He definitely is the best I've experienced Had a funny run in with him at a Denton Chamber of Commerce function. I have talked to the Prez on a number of occasions but this one time, I was standing in the bar area (DUH) he was making his way through the room meeting and greeting people and then he came up to me and said "Hi Jeff" and I was completely blown away. I thought to myself, a man of his caliber and knowing so many people, he remembered my name. I was blown away! After our conversation ended, he continued working the room and then I looked down and realized that I had a name tag on....................

I remember when I took a tour of UNT my senior year of high school. We were walking around campus and we actually happened to run into him while on the tour. He asked us all what we wanted to major in and do with our lives. He told us we’ll be successful here and Go Mean Green. That + the great campus atmosphere (plus only living 2 hours away from family) made me decide UNT is the right place for me. Now I’m entering my senior year of college, and he actually follows me on twitter haha.

Love Dr. Smatty... Rick

If your get near him he's gonna say "Hi" and "gomeangreen". Potentially the best hire by this university in my lifetime!

Nice to see a lineman make a preseason watchlist.

Got me PUMPED for the big game in SEC country fast forward to 6 minute mark if you don’t want to listen to the whole thing.

I don't think we let him go too soon. I think we let him go at the perfect time. I am not sure he would have ever grown and got better being where he was. I think it took all these things to better him. And, I am still not certain he would be good at the head position.

I think he's the coolest president in the country.

Somewhere up there?...

Would be cool if it weren't Kuehne. Not because the money would be worth more or less, but because it'd be a sign of getting a broader distribution of big-time donors, which would be long-term beneficial for UNT. That is not to say that UNT shouldn't take everything that Mr Kuehne is willing to give and be extremely thankful about it.

I hope FAU wins

I also wonder what would have happened if he actually had an AD that was like we have now??

Like our coaches he is very approachable and bleeds green!

I wonder if our recent success helps him. UNT is an emerging name in the G5 schools. Now it seems a little more "in" to mention UNT on his resume. They mention it quite a bit in that article.

I don’t normally play the “what if” game but, boy howdy, I wonder how things would have transpired in Denton if we afforded him the resources he deserved.

That made me think. Could these hats ever become a thing at UNT? Maybe if the brown parts were green, but I digress.

Yeah, UTSA will be more prepared for dealing with losing. That will be really helpful for them this season.

I was a DD fan then. He could coach then and he can coach now. The AD and all the short sighted leadership at the University at that time are just as responsible for the Dickey's failed last season and the miserable seasons that followed. Happy for him wish it would it have worked out for him here. It will be particularly disappointing if he has a part in Texas A&M winning the SEC Championship cause that is the Texas region football fandom I dislike the most.

DD seems to have conquered his personal demons and became an excellent assistant coach. I do think that he ruined his own career at NT and he should have been fired.

DRC: UNT want to compete for championships. It's looking more and more like C-USA's Florida schools will be a key obstacle in the East https://www.dentonrc.com/sports/florida-schools-rise-changes-dynamic-in-c-usa/article_a2e6d41e-d457-5b4a-b5da-bb320b2614be.html

This is great news. I really believe while well deserved these inclusions also have a lot to do with a more proactive athletic department

Don’t they know his players wore black once?

One of the 17?

that sorta looks like @emmitt01... Yes, it needs to be green, and the eyebrows need to be bushier (on the eagle, not on @emmitt01)

I hate Lane Kiffin... Tom Herman is a close second.

DRC: MTSU Stockstill father-son duo prepares for final season together https://www.dentonrc.com/sports/notebook-unt-wide-receiver-duo-make-biletnikoff-watch-list/article_1467c744-d6a7-5d64-ad1f-ce7c007c324f.html

I think as long as we hold onto Chancellor Roe and BOR members of the crop we've had in the last ten years, we may not have to worry about this as much. For as thorough Roe's credentials and expertise are in managing STEM-minded organizations, funding, et al, she is also very well-acquainted with the value of sports to universities. Her son is a Redshirt-JR DT at Virginia Tech, if you recall.

Don't do that to me...

I agree. The softball game against Oklahoma was sold out but was cancelled due to bad weather. I think softball is the most popular or is rapidly becoming the most popular women’s sport.

I said conditions weren’t ideal not that it was the only reason these schools don’t have baseball. I see your a sensitive person so I’ll leave it be.

