  1. My gut tells me he is not leaving this year.  My reasoning is no more reliable than a mailman's in Detroit Michigan but here goes:

    As he moved up the coaching ladder over the years he had no kids or very young kids.  Now his kids are in school and moving them becomes much harder on them.  My guess is he wants his next move to be his last move.  I dont think Texas Tech is a last move.

    I fully expect UNT to get his pay up to 2 million this year.  More importantly I expect UNT to greatly increase the asst. pool.  I think its a total beating for a head coach when he loses multiple assistants every year.   Being able to keep his assistants in place is important. 

    His stock is rising fast right where he is at.  He has no reason to leave if he can spring board from UNT to an elite position. Texas Tech and similar schools are not elite positions.   

    This is the best looking recruiting class we have had since Joe Greene.  I would think part of the reason for such a good class is coaches promising they will not be leaving in the very near future. Sure coaches are not exactly well known for being truthful but I actually look at Littrell as someone that says what he means.  

     

     

    I fully believe that SL will not be here in 5 years but this will not be the year he leaves.  Take it to the bank!  lol

    The statue is a good idea, but I. Hate. Tailgating. 

     

    Not to besmirch anyone who loves it, but I’ve never gotten the appeal. Maybe if I lived in Iowa where it’s been cool since late August I’d feel differently, but pretty high on my list of hated things is:

    1. Lots of drunk people.

    2. Being hot.

    3. Being outside. 

     

    I’ll get over all those things for “watching Football”, but I won’t for “watching Barbecue.” 🤪

    what is your take on Baseball and apple pie?

  3. We are only going to talk ourselves in circles until our heads hurt.  As fans the only things we can control that might make any difference is to donate money and show up.  Higher pay and a full stadium will give a coach something to think about.  Other than that don't worry about what you can't control.  If Seth leaves he will leave things better than he found them and this will be a very desired job among other up and coming coaches.

  4. Journalism majors can correct me here but I think the general rule of beat writer is to treat the reader as if they are not familiar with the subject or history. Vito always provides some context.  Our record against the SEC is real and relevant to the situation.  It displays the magnitude of the win or the lack of consequence of a loss.  

    That said, I have always felt he has an axe to grind when he uses the "Darrel R. Dickey" practice field.   Hey none of us are perfect! haha

    I tend to agree about Houston but I was shocked how bad their turnout was for a home game against Arizona.  I will chalk it up to scheduling a mid-day game in 95 degree heat.  Still I wonder if not getting into the Big 12 has knocked the bloom off for many of their fans.
