[Chat tonight?]

I cannot believe you morons are bitching about uniforms. Who gives a rats ass about what our team wears...We played like crap again....Dickey is on his way out like the majotity of us want....but you all who are making a mountain out of a fucking mole-hill about wearing all black need to re-evaluate yourselves.

Honestly!!!

If you really think that the uniform makes the team, you don't know shit abut football....

If DD wants to go out Johnny Cash style...screw it...let him we have won 3 fucking games this year....he probably feels like he got shafted after a great run of success....and if any of you want to criticize 4 conf titles and Bowls go ahead...but look around you....this is NT, we never had it so good before DD....

If you want to be a real asshole and say he shouldn't get on the bus to Monroe, then you need to kiss your own ass....

His players were probably on board with wearing black, they have their coaches back, which is more that I can say about the group of morons who bitch about Laundry....

Very dissapointed in all of you....and piss off....Focus on important things like moving forward instead of wallowing in your own petty-ass gripes...

I raise my Talon in one hand and my middle finger to the rest of you Idiots that can't look at the Big Picture....

The stupidity on this stupid forum is amazing at times...

[Baylor 10 Texas 0]

I believe that Long Jim replied to my idea of the spread offense with....

"Not trying to beat UT's drum, but if you have some time this weekend to catch the Baylor/Texas game, take a look at the defenses that will be run to try to stop Baylor's spread attack. It will give a good idea of how the spread offense fares when facing better athletes. It will be an interesting game from that standpoint."

Right now its the beginning of the 2nd quarter and the Bears lead it 10-0...Now I know that Texas will probably come back and win handily, but I know as a UNT alumn I would be happy as hell if the spread offense produced a 10-0 lead in Austin....

Don't underrate the spread my friend.

[Offensive Question]

I think the Keith Whitmire article in the DMN is right on....

To those who question NT going to this offense has good counterpoints, but when you are not able to recruit the skill of a Texas, or OU you need to have something that is appealing...

To expect kids to be completely on board with a traditional offense( ala 90's Cowboys) is somewhat unrealistic these days, especially when they know they would be going to a place where there is less talent than most Big 12 schools....they would expect getting pounded and expereicing a lot of 3 and outs (sound familiar??)

You could cause some problems with this offense, maybe gain some talent to run it,, maybe win some OOC games with it...which would help recruiting. Once you have things up and flying and gain better talent you can always mold the offense into a more of a traditional look, all while being known as a team that likes to air it out...many teams have done this...it could work here if we committed to it.

I am glad this whole post is getting some thought out responses that hinges around football, instead of bitching about what we don't have...its always better to think about solutions and discuss them rationally, instead of bitching about existing problems.

[Offensive Question]

Here is a serious question....although at this point it is a hypothetical one.

Say DD is gone one day, Ramon too...don't think about the talent we have on the team right now....

How would you all feel about oe day the Mean Green running the spread offense???

I know it would make us look like a copy-cat (ala Baylor), but imagine....

1-How much fun it would be to watch.

2-How much easier it would be to recruit skill players.

3-How much tougher it would be to defend it, rather than simply putting 8 in the box.

...alright folks fire away...this is something that I think could save the program one day...what do you all have to say about this?

[Screw]

I am very proud to have attained a quality education at good ol' UNT, but damn it.

Q. How on earth can a school that is smack dab in the middle of the biggest football hotbed in the entire country not have better players coming into the program by default?

A. The coaches, ath. dept. and the admins of our school go by the book and are so scared of screwing up with the NCAA.

Sure some underhanded stuff that big schools get away with is wrong, but they win on Saturday and make those alums proud. I want that and I don't care how it comes to be. Its time for us to sack up and start making the effort to bring in some real talent. I understand its hard to do with shallow pockets, but something could be done on that front. Academically its not hard to get into the school, so crap recruiting classes are a ridiculous thing that many of us continue to tolerate.

Q. How can one of, if not THE best Broadcasting school in the great state not have any sort of television package in the DFW market which is a top 8 media market??

A. The powers that be are trying to lure in apathetic fans into a terrible facility instead of gaining a widespread interest in their product.

How about RV and others not try to sell tailgaiting and maybe work on giving the 30 thousand plus students that attend NT a reason to tune in whether it be in person or on the TV. Exposure is expose no matter how it comes. This is still a big commuter school so those students are not always around on a Saturday. And how about getting some day games at Fouts...for goodness sake we have stuff to do in the Metroplex on a Saturday night. More people will come when they can still have a full weekend instead of having Saturday being centered around a failed event at 6 o'clock.

These are just a few things that bother me among many...I don't want to sound like a forum blow hard, but after a 35-0 shalacking to the hands of a team we have owned the past 5 years is a bummer. I love my mean green, but its turned into something I can't beat my chest over.

Go ahead and criticize some of these Ideas as you guys always do, and give a list of "ifs" and "yeah, buts" (a mind set that has put our program in its current state)....but until the program starts walking around like we have something of consequence between our legs, we will keep getting hammered by the other bottom feeders...yeah I said it.
