NO! NO! NO! not the "Diet Coke Boy" anyone but the "Diet Coke Boy"!!! What are you thinking!!!! He is the Key! What in the heck did the "Diet Coke Boy" ever do to you? We need to petition to SAVE the "Diet Coke Boy"!!!! Diet Coke! DIET Coke! DIET COKE! Diet Coke! DIET COKE!

No Kidding, I can only wish more Mean Green fans would really get in to the games, yell and scream, stomp their feet the entire game. It is called passion! This is what cranks up the spirit! The reason this guy sticks out is there is not enough of this kind of fan. Folks there are many stadiums the fans never sit the entire game and most yell and scream until they go hoarse. Let the the team know you are there and that you care what is happening. Earn the Title "MEAN GREEN FAN"! I know, most are just "Green" Fans and would prefer everyone in the stands to sit quietly, clap when appropriate, and show you spirit in a polite orderly manner. My God!

Rick V reads these posts, this is one he should answer. Where are the Quarterly meetings Rick we really want them? What is the Deal?

No contest CUSA. I can live with Fouts if we are heading in the right direction and CUSA would be the right step. CUSA would give us more DFW public notice, more sponsors, more donors, and should give us better recruiting. Fout's Field is not keeping us out of CUSA.

This could be read another way, that RV's choices now need to be ratified anyway, and that he would be the designated employee. I think the big news is that RV or the president won't need the BOR approve up to 1/2 a million dollars. Well RV already had his hands tied with DD as I see it, this is more power for him, and maybe he can use this to work back to Football. Bobby Ray knows RV would probably cut DD loose so he can't give him that power, or maybe they plan on making the Football coach a higher maximum like 3/4 million or a cool million dollars.

You got to keep those deadly violent deer down with something! Look out he coming right for us!

I believe you are right. Long live the Bowls.

Now that is funny. Mostly because Dickey hates this place. You know the fans and the facilities, the toughest situation in all of football.

While I am no big fan of our conference or the meaning of the New Orleans Bowl. I think it is one of the best locations to have a bowl game, and there is nothing more I love than spending a few days in the Big Easy with a whole bunch of friends, alumni, students and family all coming together as Crazy Screaming MEAN GREEN fans! Some of the best times ever.

Nice to see this article in the NT Daily, at least he has some things correct and does a little nut cutting.

You are pretty much on the mark, Part of my job is Demographics and that has to be one of the worst areas of the Dallas city limits to place a Campus. It makes no sense at all and is not thought out, if it is really important they should take advantage of the redevelopment in and around Downtown Dallas. Near where the Law school is supposed to go, it would help both Dallas and UNT with plenty of redevelopment money and land on the south edge of downtown.

I got submitted, that guy Brad McDonnell doesn't have a clue or he was looking to light up some readers.

Playing Hockey at the Euless Star's Center!!

It seems like a very poor location choice for a campus.

If they got organized why can't we?? FFR as poster boy with a caption: Help Rick Help the Mean Green!!! PlummMeanGreen as chairman! Apply soon many offices still up for grabs!

DD can't even push himself to hold his own Diet Coke!!!

Boy I can't wait to get mine!

Maybe DD will apply it will be a good place for him!

I did as well. But as said above the survey was set up in such a way that athletics did not have a chance, there were only one or two questions that related to athletics. I did add some comments that said athletics were the most important part for me as an alumni. Any survey can and usually are set up to find out the results the surveyors want to prove.

Yup 2002 was the year our Defense was ranked in the top 10. Then DeLoach left and the D slowly went down hill.

Oh what a night that was, I forgot all that happened. I am glad someone had pictures.

I heard that the BOR stepped in and kept RV from firing DD in 2001 and were also responsible for the extensions against RV wishes. I don't think RV is on board with a good part of DD's philosophy. Well the whole thing has caused bad blood between them and they talk to each other as little as possible. meangreendork - I would think that RV and the BOR could figure out lots of ways to come up with money for a coach if they got on the same page. Keep in mind a stronger coach would bring more fans, more donations, and more sponsors. Next consider what a perfect stepping stone school UNT is right now, with attendance up a BOR and a AD that are building the facilities and the sports programs. To top it off we are in a Conference that if you team goes just over .500 you will probably be the Conference Champion and hero of the school. SO For a good Coach trying to make a name for himself as Head Coach money is not necessarily the most important part. Also Money can be deferred, loaded on the back-end of the contract, set-up as incentives and so on. This "we don't have money argument" is a joke.

Dickey, Dickey, he's your man - if he can do it anyone can!!! Go Dickey! Does that make you feel better Rick? I think it is funny that DMN talks about RV & DD meeting but I have heard all year long that DD and RV hardly talk to each other and there is plenty of bad blood between them.

We may be selling Bobby Ray short! I don't know that we can expect DD and staff back next year. I believe several on DD's staff will be leaving this year and not by choice or by DD's choice for that matter. I would even go as far as saying that DD is on thin ice now. Per Bobby Ray what is he supposed to say to a fan and backer if asked in public on the subject? Could he really say, "well we are unpleased and currently looking for someone better, but until we get it locked up we are not ready to fire DD." Some will always walk the company line. Keep in mind anything can happen when it comes to UNT and politics.
