We're never leaving the SunBelt.

Is this a bit or where exactly are you getting that from this podcast? Evan and I were in the interview and we didn't get that at all.

Not an indictment on the podcast or the job you guys did (which I thought was great) but that's what I took from it.

There was a lot of PC, don't rock the boat talk in there. Think we're just playing it close to the vest here.

After seeing your post, I went back and listened to it today, and I didn't get that feeling either.......

I was rather positive on our future when we were finished.....

We do appreciate the comments....

All I got out of it is that good things are happening and fill the stadjum and the pit.

Love the state of the union every time we get it.

I didn't interpret it that way either. What could RV say? He's not about to make or leak the first announcement of something that hasn't officially been decided. He just can comment on where we are now. As I recall he intimated that we'd be upgraded ten years from now. That also doesn't mean that it couldn't be ten days or ten months. When, and if, there's a change it won't be Rick's place to announce it. It will come from the conference and be confirmed by President Rawlins.

Start listening at the 52:50 mark...sounds to me like we're moving. He's talking about filling the stadiums and making kids (players) in the metroplex take notice, thinking it's "ok to come here"..so that enables us to recruit more Tony Mitchells. He goes on to say, "then you get some movement and things change about your surroundings and kids will have another inclination to come here". All of this in the context of UNT slowly building up, getting better fan support, enabling better recruiting, etc.

Obviously, "movement in our surroundings" is a reference to our conference mates of the future. In this context, it just wouldn't make sense that that movement might be UTSA and/or TxSt and/or LaTech/etc joining the Sun Belt with us. Since he is talking about UNT building UP and increasing in stature, it has to be a reference to us stepping UP in terms of conference affiliation.

The talk towards the beginning of the podcast was more guarded. From listening to this podcast in it's entirety, it'd be hard to say that it's definitely "in the bag" that we'll be moving, but it sure sounds like things are pointing strongly to that if things stay the way they are now. Granted, that's something he mentions...that this is all still fluid.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.
