A couple of interesting notes:

- Due to his buyout, WKU will effectively make money off of Petrino's one year. His salary of $850,000 is less than the $1.2 million buyout coming their way.

- WKU had a clause in his contract where he must make every effort to schedule a home-and-home to take place within 12 years of his leaving. So basically, WKU will get a home game vs. an ACC opponent due to a clever contract. WKU has been able to play home basketball games vs. Georgia and South Carolina in the past due to these types of clauses.

Incredibly smart contracting by Western Kentucky. Their program benefits from having the big name there for a season and they are able to transition to a good coach who was intimately involved in recruiting and will bring stability.

Wow. Louisville did not just poach one 2014 C-USA head coach, they sent UAB looking too. Garrick McGee agreed to be petrinos OC at UL... I guess it might be fair to say though, that this is rather him fleeing and that it means UAB doesn't have to scrounge to find the 2 cents it would have needeed but not have had to buy him out.

Definitely. The Western Kentucky AD made out like a Bandit on the Petrino deal. That is particularly impressive, as all other places he ever was at were left hurting quite badly in the end.

Louisville's head basketball coach has had similar problems. Screwed a woman in back of a restaurant while an assistant coach stood guard. If memory serves,assistant coach later marries her,messy divorce,sues head coach, public apology,etc.I have slept since this happened, but you get the general idea.

      Today We Were the Visitors on Our Home Field...

      The regular fans in our section were surrounded by Army fans, and they acted like the owned our stadium. DATCU had to be somewhere between 40-60% Army fans for this game. Unfortunately, our team didn't put them in their place. Morris made some very questionable calls, and Army's defense (comprised of 2-star talent we wouldn't even let walk-on at UNT), made a joke of our "high-powered" offense. The Army fans near us were annoying and mouthy. They even went so far as to call Mean Green fans "a bunch of vaginas", when many fled following our first endzone pick. By the end of the game, the entire event had become an embarrassment for North Texas. So what can we really take away from this game? The North Texas football program never answers the challenge when faced with a real opportunity to be something better, and sadly our leadership believes that is acceptable. Sure, we will back into a sh!tty bowl game (against a team from a conference we left). But we won't be anything more than we are right now. We will continue to be a visitor in our stadium every time a real program shows up.

      ***OFFICIAL ARMY VS MEAN GREEN IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      I keep seeing posts about how the defense got it done today. I didn’t see that. Army did what they always do to high powered offense teams- slow down, hold the damn ball. We couldn’t force a turnover for large portions of that game. We couldn’t hold the line against that run. I agree that the offense didn’t do them any favors, but Army played us like a damn fiddle for 14 minutes.

      Parking

      Maybe not, but does the product unt has been putting out worth the average fan worth the extra hassle of parking and getting through gates? To me, the average fan will say no thanks and find something else to do in Dfw. Unt football is in entertainment business and there is a lot of competition in Dfw. No one has to like the comment but it is true.

      Fire the OC. The defense showed up.

      Army’s game plan and turning down a late end of half high percentage field goal with no time on the clock was disrespectful of a top rated offense. They completely crapped the bed and Army knew as long as they had more than a 3 point lead, Mean Green offense would make mistakes and stop themselves. As stupid as it sounds the Mean Green’s overall strategy was to out discipline Army and get lucky with some big plays.

      The D screwed up the O

      There’s always something keeping this team from winning. Hitting the wrong hole, missed tackles, poor execution, poor play selection, ultra aggressiveness. Ultimately, that’s on the HC.
