GoMeanGreen.com Interview with UNT AD Rick Villarreal

[Harry]

Evan and I will be doing a podcast interview with RV tomorrow and we need your questions! Our format is simple, we will be taking all of the best questions posted here in this thread and getting RV to answer them in the podcast. Obviously, realignment is a hot button but there are a lot of interesting UNT Athletics related topics to discuss and we appreciate your help in covering them!

EDIT: Please use your +1 buttons to help us identify the questions you are most interested in. That will help us narrow down the choices.

Go Mean Green!

can we play the GMG Flag Football game at Apogee this year?

[Green Mean]

Hey Rick did you hear about the gay caveman?

[forevereagle]

What are your thoughts on conference realignment and how could UNT benefit or lose from the upcoming changes?

[MeanGreenTexan]

I think there are 3 burning questions for a bunch of us on here:

1. How are talks with C-USA/MWC/Alliance conference leaders going?

2. How close are we to adding baseball?

3. Are you striving to add another home game next year, or is the 2012 schedule set?

Then there are 3 others:

1. Has Benson aproached you on your opinions of TX St./UTSA/LA. Tech?

2. Are you looking at real estate around Hattiesburg, MS?

3. When are we going to get the University to update the Super Pit?

[untbowler]

When do the fans get to see better OOC games in Apogee?

When will the stadium get its first concert?

[Green59]

Any update on Coach Mac?

[GreenPepper]

Fall 2013 will be 100 Years of North Texas Football (1913 - TCU 13 NT 0).

Do we have any special acitivites planned for the 2013 season?

This is a major milestone for our University's football program, we need to embrace it.

[LakeTravis]

Super Pit Upgrades??

New Track Facility?

Indoor Football Practice Facility?

BASEBALL,BASEBALL, BASEBALL

[DeepGreen]

How are Mean Green Club memberships going this year? What are our MGC membership goals this year? Any major donations coming to athletics, monetary donations, or for specific use, like baseball?

[KRAM1]

can we play the GMG Flag Football game at Apogee this year?

PLEASE don't ask this question...I have already proposed this to RV and we are in the discussion stage...don't want him to think I've "gone public" to try to call his hand on this...good question, but plaese...already being worked on in private as it should be.

I think theaboove three are excellent questions...I would place #3 at #2...but I like all three.

What is the Sun Belt Conference buyout if we leave?

[foutsrouts]

What is the Sun Belt Conference buyout if we leave?

20 bucks.

[Mean Green Scrappy]

20 bucks.

May be a 2 for 1 pricing special with FIU

[Eastwood Eagle]

More of a plea than a question:

Possibility that the centerfield back drop of the new baseball stadium could be Apogee instead of I35? Apogee as the center filed back drop would look really nice.

[meangreanmick]

What is your fondest squirrel memory?

[Green P1]

1. Why don't Coach Aston get no respect?

2. When are you gonna fire JJ?

3. Why isn't that one guy in the UNT HOF, or his Jersey in the rafters or something?

4. Why don't you send me hand written notes?

5. Why is Vito so bad?

6. Why do you call games that are on ESPN 3 "Nationally Televised?"

7. Why do you run ads in the newspaper with typos?

8. Why does the food in the green room keep not making me happy?

9. Why did y'all come up with the "Vote for Tony" campaign? I don't like it.

[El Paso Eagle]

Here is a question I would like to ask (hoping that it does not come to this). If UNT is not chosen for the Alliance, what do you believe can be done to energize the fan base to support the Sun Belt?

[NorthTexan95]

This is an awesome idea and would also help with the setting sun in the evening!

Can we add Syacuse for a home game this FB season and schedule them for a 1-1 or 2-2 ?
