    I think he's getting down voted because he is criticizing Wren Baker and a promise (???) he made on timelines on having the Strategic and Master Plan out this summer. I don't personally recall a timeline on when this would happen but that doesn't mean Wren actually made that promise.

    I always love how fans can somehow hold someone accountable where these fans have absolutely no method to enact any kind of change. Yes, fans can stop donating money and buying ticket/attending games but that hurts the student athletes more than it hurts people like Wren Baker.

    Yes I am a fan...but I'm also a son of Denton going to his hometown university and I'm tired of settling. I made a thread and if you google it there was a contract put out for the creation of such a plan

    a bid to a contracter has been put in a while ago. So where is it? Why can't I see it?

    Or because he's completely off topic??? The thread is about uniforms.  If you want to talk Facilities Master Plan and  AD Strategic Plan, why not make a thread dedicated to it?  

    I did....apparently no one gave a crap about it 😅

    I'm not really sure why @Salsa_Verde is getting down voted.  The question is a valid one.  

    To reassure SV, there is a plan, I think it is a very good one.  I don't understand why it hasn't been released yet.  

     

    I just hope that those working on it remember that perfect is the enemy of good.  It needs to be out ASAP.  It will be a huge show of "something different, new, and innovative" that so many long time fans need.  

    That's my point...I'm just a regular guy asking for info on a path forward. I ask what's going on and I get vilified for it. I want us to be the best and expect the best. Is that too much to ask?!

    Everyone is worried about uniforms (which is still important) but yet the fan base is owed:

    1)"Athletic Facility Master Plan that will provide a facility road map for North Texas Athletics for the next 15-20 years."

    -Wren Baker 

    2)"Our administrative team is in the final stages of developing our athletics strategic plan which will set the long-term direction for our program."

    -Wren Baker 

    If it's out there please direct me to where it is found and I'll be taking your down votes to the chest 

    -GMG 

    -Since grandgreen and tmjerm are the first to down vote me I'll say this 

    because I quote the AD and ask what's up with the timeline that he himself put forward I'm somehow in the wrong for brining it up?! all I'm asking is for a normal amount of accountability nothing more.

    Quick, honest question.  What players off of those Ryan teams, outside of the DT, made an impact on the college level?

    Fair enough...but you can't deny these kids weren't quality players (that North Texas would have taken in a heart beat) coming out of high school. We can all look back now and say they didn't work out but at the time everyone thought differently. They could have been legends at North Texas instead they chose to go to a P5 school where some faded into obscurity. My point is this, this program isn't where it needs to be because its core is still weak. If you're unable to recruit consistently in your own backyard you will struggle the farther you move away from your own flag pole. I don't blame the kids for going somewhere else either. Recruiting in Texas is a double edge sword. Its rich in talent but there are a lot of high schools that have had facilities that rival some Div-1 schools and if your facilities don't stack up to a high schools, you're going to be struggling at a consistent basis. I apologize for saying what everyone already knows.

    Man, you are about to get welcomed into a new reality...

    That 1-11 season in 2015 was only a 1 and not a zero because UTSA had to play its 5th string QB in the second half of a game here that we scored a late TD to win.

    You'll learn over time that 5 win seasons are about as good as it usually gets around here. Since 1995, when we moved up to this level of play again, we have won more than 6 games 4 times and 5 games 4 times. Every other season since 1995, a total of 22 seasons, we have won 4 games or less 14 times. That includes two seasons with 1 win, five seasons with 2 wins, four seasons with 3 wins, and three seasons with 4 wins. That covers 3 ADs, 6 head coaches, 3 conferences, and 2 stadiums.

    We just want victories of any style at this point--I don't care if they are moral or real...

    I appreciate the info. I've been Following North Texas since 2000 so you're not telling me anything I didn't already know. Graduated from Denton Ryan in 2003. While North Texas was winning in the Sun Belt and playing at Fouts Field, Denton Ryan was winning state championships (and winning playoff games at Texas Stadium) these teams were filled with talent and North Texas could never take advantage of that. I digress....I just refuse to be the guy that's starving and settles for a piece of bread. 

    Thanks for time

  14. Forbes list of top colleges in the nation

    in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)

    Posted

    The top 50 schools shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone but the Forbes list is different than other lists as it puts more emphasis on ROI metrics. Post Graduate success, student satisfaction, student debt, graduation rate and academic success.  The list has a lot of small private colleges that I've never heard of, that's what was surprising to me. North Texas has moved up from 581 in 2014 to 500 in 2017. That's a positive trend that I hope continues.

    I'm all for second chances but a lot of these kids are more trouble than they are worth. Ronald Ollie has already left Nicholls State, John Franklin III will probably never start at Auburn and Kam Carter although talented could care less about football. I wish all these players the best but the payoff doesn't justify bringing in some of these headaches into the locker room.
