ago, I told you to your face you had the hardest (maybe worst) AD job in the NCAA's FBS in light of our "then" facilities, little hope for improvements due to money constraints and overall across the board apathy, but I have changed my mind because of what "you" have been able to pull off, ie, at the top of that list the start-up of a "lights out" new football palace most of us older types thought would never-ever happen in our lifetimes.

Also, all the other great things that have happened for UNT Athletics under your watch. I have been wrong so many times about a few staff people up there the last 30 plus years using results (or lack thereof) as the barometer, but you as our AD have assembled a great support staff up there, will continue to do so when needed and have tweaked a few other's job descriptions in the athletic department which has been to theirs and our advantages as North Texas Exes and Mean Green fans. Congrats on that!

Happy Birthday, Rick V!...................(and.....many..... more)! :thumbsup:

GMG!

happy birthday rv.

prepared a short list for your gift to save you time;

jim leavitt

mike leach

dennis franchoine

phil fulmer

Did you prepare your personal check to help pay for any of these guys? Interesting list, but not too realistic I would think. At this point it is still grand speculation, and I guess that's the "fun" of it all. At least it keeps the conference chatter down to a dull roar at least.

If we can name our current football stadium after an Athletic Director, then I think we should name our next stadium after Rick. I know, I know, Rick would be among the first to hope for a corporate sponsor name, but in the meantime, I think

sounds great.

Happy Birthday Rick
