  3. RV joins us on podcast tonight: Questions?

    I want to hear him talk about scheduling, and take responsibility for this year's gauntlet. What are the steps to ensure a better schedule for future years  HAS HE LEARNED FROM HIS MISTAKES???!!

    I would also like to hear you guys thank him for everything he's done. The haters on this board clearly don't remember how deep in a hole this program was before RV.  If you think it's bad now, you clearly don't remember Helwig.  We played so many body bag FB  games just to fund the other sports it was exhausting. 

    I'd like to hear about baseball, fundraising, and what will happen with the space Fouts occupies?  Have they fixed the problem of long beer lines?

  4. What if.....

    I sat at Rice Stadium on September 20, 2008 and watched our beloved UNT Mean Green get beat 77-20. I had a Rice fan look at me and honestly say "don't worry buddy, we have been there." A nice sentiment, but you don't get beaten like that by Rice. Dodge was a mistake. But for the what if game, what if we had an AD who believed in UNT with passion and didn't see the football program as a business. Who wanted to break the chains of mediocrity. Who sees the inclusion into Conference USA as a stepping stone, not the destination.

    clearly you don't remember AD's before RV. 

    Back to the original question. I think Dodge has football smarts and is a good evaluator of talent. 2 fatal flaws though. He was loyal to his HS coaches & he was loyal (biased) toward his son. Yeah, he should have handled things differently. But he didn't. That's on him. I like him, but he screwed up.

    Sinbad was on my morning show today for SXSW. Really nice guy. He spends his time these days promoting his daughters music career. Club music. Not my scene but the entire family is very pleasant.

    I talked to him last year quite a but was way too busy this year to chat him up about Denton.

    I know those around long enough to have heard Bill Mercer will always associate his voice with UNT sports. For me, George will always be that guy. Sad to see him go. Thanks for the memories!

    Dunham loved the job so much that he stole it from Merecer. In his book Mercer pulled no punches in his description of that fiasco. While I think Dunham has done a fantastic job I've always held a bit of resentment for how he went about securing that job. Maybe another Mercer protege can step up.

    I took both semesters of Mercer's broadcast sports class. I have respect for anyone who can do this well. It ain't easy.

    Despite my personal feelings about Dunham I will miss his call. He does a superb job.

    It happens everywhere. I work on the UT campus quite a bit. I see tshirts from all different schools. Even A&M. Take it in stride. The more important question is if we are seeing more NT apparel on campus. You will ALWAYS see other schools represented.
