Make sure she sees the Student Orientation Video, too.

Great... You just got him a $400k annual raise and a 3 year contract extension.

We pay Johnny Jetplane over $1.7 Million dollars, and this is Year 5. In Dickey time, we'd be on our 2nd conference championship this year. If we're still waiting for "fruits of his labor" this time next year? As far as I'm concerned, Sky King and his coaching coterie of intermittently competents and occasional sex offenders can all pack up and fly away into the wild blue yonder. We pay top dollar for our conference, we ought to be successful in it, not stumblefumbling our way through a loss to a conference mate with no other D1 wins this year AND that's currently on their 3rd head coach of the season like Southern Miss. Or taking 4 touchdown beatings against the likes of Charlotte. Coach Lindbergh has got the stadium, he's got the money for his assistants, he's got an indoor practice facility, he's got the Spirit of St. Louis in his contract... If we're not ripe to bursting in Year 6, he ought to be cleaning rotten fruit off the sideline and building a resume to go job hunting.

Building on here... It's the damndest coincidence, isn't it? Once upon a time, we were in The Worst Conference in college football. It was holding us back. Never mind that we couldn't even post a winning record against conference opponents for the last EIGHT YEARS we spent in The Worst Conference... One of the main reasons we couldn't move our program forward was our affiliation with that conference. We had to get out. Then, we got out! Regional rivalries, Texas opponents, historically greater reputation. FINALLY! And... Now, we're once again in The Worst Conference in college football! And, we've never won it. And, more times than not, we can't even post a winning record against conference opponents in The Worst Conference. Again! Meanwhile, the conference we left behind got better, and the programs they brought up from the minor leagues (which had a history of success and an institutional commitment to maintaining it that went beyond "THROW ALL THE MONEY AT THE HEAD COACH!") are doing quite well! It's almost like maybe our biggest problems aren't and never were the conference at all. Maybe... We're part of the conference's problem, and not the other way around. And maybe the REAL Worst Conference is actually the friends we made along the way? I don't know. I think that when there was one set of footsteps, Matt Simon was carrying me.

Absolutely devastating to the Goodwill Games industry...

We need more Network Stars, and I demand that they battle for my amusement. Also, the Olympics have only been half as good ever since we started getting half as many Germanys in them.

Too political. If you have to ask, it's probably too political. Any political is too political. Jokes based in politics angry up the blood. People respond in kind or in anger, and it all ends up in the same latrine hole anyway.

...but only after everyone already spent 12 years pooping through the slot into the original suggestion box.

This is a ruler. That is a cat. I hope this helps.

Well... You have 24 hours to think of what to say next. Better luck tomorrow!

Congrats on a hot streak of stupidity. You're a multi-vitamin now. Use it wisely!

Whatever happened, and whatever was right or just... Matthew Broderick's character paid a terrible price for his actions.

It's a great movie. Chris Klein is at his all time best, Reese Witherspoon and Broderick are both at the top of their games.

For THIS VERY REASON? 🤨

The only reason we should ever be this bad is if we lose two quarterbacks. The year it all fell apart for Dickey was the 2005 season. Here's what the QB roster should have been for him: Andrew Smith (died in a car crash, August 2004) Joey Byerly (academically ineligible, July 2005) Daniel Meager (RS Freshman, missed spring practice due to shoulder surgery on his throwing arm) So, we had to roll into the new season with an injured Freshman that missed spring practice and should have been developing as a 3rd stringer that year. That's when it all started going to hell. And that was 15 years ago, before a graduate transfer (or expedited "hardship" transfer) could parachute in over the summer and excel at a CUSA school the way we've seen during the Littrell era at more than one in-conference opponent like La Tech and FAU. This year, our starter is a 27 year old that's been in the program for two full years. The backup has seen action in 8 games and has two years in the program, too. Nobody is hurt... So, why are we THIS awful? So much depends on the QB, that's the ONLY excusable reason we should be bottom 10 caliber. If a unit struggles or injuries strike elsewhere? Okay, maybe we're mediocre or a game or two under .500. But Bottom 10 bad without a QB problem? And if we DO have a QB problem with no injuries or transfers out in year 5 under Littrell... We don't have a QB problem, we have a coach problem. Either we aren't developing our guys, or we aren't recognizing they have limitations and going out to shop on the grad transfer market. Whatever it is, it has to fall on the guy making $1.8 Million, doesn't it?

Language evolves. Across cultures, over time, from one mouth to another ear. So, while a lexicon may be perfectly valid for a given time and a given culture, that may or may not hold any weight or accurately convey the intended meaning for another day and another group. To seek definition in any permanent sense is like trying to stack grains of sand. You can never truly succeed, and any progress you make is fleeting and unsteady, to say the least. That said... You asked for an admin's perspective. So, here's how *I* use these reactions. RV is easy. Whatever he was to you (the royal "You", not you specifically as the original poster quoted here), I can't know or comprehend. RV is many things to many people, and the spectrum runs wide. But wherever you categorize him... Hero or villain, champion or failure, leader or disappointment... It is undeniable that the man was sexy as hell. This is thoroughly documented, and it is not in dispute. So, when *I* use the RV reaction, it means that something in that post was attractive, arousing, appealing, shockingly erotic... Call it what you want. When a post makes the blood pump, likely as it circulates to the intimate extremities? The only proper reaction is an RV. Ray is more complicated. What is Ray? Is he a tragedy? A comedy? A cautionary tale? One of a litany of torments suffered by Nathan Tune as he faced a Job-like mountain of afflictions? When I think of Ray, I think of a suffering beast that managed to break free and find hope on his own terms. And that freedom from misery, however fleeting, gives me the sort of hope I seldom get to enjoy as a North Texas graduate and fan. Like Butch and Sundance, guns blazing as they charge towards the Bolivian army... Like Thelma and Louise, hand-in-hand as they drive to the only freedom a hard world could offer them... Ray refused to surrender, Ray jumped that fence and ran into his own sunset. What came next? I have no idea. It's been more than 10 years, and that dog looked old and hungry even before he made his grand escape. In a way... It doesn't matter. Because Ray lives forever in a freeze frame of triumph. He's forever free of that chain, forever beyond that fence. He's living his own life, on his own terms, come what may. And that's what Ray means to me. He's a hero to the hopeless. He's a success story for the downtrodden. Ray is an INSPIRATION. So when a post inspires me? I give it a Ray. Skeptical Eagle is dumb. I don't like that one. Don't use Skeptical Eagle for anything. Down arrow it or roll eyes at it. I hope this helps.

2nd sentence. I'm right there with you.

Not true at all. Asinine statement. Now, whether or not he can prepare a team to play WELL? I'm not arguing that one.

Yeah, I can't believe how disgusted I was that Todd Dodge walked away from this place with over a million dollars of UNT money. I mean, it WAS a disgusting robbery, but... Look how far we've come! Dodge didn't even have a plane!
