Hilarious UNT Football Social Media Gaffe

As you may know, every week, the @UNTFootball account on Twitter updates the "name" associated with it to a hashtag and the words "beat _____" (opponent's name).  So, for instance, until last Saturday it was #beatSMU.

Please tell me I'm not the only one that noticed that the current display name is Beatrice.  It would be hilarious if we were refer to the Owls as "Beatrice," but you don't want that to be your display name.  I only saw it today; otherwise, I would have spread the word sooner.  PLEASE, someone, if you know who runs it (it says it's not affiliated with the University) tell whoever is in charge to use #DefeatRice instead.  Hell, they can say #DefeatBeatrice if they want to roll with the joke and call the Owls "Beatrice."  But when that hashtag is the "name" of the UNT Football account...really, what are we, the Golden Girls?  I guess we could even go with #Beat_Rice if they don't want to alter it too much, but PLEASE, make sure everything gets changed before it's widespread enough that we're the laughingstock of the internet, like every other "hashtag gone wrong" story you've ever heard of.  It's like playing Celebrity Jeopardy, except there's no Darrell Hammond playing Sean Connery.

Reminds me of Scrubs and how Dr. Cox always refers to J.D. as girls' names.

That's PERFECT.  I was just thinking yesterday about how we haven't seen enough of John C. McGinley lately.  He is one of the few that can actually make me laugh out loud.

      You've heard of Hook 'em, Gig 'em, Wreck 'em, Sic'em, what about...

      I remember that! I still say “Scrap ‘Em”. I thought it has always been a thing.

      Morris signals it is over

      You know it’s not just the Portal and NIL. I have never seen the traffic on gmg so anemic and I’ve been coming here since the 1990’s. Now, not to say the Portal and NIL haven’t had a huge negative impact but when you add the turmoil and uncertainty with what’s happening in our nation and around the world it’s forcing many to adjust their priorities. With that being said, maybe, just maybe people will turn out in masses on Saturdays if for no other reason than to just seek some kind of normalcy, an attempt to try and convince oneself that all is ok, nothing’s changed…..see the band is playing, the fans are cheering as the players take the field.

      Unfortunately this comment by the head coach at UNT is going to appear defeatist and will do nothing to motivate students, fans or players. Wish it had been some other school’s head coach. Awful publicity for UNT.

      Morris didn't say anything that most of us haven't already said or felt. Quite frankly, what he said has been true for a lot longer than many of us want to admit. Our lack of commitment to athletics (whether you want to blame it on administration, students, alumni, or realistically all of the above) has set us back and has been an issue for years. It still hasn't changed, and it's going to continue to come back to bite us for years to come. There has to be a clear divide at some point, even though I would argue there's been a fuzzy divide for a long time. It's just a matter of time at this point that it becomes crystal clear. We are not going to be in the top tier of that divide. Our stakeholders (I use this broadly and there are clear exceptions) have made that choice over however many years now. It's just going to finally come to a head.

      If the basis for this is simply "not Power conference", then sure. The scholarship allotments suggest difference is level of play, though. I know NIL has negated a lot of that at the current P5/G5 level, but I would think that once you get past a certain point, outside the bubble of the P4, the impact of NIL could be watered down and you will still see scholarship limits play into the level of competition in front of you.
