Please understand their viewpoint. Considering those inbreds rarely make it past the door of mama's basement, it feels like a trip out of state to them.4 points

That's actually cute. Especially since it'll be an Oklahoman that's carving them up. Just holding out hope the Oklahoman WR is also ready to go.4 points

Enrollment has never been an issue. We've always been somewhere in the top five in enrollment in Texas since the 60's. Do I need to go over this again? Where we were decades behind everyone else was the issue of fund raising. Put plainly, we not only hadn't been fund raising like just about all the other schools in D-1 football, it was NOT PART OF OUR CULTURE TO GIVE BACK TO THE UNIVERSITY. And that was because our previous Presidents either strongly discouraged it, or forbid it. When Hayden Fry became the head coach he asked who was in charge of funding raising for the athletic department. The response was "what?". Hayden Fry started the Mean Green club, along with other cultural changes regarding athletics. Hayden correctly assessed the situation as being a CULTURAL ISSUE. And one of the biggest needs in culture change was fund raising. Fund raising was in it's infancy at North Texas when he arrived, but it had not spread to the Athletic Department. He set out to change that. But not without resistance from old nesters still ensconced in the administration. The first president to discard the no-fund-raising tradition was John Kamerick, but this cultural momentum was temporarily interrupted when Kamerick was forced out by the Governor of Texas because of Kamericks anti-Vietnam war sentiments. The next President to be hired to change the funding culture was C.C. "Jitter" Nolan. The word out on him was that he was not even remotely an academian (much to the dismay of all the aforementioned "old nesters").....he was a FUND RAISER. He hired Hayden Fry and then went about trying to raise funds for the University. I worked for the University on a moving truck prior to enrolling at NT. And one time we went over to the Presidents home to set up some sort of fund raising event. I was sent to the garage to get something that we needed and while there I saw inventory stacked up that would have been the envy of just about any liquor store in the area. I just chuckled at the stark difference in Dr. Matthews and "Jitter Nolan". I thought to myself "boy! have things changed". I don't know exactly when our endowment fund was set up, but I'm guessing it was around the Kamerick/Nolan administration. addendum: Just as I thought....... ....and that is why our endowment is a pathetic 190 mil. By comparison, the endowment for Rice University (established in 1912) is 6.2 Billion. The University of Houston's (established in 1927) endowment is 942 Million.4 points

PAC 12 member Washington State’s stadium has a capacity of 35,000. I haven’t read the links, but Is UAB’s an on-campus stadium with a prime location between 2 interstates with an IPF near the FB stadium & other major varsity sports venues located in an Olympic style village all within walking distance? Just askin’.🙄 💚 GMG! GMG!3 points

In my humble opinion, Wren has the rare marketing fail with this one. The first marketing I’ve seen for this coming from the athletic department came out today. Just 4 days before the event. Didn’t they promote this event for a couple weeks last year? On another note, looking forward to seeing Animal! 😂 He can’t possibly be in worse shape than Hacksaw Jim Dugan was last year.3 points

Enrollment is not as big a factor as you think?3 points

I’m very excited about him, even though the offer list isn’t great. He is the first high school recruit Littrell has signed that actually has left tackle written all over him. Problem is he is going to at least need a redshirt year.3 points

Time to up that Athletics fee by another dollar with all the newbies that don’t know any better. Good programs are fed by money. Maybe we will be able to afford to keep our sweet SL savior another year.3 points

“Win out”, meaning beat Houston in 2 weeks, win every conference game (including the championship) & a bowl game... and be “disappointed“? Did you really think that question all the way through? Because I think I can speak for about 98% of Mean Green fandom when I say: NO! I won’t be disappointed in going 12-2 with a C-USA championship & bowl win.3 points

This is how the wrestling SHOULD be done: 1) Halftime performance. 2) As the initial match concludes, the winner shreds the top part of their uniform to reveal a T-shirt underneath of <OPPONENT HERE> 3) Once the wrestler is identified as an “enemy”, Stone Cold immediately comes out from the tunnel and clocks the wrestler. Then Stone waves UNT flag around the ring for a little bit. Crowd goes absolutely nuts. If something like above happens the performance would no doubt be on a ton of top 10 lists and likely generate similar amounts of social media buzz as last years fake fair catch. Halftime concludes with some band schenanigans.3 points

Who? The Border Twins, UTEP and UTSA? Same colors, same uniforms, same hand signs...are they one and the same? The UTEP Mynahs and the UTSA Roadrunners, these birds are mirror images of each other.2 points

First of all, be a little more respectful of Mexico. They don't deserve to be lumped in with nUTSAck. Second, you know they have issues with geography. Every day their students intend to drive to Austin and just go a little too far on 35.2 points

The problem with this argument is that we've never had in our history (this history that for some reason applies to 2019) what we have now: Facilities AD leadership support donations coaching salaries Our history has NOTHING to do with what we have now because we've never had what we have. If we're going to use our past to justify our present then we have to compare apples to apples. So yes....given what we have TODAY...8-4 is a disappointment. I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT WE'VE AVERAGED SINCE 1967. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO WHAT I EXPECT OUT OF SETH LITTRELL. The highest paid coach in CUSA, top 10 in G5, who gets whatever he wants from the administration and has the most to work with of any coach in our history. Go win the damn conference: period. Especially THIS conference. The worst in FBS. 9 wins a season is a reasonable expectation for him. If it's not then quit paying him like it is.2 points
