ESPN: La Tech's Sonny Dykes To Cal

[PlummMeanGreen]

http://espn.go.com/c...ach-sources-say

The greatest disappointment for many of us who have followed MG athletics for decades

is that we are still in no more positition to make a move upward in a conference (if that chance

ever came along) but based on our record instead of just our location.

Continuous under .500 football seasons and now a basketball program emerging too slowly means there needs

to be some changes in Denton at the top--not our head coaches at this time.

We have some extremely nice people up there in Denton in athletics who have been gentlemen and cordial to most of us most of

the time but they are just not moving our school athletic program forward and there just comes a time when a change is in

the best interest of all concerned. One the eve of CUSA (no matter what's left of it) we just need more new ideas and marketing

ideas with feet that will make those marketing ideas come to life.

We are still a sleeping giant that no one seems to know the first step as to how to get a yawn

out of that sleeping giant.

GMG!

You and the Fueher have been punked with this off topic of thread title shit.

It is the only way I can get that special Chris Matthew'esque tingle down my pants legs I guess. Feels so good.

[GrayEagle]

I have to admit...it got my attention.

Plumm, how many games have you been to since Mac took over?

[shaft]

This thread is dumb even by Plumm's logic.

LA Tech's coach gets snatched up by an AQ, so that means their doing the right things.

UNT's basketball coaches get snatched up by even bigger AQ schools and that bad.

[eulessismore]

Hmmm, OP hijacks own thread. GMG oldtimers, much history of this?

[PlummMeanGreen]

Plumm, how many games have you been to since Mac took over?

Not near enough and how much did you give to the Salvation Army the last 10 years if we need to star getting personal on this board again which is

where some of our youngest, dumbest and the most clueless concerning the illustrious history of our school's athletic program seem to always go when they mostly.

have nothing else. Sorta' like those who use the race card when they have..............nothing else? Speaking of which............ I actually heard a young white man (early 20's) at McDonalds the other day actually say he couldn't get a job because he felt it was actually because of his race. I thought I had heard it all after that one. I told him................go get yourself a freakin' job anyway and become one of us tax-payers so you can help the rest of us take care of the 52% who don't pay taxes. (Seems that 52% did show up at en mass at the polls last November, though). Digress? Hell, I'm in my 60's now and have the right to do that more than ever.

For what its worth, I work most of the time on Game Day since that is what DJ's do on Saturdays but I seem to not be alone since there are more UNT alums who don't

go to games (who could with their schedules) than those who do looking at our attendance numbers the last 10 years (specifially) where North Texas (in spite of our sky-rocketing growth) seemed to have not made any increases at all as I look at the box scores. Sadly, even that with a new football stadium which is so telling of our present leadership for those who have the ability to observe (AND) admit such things which are so few on this forum. Since 1973, I have attended my share of North Texas football games--and in hindsight, should have probably spent more time doing much more important things quite frankly. Should I ask you how many games you've attended in that same timeline albeit I'd bet you may not have even been born during that time is my guess?

PMG is not the problem with North Texas athletics and it's plain for those who don't have their heads up their butts who and what the problems are

at our Mean Green Retirement Center and forever goverment employees up there who seem to spend way too much of their time buttering each other's bread

while the non-stop mediocrity continues by the decades now. While this seems to have been the norm in Denton, many of us Old Fart Alums have seen so many schools

pass us by athletically we need new score cards to keep up. Now on deck to do the same are UTSA and TSU-SM. (So red number that one if that also gets some of your panties in a wad because personally--I dont' give a shit what some of you think about one person's opinion, but as a UNT graduate I do care that the school progresses but with the right personel in place for it to have half a chance to do so).

Now do you really want to know how I feel about all going on in Denton after about 40 years of this? I am not too shy to tell you.

Have A Nice Day! .

Never more an example of a coach leaving a "Bare supboard" than Sonny Dykes at La. Tech.

He graduates 31 seniors this year. 31!!

Will La. Tech immediately accept 8 years of losing football? Will UNT lose to a team with an even more bare cupboard next year?

Will the new La. Tech coach make this a constant excuse?

Only time will tell.
