    The whole "criticize in private, praise in public" works well for big donors, not so much for the little guy. Are you claiming to be a big donor? Or just using this as an excuse because you are on the wrong side of UNT history. 

    WTF?  Works for the big donor but not the little guy?  Where in the world did you ever come up with this idea.  You blamed the big donors, if I remember correctly as you were highly critical of the supposed 17, but don't let these facts cloud you version of history.  More comedy.  Thanks SE

  10. Who is UNT's football rival?

    Where the 100 or so lost ardent fans on a fan board stand. Let's be honest, here.

    I'm confused. Are you now saying they aren't our rival? 

    No.  I was talking about the schools I placed in bold.  Pretty clear if you read it.

    I don't think you can tell someone you're their rival and suddenly it is true. I'm not sure if you are joking about UNT being SMU's biggest rival, or not? But what do you base that on, seriously? If you asked any SMU fan (current student, young alum, old alum) who are SMU's rivals, I don't think anyone would say UNT. And that is nothing against UNT. It's just that we have never been in the same conference and we've rarely played each other. If I had to name SMU's top 5 rivals they would be TCU, UH, Baylor, Rice and maybe Texas Tech since we have continued to play them post SWC.

    TCU has moved on and they are doing well but we continue to play them every year in most sports and just as important is the schools are very similar - private, compete for the same students, similar student bodies, 40 miles apart and we were in a conference together for over 80 years. Also, despite the recent success of TCU football the all-time records in football and basketball are still close. Football - TCU leads 48-40-8. Basketball - SMU leads 109-89. 

    After visiting your board for awhile now, there are many posters on here who seem to really hate SMU for whatever reason, and I'm not asking why as I've read the many stereotypes posted about SMU over and over. Honestly, before visiting this board I had no clue there was any animosity between the school's fans. Most of my SMU friends I stay in contact with love Denton and have nothing bad to say about UNT. Also, the UNT people I know and work with have never once mentioned that they dislike SMU in anyway. I'm not trying to change your opinion of SMU because I know I'm not going to but I have no idea where all the hate comes from, and we have never blackballed you from a conference since I've been at SMU (mid-2000s). That's a myth.

    Might want to see what your head coach thinks.  Oh wait, here you go.

    None of those schools, except maybe TCU because you all play for a cooking implement, considers SMU their rival...none.  So, your first sentence fits here too.

    Or over 15 years, right? And that's just fine with you. 

    People will recall your posts. You can't have a civil discussion with me on any issue without snark or personal attack. Again, it goes back to you wanting to kill the messenger over RV. It goes back to you having your feelings hurt over the way a group of alums extended their displeasure with the last AD, who you supported until 66-7, maybe even a bit after. 

    I feel sorry for people who can't seperate issues, who can't understand the long term outlook may be VERY different than the short term outlook. So, yes, I feel sorry for you. 

    #expectmore

    Clueless drivel. 

    Here are some facts for you:

    1.  I believed it was time for RV to go, stated many times on here, and I do not know the man.

    2.  My feelings were not hurt over the banner.  I just think there are better ways to convey the message that can be done without drawing attention to one's self/ego stroking.  I know you think your actions led directly to RV's demise, which is comical and far from factual, but believe what you need to believe to make yourself feel important.  Your a Dallasite, aren't you?

    3.  Recall my posts?  That is the best you can do?

    4.  I full understand the issues and how they effect the short and long term outlook of the program.

    5.  Don't feel sorry for me.  There is no need.

    6.  My expectations for UNT and UNT athletics have always been higher than what has ever been delivered.  A simple, civil discussion would reveal that, but you have to personally attack anyone that doesn't believe you or supports your point of view.

    Again, realistically, this program has 68 scholarship players, is paper thin, has question marks at EVERY POSITION on offense except running back and at 8 of the 11 positions on defense. 

    Littrell coach speaks because that is what coaches do. 

    I also realize the impact of Portland St 66 UNT 7 and know that there will be consequences with the some in the fan base. Maybe I'm wrong. We will see Saturday.

    I don't blindly believe. A lot of people, especially you, did with RV for years, and that delayed the progress of this program immeasurably.

    You want to keep making the same mistakes and expect a different outcome? Have at it. 

    I refuse to do so.

    That said, I have long term hope that maybe, just maybe, this program has turned the corner and, most importantly, UNT has FINALLY decided to invest in athletics. I hope I am right, but proof will be required.

    Again, criticizing with no facts to back it up. 

    Look, just because people don't take their complaints public or fly them behind a plane or beat their chests and remind everyone of their Club Level commitment doesn't mean they accept the status quo.  Some day you might understand this, but the narcissist in you won't allow it.

    And I believe people like you with your terrible expectations and rah rah feel goofiness 3 weeks out of the year are the rival of UNT football. 

    I expect you to be all rosey with a 2 or 3 win season this year. Actually, I expect you to never expect anything.

    Still waiting on you to find one post of mine that shows these are my expectations.  Just one.  Must be nice to live off of assumptions and speculation.  You don't ever have to be right, just right in your own mind.

    I know your expectations for this program by your posts on here, and they are embarrassingly low. You call me names and hate me because of my stance on RV and you say I'm hateful about everything about this program when, in reality, you are describing yourself with your consistent acceptance of low performance levels for this program.

    I'll expect more. I'll expect UNT to continue to advance up the FBS ladder and I expect consequences if they don't. 

    You can continue your small minded attacks if you like, but one of these days, this program will out perform your wildest dreams, and we will drag your low expectation ass with us, kicking, screaming, and insulting us the whole way. 

    Please show me one post that reflect my "embarrassingly low" expectations.  Just one.  While you are at it, show me the threads where I call you names and stated I hate you.  I don't hate you.  I feel sorry for you.  My expectations for our program are that we should be on level with the other big FBS schools in the state including UT and A&M.  No reason we should not be.  But, I also understand that this does not occur overnight.  I'll sit and wait on your replies to my requests above.  I would guess they would show up somewhere between your name calling and patting yourself on your back for you club level donations and seats...seats that you sold.

    Short term realist, long term optimist.

    I know that's hard for your 6-6 forever brain to comprehend.

    Hardly. People need to raise their expectations. Happiness hating SMU for no reason is false happiness. But you know that...

    Then raise your expectations above 17,000 attendance, 2 win predicting self.  I went with 30K + and a 6-6 record this year chief, as in the beginning of the Littrell era.  Coach is quoted in a video of saying they are going to a bowl game.  I expect them to achieve that.  Get on board oh yea of little faith and low expectations.
