First off I wanna start off by saying that I rarely ever post on here, but I check this site numerous times day so I feel like I know what has been going on lately. I realize by posting what I'm about to say might put me under fire just like DD, but I care too much about UNT athletics to sit and just watch all the negativity go on. I hope that you all can respect my position and rethink yours with an open mind. With that being said...... I understand completely what DD is saying. We (UNT) have got a great opportunity in our hands to do something really special. We have a chance to make UNT something awesome. To me it seems that a majority of the people on this board are content with the ways things are right now. And yes we have a great new coach that has breathed new life into UNT football, but we cant expect him to change everything around by himself. We as the loyal fans to UNT have to step up and make a difference. Times are changing around campus and we need to take full advantage of it. Hypothetically speaking, what happens if TD doesn't make a good transition to college football? Are we just gonna sit around and wait for another "God-like coach" to pull us out of the dumps? Cause just like DD was saying, we will be in the exact same spot that we were in just a few months ago. Now is the time for us to step up and not make changes, but make additions. As far as traditions go, why not try and start a few more? Is it going to make things worse? I went to every home game last season and to about half the year before (I'm only a Junior) and I always brought along a few friends hoping that they too would become UNT die-hards, but as games went on I noticed more and more students just sitting down (partly because we were losing). I think if we had a few more exciting traditions going on during the games that we would have a more supportive crowd. Also, think about what all comes along with better traditions....better fan support....better recruits....better football. It's all relative. I'm not knocking the traditions we have now, I'm simply saying that this is a great time for UNT so why not leave our mark. 20 or 30 years from now when the new stadium is sold out every Saturday with an energetic crowd, wont it feel great to know that you had a part in it? To know that you just didn't sit around and let one coach turn the whole program around...if it were even possible. Alright I'm done with my soapbox speech. I feel like I'm giving a pep talk from Remember the Titans or something. Let the heckling begin.
