Can We Just Have A Todd/riley Dodge Forum?

The Fake Lonnie Finch · January 17, 2011

A place where the obsessed one way or the other can keep posting to themselves without interfering with the North Texas football talk? Maybe make it a VIP-type thing where only those who want to discuss them can go do it in private?

Can we also have a Hayden Fry Memorial Forum? You know, for the crusty GMG.com'ers to remenisce about the good 'ol days?

There's nothing wrong with reminiscing about Hayden Fry. It's just the Dodge eating a cheeseburger thing...what was the point? The man and his son are gone. They didn't do what they set out to do here. It's no big deal.

Not every hire is the right hire. This isn't the only hire in the history of college football that didn't work out. We seem to cling to failure around here. Dodge bangers banged on Darrell Dickey for year with no particular point to make. Why do we have to play it out with Dodge?

It's no less pointless with Dodge than it was with Dickey? I'm sure the Dodge bangers understand by now that he failed here. There's no point in rehashing it to them week after week.

The only point to bringing up Hayden Fry is that he represented what our administration did right with a coaching hire. The main thing that has kept North Texas down all these years has been our culture. Hayden recognized that factor and went about trying to change it. I mainly bring him up to make a point about our culture, and how it could/should be changed.

The other guys should only be brought up and/or remembered in the context of what our administration did wrong. And hopefully how our administration won't make the same mistake(s).... again. :rolleyes:

So having said all that, I agree with TFLF. Bringing up all these other most recent mistakes, just for the sake of bringing it up is is somewhat voyeuristic, and could be viewed as little more than keyboard masturbation.

And so, therefore, it should be done in a private forum.

maybe a playroom for the children. the ones too immature to participate on the adult forum?

If we can agree not to bring up Todd Dodge if the Pitt QB's put up even mediocre stats and agree to refrain from posting every time Riley throws or runs for a touchdown at McNeese State then I'm sure we can all agree to leave them where they belong...dead and gone.

Dickey represents 4 of out bowls, our only NO Bowl win and 4 conference championships.

Todge represents the only time in school history we have wins against WKU. He never lost to them.

Until someone else comes in and wins, they will be talked about.

You, however, may choose to not click and read such threads.

Can we have a crybaby/complaint forum?

The idea of a forum for old farts to talk about the Hayden Fry days is a good one. Let me suggest we call this: "Fry Street". A forum for those even older can be called the "Rust Belt"

I also suggest we wait 40 years or so before we establish another forum for the current youngsters if they are still interested and posting so they can talk about their "good old days". In 2050, we can call this "Dickey Days", "Dodge Ball", or even "Mac Attack".

And for those in between, we can create forums called "Matt Chat", "Parker's Barkers", "Corky's Corner", "Tyler Talk", and "Moore's Moments".
