    Butthurt bro? 

    Apparently the Astate board isn't worth a shit. But, uh, you can always go back to it. 

    Arkstfan is always welcome here.  He has great insight and obviously connections that provide great information on topics of this nature.  Try not to be a d-bag.

    FYI president@unt.edu goes straight to URCM. Not intercepted.

    I won't argue the careless part, though.

    Regardless, a person in the position of university president has "gatekeepers" to filter what gets through to the Pres and what is sent to someone else to handle.

  3. I know this probably will not happen and will be another point in our history where timing worked against us, but with Garrido stepping down at UT, the future of Skip Johnson is up in the air.  If he is not retained by UT, then we should make a push to get him here to start our program.  He is probably the most respected pitching coach in the NCAA and has a number of MLBA players that work with him in the off-season including Clayton Kershaw.  He would give us instant credibility, has connections all over the state and would attract top level talent, especially pitchers, that would want to work with him.  Now may be the time where coming home, building a program and leaving a legacy is important to him.  Please, BOR, make this happen now or we may miss out on a golden opportunity.

    I got it from common sense to not have anything on your athletic department named for a losing coach who only has his name on that sign because we were held hostage by the donor giving us a million dollars and threatening to take it back. Those fields should be named after either Hayden Fry or Mean Joe Greene. This is an easy thing to correct if the next AD is competent and sees value in the naming rights of those fields. Hell, the field on Apogee could just as easily be named after a huge donor if the right AD gets in there and makes some improvement with the alumni.

     

    I don't think that is how it works.  A donor makes a donation for the naming rights to certain facilities, such as the practice fields, as a one time purchase.  I may be mistaken, but I think Apogee was a 20 year agreement for $1 million a year.  There used to be a list of facilities a person could purchase the naming rights to listed on the athletic department website.  These were a one time fee.

  5. Looks like he is from California, so not sure how we would work with his personal situation.  Held over 30 offers at one time, based on this article, and was rated 4 stars.

    A 3 star by most services but a great offer list.

    Now you are just trolling. Unless you seriously believe being accused of defending RV is a personal attack. Lol.

    Not to mention it's accurate. 

    Your M.O. is hilarious.  If the roles were reversed, you would be calling people out for attacking you or namecalling.  Your passive aggressiveness towards those that disagree with your approach towards the AD or your opinion has become as predictable as the sun setting in the west.
