I must have a horrible memory. Nothing about Tune really stood out to me. How much did he play while Vizza was on the sidelines? IIRC, Tune's first snap saw him run to the left and get caught behind the LOS. s l o w Not the kind of speed you want at QB in this system.

We gave them great field position, and several of their scores followed only a few plays. Basically, fewer yards to travel, less offensive snaps. We would take the kickoffs "only" far enough to have to march 70+ yards to score. following 50 - 60 yards of dink dunks and runs up the middle, we'd flop with a turnover or 3-and-out. More plays, more yards, less scoring. there's your math.

The irony of all of this is that the one consistent thing I hear about Dodge is how amazing he is at "inspirational" speaking. Maybe he lives in a van down by the river?...

*cough*Rich Rodriguez*cough* I f'n love his offense. Is he running it at Michigan? I haven't seen a Wolverine game this year.

New incentive plan: work or get fired.

I have to hope that the stadium activists are educated enough to know this isn't about how bad/good the team is right now. It is about replacing a facility that is the worst of its kind.

*ears perk*

Not agreeing or disagreeing, but why does this argument stop at the coach as if he is at the top?

well I'll be

yes

This year's squad would have definitely won a few games in the 2001 Belt.

Well hells bells we have 75 QBs. Can one of them step in Dibrell's spot?

fixed. It's okay to be addicted to nostalgia.

Nothing wrong with some Buffalo Springfield in times of war. football.

The leftover quip was alluding to the mass that blames our mess on DD's "leftovers". And here we have a thread that is defending them as bricks. It was a vague attempt to show how we like to swing arguments in a manner that is convenient for us. That's all I meant. Otherwise, I do think this is a great perspective thread. I'm of the opinion that success can be tied into character, but not be the blame for lack thereof. I think. I just make this shit up on a whim, so take it FWIW! Some of these kids are seeing adversity for the first time. I also like to think many of them were winners because at some point or another in their preps, they had to gut something through, rethink their priorities and figure out what needed to be done to win. I can't say which player is which though. Dibrell might have been tired. He may be blessed in other areas, and decided that he could enjoy life spending his time elsewhere and not in an area that is under the public eye and won't carry on to the NFL. But again, I don't know.

ah! Leftover bricks. Now I have almost read it all. Stop calling the kids out. Let them make their decisions, and don't lay on the judgment until you've met them face to face.

Not to be confused upon signing! "So if you'll please sign right on the dottooohmygosh let me just get the right one!" "30 million contract?" "Yeah sorry about that! Here's the one you need to sign. my bad."

How did season ticket sales increase upon June's arrival? If the Dodge love fest (not pointing this finger at you) is going to continue based on increased interest and fan investment, you have to hold the same candle to the Hilltop. Jones was a breathe of fresh air for them, and has already proved he could win in a university (see: college level) that is not supposed to win. Since the latest craze is watching the first 16 games, let's see how Jones does and then evaluate things.

Anonymous has every right to respond to Derrick, and seems to be very articulate. But it strikes me how much misinformation is still out there. Several things I hope you current students take to heart when discussing the vote in casual conversation/debate: Don't claim this will guarantee a better football team. That is not the point. It is part of the bigger picture: a committment to athletics and alumni interaction. A point where Anonymous is misinformed: There is proof - yes, studies have been done - that link athletic funding and commitment to educational value. Most people will understand that athletics, specifically football, are the biggest window to a university. It's also important to reiterate that this is not diverting academic funding, but increasing potential alumni interaction. Want to know why we are so freakin' huge? Why we are so successful and respected in liberal arts? It is because we offer competitive degrees at an affordable price. Why didn't UNT Music Major XX go to Julliard? Tuition! And UNT can afford better rates because we depend so heavily on state funds and public *cough*fans*cough* donations. It's not hard. If I had the opportunity to get a music degree at the level of Eastman, via UNT prices that included a 300 fee for athletics to help fund, I would say it is a steal. I find it ironic that the same people who agree that UNT Liberal Arts is such a great deal cannot understand why UNT needs to keep in touch with its alumni so badly. And how about our endowment? We trail nearly every school I can think of in that area, which can be linked directly to athletics/alumni interaction. How the hell can we be at such a sad number when we have 3,935,206,167 (I counted) students pumped into the economy!?! It's because we have given our students nothing to take ownership in when they are here that hey take with them and hold onto when they have finished. I do question - and worry - when people play the "pride" card. Bill Naysayer is going to get defensive, because you're damn right he is proud of himself and his degree. The important thing is that these people see the big picture. That UNT needs athletics and needs its students to embrace it as an enhancement to their public perception, alumni interaction, and longevity. This isn't about competing with UT on the football field. This is about competing with Texas States, Houstons, and Texas Techs for more students and long-term academic support. I am pleading every current student who has an opportunity, and those who don't to create opportunity, to get the right information out there. It is not the people that are fervently against this I am worried about: it is the misinformed. Derrick, thanks for your efforts. (Hope this post was okay and doesn't get deleted?)

oh shit my burger!

And, lets also not forget - let's not forget, Dude - that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent for, uh, domestic, you know, within the city - that isn't legal either.

Citizen's of Utah, the Coalition for the Liberation of Itinerate Tree-dwellers must not be stimulated!

Really love this image. Lets see how many threads you can work this into.

It's a bold, but necessary statement to make them realize the full implications of this stadium.
