Nothin pisses me off more than people that go to UNT and wear other school's clothes. You wouldn't see that happen at UT or A&M. #loyalty

Agreed that it sucks, however UNT doesn't have great brand identity.. FOR GOD'S SAKE, THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR THAT WE HAVE HAD THE NIKE JERSEYS FOR OUR FOOTBALL TEAM AND WE STILL CANT BUY NIKE REPLICAS... UNT's branding department has come a long way from 10 years ago.. however, they have second class designers making our t-shirts and design wise suck. I love UNT for the people and the sports, but the management people in the office need to be replaced.

Solution: On campus t-shirt cannon. Between 10-2 on any given day a roaming band of boosters should be given the t-shirt cannons from the game and be allowed to peg people not in green.

I like how that one guy told him to actually start winning games and it would be less of a problem.

You still here? Seriously..you are really lucky the mods here care so much about hits!

we don't care about "hits" Kram. Nice try though

Just wondering why the mods would let this guy and a couple of others hang around. Doesn't make much sense to me...and all boards who advertise care about hits by the way. At least that is what the professionals who create these things for a living tell me about this sort of thing. Just repeating what I was told when I asked a guy about it. It's not a rag on you guys, just a comment....and a possible reason for allowing these guys to hang around.

I'd think # of hits would be important for selling advertising, but what do I know.

Regarding giving this guy the boot, he's a former UNT student that doesn't always have positive things to say. If that is boot worthy, it seems like this board would get pretty quiet if enforced. Just my thoughts.

Or because they care about having breadth of opinions. The all RV love all day channel needs changing from time to time.

Well, you do have a valid point.

I do internet marketing for a living so I am fairly well versed on the pluses of driving traffic.... however he and some others are limited to 1 post a day at this point so it is fairly obvious that we don't depend on him and a few others for anything. We can't just ban any and everyone who comes by to troll. Sometimes some of these guys say things that you don't want to hear but sometimes they make a point. GL2G has GOT to start limiting his posts if he wants people to read them but he is starting to tone down the hate speech. Just saying that banning 3-4 people won't change our "hit counts" either way.

Get a new gig, Sarge...I guess you and FFR had a love fest together in all the negativity all the time at the AF-Rice game. Why is it that you seem to think negativity is "breadth of opinions", but the same is not correct regarding positive comments? If it's fine to knock everything that is RV and UNT then it should be OK to praise where one believes praise is due as well. Last time I looked it's opinions and you seem to have plenty to hem as well. Hammering on me constantly is getting a tad lame and old...perhaps you could tell us about more cookie bakes or something instead for awhile...or about how much you love UT. You have been fairly quiet on that front for awhile.

Let me get this straight. When people post things that aren't complimentary of a football program that is at eight losing seasons and counting (or a basketball program that would love to be treading water as well asthe football program currently) they need a "new gig" or should perhaps be BANNED?? Yet, we should all respect differences of opinion when the strident voice is your sunshine pumping? Would you prefer to play the role of the pot or the kettle in this scenario?

As fun as sub-threads about internet marketing and poking fun of the jilted fan boys is can we back to my t-shirt cannon idea.

Or can we at least observe the irony that this board goes down the rabbit hole about lack of school sprit on every other thread, but now that there is actually a timely thread about school spirt no one is talking about the actual issue.

You say you need some kind of a cannon built? Why the hell didn't you just say so?

I could build you something to help you reach campus from say...Lewisville...or you could go the more conservative route and shop here...http://tshirtgun.com/

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