It's all about the money. I have always said that this program would go nowhere until it found more donors and more season ticket buyers. They have done both to some extent and have increased the student fee. This extra money is proving transformational.

Lets just hope we get to here the lady sing when the game is over. Sorry I just think this is the funniest video ever.

DO NOT go to "Pigtails", their adult entertainment bar...it gets too rowdy for UNT fans after a game.

Do you think he has 09/12/2020 circled on his calendar, with a note ("MFers") below? Question, no info. 🙂

Fla schools in the east, North Texas in the west. Good pub for the conference.

Zach Orr makes the list without question.

This has to be a joke. You post an opinion story with conjecture and not stats as some validation of dehumanizing a baby and calling them an anchor? This article is about: 1) Wealthy enough foreigners who flying into the State (legally) on a travel visa and stay long enough in a club med style hotel until they give birth. That child then can be a US citizen -- which is a nice option to give your child. There is nothing illegal about this action, but it doesn't "feel" right, like it may be exploiting some loophole for person gain? I thought that was cheered by the libertarians and GOP? Either way, it is still the current law about being born on our land and citizenship... fairly fundamental.. It doesn't speak to coming and declaring asylum and requesting a trial (which is legal too). 2) Then it attempts to touch on the ethics of surrogacy and nationality. Which has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with this topic. It is something only the well off can even consider. Also, it should talk about the ethics of using the bodies of the poor for the gain of the rich family life. But alas, I thought using manual labor to line the pockets was something the GOP loved. In the end - in neither of these situations - is the baby a dead object holding something down.

It would better if we could get a green eagle!

That might suggest Dickey was able to adjust his offensive scheme to the skills and abilities of his players, rather than insisting the players fit - like round pegs into square holes - into his preferred offense.

I’ve seen this mentioned a few times. I don’t remember this, or the MF’er quote. Could you help jog my memory? Side note: I ran into his mom in New Orleans...Didn’t know it was her, but I had been drinking and asked her if she was for UNT or Memphis? Her response was, “Well, my sons the coach for UNT so I’d better root for them.” We took a pic and went our separate ways. Sweet lady.

I don't know about "MOST IMPORTANT", but A&M's D coordinator had better be the "MOST SUCCESSFUL" assistant or they can forget anything resembling a championship in the SEC. Rick

It’s a fair question. He was quite the conundrum—could develop kids into tough players if the talent was there, but if it wasn’t, then he couldn’t get anything done. I think he knew he never had a QB he trusted to throw it a lot, even Scott Hall, who was his best QB. He just didn’t take chances with the offense, plain and simple. With apogee and this administration and especially this AD, he could have been our version of USM’s Jeff Bower. But he couldn’t get the administration to even try to update the stadium situation, the AD just kept his head down and did whatever to stay in budget and get an extension, and the fans/media just didn’t care about the SBC back then at all. Dickey should’ve gotten a head coaching job somewhere else with the success he rolled out from 2001-2004, but he could not even get a bit of interest. I still think we beat him down to the point of him just not giving in a rip in the last two years here. That Black Hutch Jersey debacle was so high school, it wasn’t even funny—pure embarrassment. I’d rather be called an MFer every day than see my alma mater, the Mean Green, roll out in a uniform that a YMCA team wouldn’t want to wear.

You could be a trend setter!

Thanks. I saw it earlier, but couldn't update the list at work. I think we lucked out with our home schedule for conference play. Middle, Western and Marshall all at home.

My dad played there in the 40's and they have always been a distant second as far as teams I follow. Absolutely beautiful campus and part of the state. Not so much a Jerry Jones fan.

conspiracy theories borne from nothing but his skin color and funny name, not a history of bankruptcies, failed businesses and a penchant for inflating considerably his personal wealth. not to mention it has been a, usually as little more than placating window-dressing, a concession made by all presidential candidates for 50 years. but ok. I found an article dated 4/27/2011 entitled "Obama releases long-form birth certificate"...assuming that is the correct date, by my math that is 807 days into his presidency. it is day 537 of the Trump presidency, so he has 270 days to square things and you get to maintain intellectual consistency. I'll be sure to set an alert

Thank you for the correction. I've just reallocated my rent payments to go to the scholarship fund.
