The longer this carries out the more I am convinced the whole thing is about contract negotiations with UNT.

For years we talked here about wanting to be the next UH. A springboard for the great up and coming coaches. When we hired Littrel it showed the AD finally understood what was needed at North Texas. A young, energetic, upwardly mobile coach that will use us to build his resume and we will use him to elevate our program. What we are feeling now was inevitable but also fortunate, in that it means we have had success. The majority of my disappointment comes from the fact that our coaching search will be late and we never landed the best recruiting class in a long long time. I would not be shocked at all if Graham Harrell is announced as the next head coach. Yes we all have our reservations about GH being the next head coach. But, if it means keeping the recruiting class together and possibly our staff then he deserves a very strong look.

If Seth turns down the K-state job you have the city of Manhattan Kansas to thank. With a population of 52k, where will you be spending your millions? Its almost three hours to Kansas City, about the same to Omaha. If he wants to see family in Muskogee it will take almost 6 hours. But, he will be rich! He can just fly everywhere. Well he better have a private jet otherwise his choices are limited out of Manhattan Regional Airport.

ABQ will be a great weekend trip. Honestly I think people are butt hurt because they live in Dallas and it inconveniences them. For those of us out of town the FRB totally sucks. Its the worst possible date and time. ABQ is a 300 dollar flight from Houston and a far better destination than Dallas. Unfortunately i have to decide between the game or my daughters birthday party. Not sure I can miss that.

The bowls are always in a push-pull situation with the city and with ESPN. First Responders would like to sell tickets and make Dallas and ESPN happy. Dallas does not really want UNT because it does not bring in outside revenue. ESPN could care less about attendance if it undermines viewership. The P5’s desperately don’t want to be matched up with a G5 if it can be avoided. What does all this mean? Not one CUSA team appears to be a interesting bowl game. Further there are very few G5 teams that are all that happy with their bowl situation.

On Twitter it was teased that we may be in a bowl game that does not have a C-USA tie-in. Would that indicate Independence bowl is close to happening?

Why F'ing media? It's a reporters job to report a factual story. It's our job to measure our reaction to the story. People always seem to misunderstand this principle.

I am not sure why we even compare these numbers unless of course the programs got together ahead of time and discuss what multiplier they are going to use to fudge them.

If you ever gave me the nickname Tiki Torch we would have words. That would elicit fears in the mosquito population but not opponents. Moscow Mauler is already taken, sadly.

Agree to disagree.? I think it's cool.

They eat everything except Dragons and Bulldogs.

I love the McRib. I can’t make sense of it so I won’t try. I will just wear the scarlet M proudly as I order another one.

First off lets hope we can keep the recruiting coordinator we have. In all my years as a fan I have never seen a class this good. Second, Wilson will have plenty of opportunities better than Recruiting Coordinator at UNT.

Does that mean we can change the name of the practice filed now?
