  1. I think they will leave too but do you think the Arizona board of regents - who also represent Arizona State - would let one go without the other?
  2. Allow me to be the first to inform you that DATCU Stadium is not, in fact, the place where the Horned Frogs play. I must confess that, prior to today, I had no idea what DATCU was. Our online managing editor and intrepid UNT alum Matt Goodman informs me it is a Denton-based credit union, so it makes all sort of sense that they would be interested in partnering with the local university. That’s doubly true considering DATCU was founded by UNT faculty following the Great Depression as Denton County Teachers Federal Credit Union (which is known today as Denton Area Teachers Credit Union; here’s a video about it). And it’s triply true considering DATCU president Melanie Vest is a Mean Green alum and the new subject of this moderately disorienting GIF. Alas, sometimes good intentions trump good ol’ common sense. Such is the case now that, in a new naming-rights agreement, UNT’s Apogee Stadium will now be called DATCU Stadium. If you’re in the Denton community, this may not scan as odd to you. For the rest of us, I’ll pause as you read that name a time or three, then you inevitably arrive where I did: the University of North Texas will play its football games at a place people will clown as DA TCU Stadium. And by “will,” I mean “already have.” More than once. This is going to be awkward. read more: https://www.dmagazine.com/sports/2023/07/unt-datcu-football-stadium/
  3. If what you are saying is correct, why would SMU want to be in the PAC10? It will be a very crappy league at that point and require a ton of travel.
  4. I mean the man tried to help and wasn't getting paid a dime for it as I understand. He did the best he could. And he did a LOT for UNT in terms of building facilities. RV took UNT places they had never been before. Why can't some of your people just let your hatred for RV go? #WITCHHUNT
  5. Yes but remember, he really covers everything not just athletics. I hope that he cares for athletics or is compensated to do so. There are a lot of departments fighting for the same money at UNT. Have been for years.
  6. What about him? Guys been here four years and never played. I think it is pretty clear.
  7. You seem like a pretty smart guy, but any UNT fan with half a brain knows that Al Hurley didn't give two 5hitz about athletics. He wanted the benefits of athletics without giving the department a dime. So yes in that respect he took money that rightfully belonged to athletics.
  8. Would be a huge pickup for us. I would argue with him he could get lost on the bench with Sampson's talent.
  9. Ain't no damn way we are 9th. We damn near won the conference last year. I am beginning to think noone outside of our fans respect the magical elf.
  10. Just take a look at the front page baby. Triangle of bullshit master himself! And why does he always have to have that stupid mouth stuff full of watermelon seeds grin?
  11. You do realize that most of the players innthe portal never find a home. He wasn’t doing them any favors.
  12. Haven't yet listened as I like to do my pods whilest I am doing my walk in the evenings, but can you let us know which QB you and @Aldo anticipate to be the starter? Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.
  13. And not even one "at the end of the day" or "all three phases"!
  14. Detailed stats from last year. https://goutsa.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/john-buggs-iii/7373
