I was listening earlier to the SMU radio broadcast and it was almost embarrassing. One broadcaster is decent (guy from the Ticket), while the other guy sounds like he should be broadcasting High School football.

I don't think we realize how lucky we are to have George and Hank, I would put them up against anyone. The football broadcasts are top notch.

Thanks George and Hank, we appreciate all you do!!

There are several people from the Ticket (Rich Phillips) that are part of the broadcasting crew, including Sean Bass of North Texas fame. I don't have a huge problem with the color guy (John Hampton).

If you REALLY want to appreciate them, listen to an A&M broadcast. If I was into making lists, Dave South would easily be in my top 5 worst things to ever happen to college sports.

I'm a big fan of black jerseys and think our Kelly Green looks great with them, but SMU's new bowl uniform is hideous. Not to mention the helmets clash with the entire thing. Fugly.

Can't believe Army is dominating this game. Can't believe I put money on the over....

I like Rich, but he is annoying and an over the top smuT homer. He is on par with Craig Way in Austin, and I just love the fact that he graduated from NT, yet walks around in pony crap. The color guy they had one or two years ago was the worst ever, both at his job AND at cheerleading. The ONLY reason I'd ever listen to the radio broadcast is either Im on the road and there is no game on any other station, and to hear them call a defeat.

Except that inside of 30 seconds he referred to SMU as TCU, and Army as Navy. Who the heck is playing again????

I guess that is what I get for not really paying attention in the first place. If it had been an NT broadcast I would have noticed.

Craig Way graduated from North Texas also.

Yep, which is another reason why I can't stand him. Went here yet he blows his load for t.u.

Good greif seriously? Yes they graduated from NT but they work for SMU and UT respectively. Rich Phillips has been the play by play for SMU for a really long time....so yes he will be a fan of theirs. He doesn't put NT down. As for Craig Way I can't say I know a ton about him but he's the play by play for UT...so automatically he will have some sort of rooting interest for UT which is understandable and common sense.

Your dogging of Rich Phillips and Craig way is a complete joke.

Ditto. I hear Craig Way on his daily talk show on 1300AM in Austin. He never shys away from claiming his alma mater, and is very complimentary of North Texas. But UT is the one that writes his checks, it's his job to 'root' for the Horns.

OH no, you don't like my "dogging" on them. I don't know how I will ever recover.

I know that smuT ad tu write their checks, and I would expect them to root for them. But to me, their over the top broadcasting is annoying.

Yes. GMG will always allow us be as stupid as we want to be.

The A$M broadcasts are bad. You don't really now what's going on in the game.

Craig Way is a very good sportscaster and proud to be from NT.

I'm just amazed that George and Hank never completely lost their sanity through the Dodge disaster. They do a good presentation.

Do tell why you would be listening to an A&M broadcast in the first place???? Unless A&M was playing UNT I would have absolutely ZERO reason to listen to an A&M broadcast. Are you a closet Aggie? That might just explain more than anything else. :startle:

Yep. They're broadcasters who took an opportunity to call college football games. As the voice of those schools, they're going to have some affiliation with them regardless of where they went to school.

Do UNT alums expect all of our great radio/TV graduates to only work for UNT? Seems like a tough way to make a living waiting for George to get tired of calling our games.

I don't think any school has a better play-by-play announcer than George Dunham. But there is one beef I have with him -- he is too reluctant to ever offer constructive criticism of the current coach, either in broadcasts or on The Ticket. At some point you'd like to hear what he truly thinks when the wheels are off.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      I condone and understand the mistaken omission. It was the most misleading victory in Mean Green history. I was there for that game in club seat because the weather was horrible. A pass happy UTSA came to Denton with a cold windy miserable wet day that made it impossible to throw the ball. Maybe they win the game if the weather was not so bad. But the fact they let that game be an excuse to keep Littrell another season was infuriating! 🤬. A decision like that had nothing to do with winning football because they followed that up with another double digit loss in the closet thing to a home Bowl Game in Frisco losing by double digits to a juggernaut 6-6 Miami OH. I said this at the time as well. And it was a confirmed bad decision when Seth couldn’t find a better QB than Austin Aune or get his completion percentage above 60% for more than 2 games in a row. This department is comfortable with mediocrity and programs new to the FBS level like UTSA our asses routinely. Long as we can beat teams having historically bad seasons for their program and FCS teams we are good. I am sure many of the few loyal fans were annoyed that there were enough fans that partied outside the stadium for homecoming to make the game a sellout. But after 20 years of the bullshit, I can’t be disappointed in them anymore.

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      It feels like this season is over. If we somehow manage to get that elusive 6th win, can we file a lawsuit to help a 3-win MAC team get into a bowl game so that it will at least be competitive? Also, can we go back to the era when we didn't have any rivals? Any annual "rivalries" just end up fizzling because we're so terrible in those games that the series quickly become non-competitive and unexciting. We never really take any successful steps to improve the program while others refuse to remain complacent.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Records of teams that we have beat. The only team with a winning record is SFA and they just lost to Texas A&M Commerce. We have a terrible defense and and offense that is explosive against bad teams. If the defense gets a stop, then the offense crumbles the next drive. South Alabama (4-5) SFA (6-4) Wyoming (2-8) Tulsa (3-7) Florida Atlantic (2-7) This team sucks, the program is heading in the wrong direction. I have wasted 17 years following this program. Not sure how you old timers have done this for so long.

      Looked him up. He’s a 5’7” 170lb QB/Wr. You’re trolling us or you’re not watching the same games I am… unless he’s the key to unlocking 800 yards and 55ppg he’s not the answer. The answer is a defense with a pulse. I am not saying we don’t need or want him…but he’s not changing this team from losers to winners by himself. That lousy team that just whipped us last night has always had a better defense on the field than we have. With the exception of 2013.

      Why is the big white kid not playing?

      Yet Stone has been playing since he was a true freshman. Nothing against the guy, just wondering what sets him apart from the others like Vice, Cotton, and Mason.
