That is a great video! And, it says a good deal about the folks who run this factory and the company that employs these people. It is very obvious that this is a process that could very easily be moved overseas to Pakistan, China or Korea to lower labor costs a great deal and create a larger profit for the company. However, the company has chosen to stay in Ohio and employ these people. Every employee shown has been at that plant a very long time. That says to me that the employees are treated extremely well, and actually enjoy what they are doing...and also take a good deal of pride in what they are doing. They appear to want to be the best at what they do, and seem to be accomplishing just that. Great video and really interesting, but I took a good bit more away from watching that video than just how Wilson makes the NFL football.

Looks like an American corporate success story to me. Thanks for staying "home" and for providing a great working atmosphere for a lot of citizens.

I wonder if the NFL requires that the folks it contracts with for product all employ US based workers? Nike, maybe???? Hmmmmmmm.

Wilson needs some robots.

Wilson needs lots of folks buying their footballs and telling them "thanks" for helping keep lots of local people employed for long periods of time...that's what Wilson needs.

Agreed. You should direct your letter to their holding company in Finland.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Agreed. Similar case can be made for Simon, as he coached in the first few years of our return to D1 when half our games were body bag games. And the guys preceding him were playing D-2 schedules. But, the point is we are historically a really bad program no matter who is coaching, which conference, classification or stadium we’re playing in. Any time a UNT coach has success, we worry he will use as a stepping stone to a better program. We should be so lucky. Hugh Freeze, Mario Cristobal, Lane Kiffin are three former conference opponent coaches that immediately come to mind, now coaching P5 schools.

      An Old Fan's Advice To You Young Fans

      As someone who both hires and fires people, and who has had to tell people “sorry, but you just don’t meet our standard”, I cut Jared Mosley a little slack…until the season has ended. There can be times you know a change needs to be made but, for a myriad of reasons, you choose no comment over good or bad comments and you discreetly do what needs to be done. It isn’t flashy and doesn’t garner the headlines of a hardline “we DEMAND better!” statement, but the job gets done nonetheless. I agree that E. Morris is in well above his head, and beating ECU and a floundering Temple team won’t change that, but I can stomach a change being made at season’s end.

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

      The lost last year to FIU was enough for me to know this coach wasn't going to elevate the program.... We will be the weakness bowl team to get in....and I mean if we get in

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

      This was so embarrassing. From 5-1 to 5-5 is just unfathomable. And we’ve looked like garbage for most of these losses. I think I’m just over this experiment. I watched the recent Dan Campbell clip where he’s describing his team’s identity, and he references having put “Grit” on the wall as a constant reminder of who/what is at the core of the team’s identity. We completely lack grit. A very soft, sloppy, undisciplined team and program overall. What is North Texas’ program identity? The only thing we appear to excel at is finding new and creatively embarrassing ways to disappoint our fans.
