If a slew of other universities can be wildly unrealistic, I think UNT can be too.

1. First off, you clearly don't understand the definition of irony. That's okay, many people think Alanis Morrissette's version of irony is the definition. I would hate to bring you down a notch, but

I'm sorry, I don't see why we're getting a lecture from a Fun Belt Arky State fan.

Awe, you still mad I ripped on Keller three years ago? Grow up.

I don't get into down or up votes, since it really doesn't matter...you know, since it's a website and all...otherwise, it'd be "kinda pathetic" to even care about what others think of your opinions.

You telling someone to grow up is just a tad ironic...Ill let you figure out why, although I'm not gonna peg critical thinking as a real strong suit of yours.

2. I do have a masters. Congrats on your business undergrad. Bet you got a fulfilling, nice and happy 9 to 5 office job. That's why, at 40, you're on here making snarky comments based off of a post from three years ago.

Have a great life, buddy. You're back on the ignore list.

Seriously though, I think the state of our athletics is becoming better with all of the changes that have been made, but we really have to prove something on the field before we say, "Yeah! We hired a new staff, we can compete with UT, Tech, Baylor, etc."

On the other hand, I say give it a shot, what's the worse that can happen, as mentioned before, we get our name out there and they say no.

Yes, the initial beatings would be thorough and decisive, however simply being in the conference would make us a far more attractive destination for top local talent.  Yes, I will acquiest that Baylor, being in the Big 12, did not help it.  But, what we do offer beyond Baylor (and it's not being the FBS equivalent of Mos Eisley as a haven of all the villainy of the college football galaxy) is a legitimate collegiate experience, something that had hindered Baylor in the years prior to the coach who's name escapes me time current.  So, the improvement that would be made would be quick.  I think what would ultimately hinder us is the fact that we would not be able to upgrade our facilities to meet the minimum stadium capacity- almost exclusively due to resistance from the "alternative" student population that would protest.  You know, the ones that make our school look like the real life version of PCU (which is a great movie if you haven't seen it."

The up down vote thing is the dumbest thing ever included on this website.

Have confidence in your opinions. Disagree without name calling or being an ass, something foreign to our younger posters and some of our older ones. Argue your points on the issue. Don't name call. It only makes you look like you are desperate and unable to get the better of the argument. 

Basically, be an adult.

Don't name call, eh? You might want to take your own advice.

I only defend myself, and even then with amusement. I realize the internet isn't real life. Maybe you should, also.

I mean, I figured a young guy with a masters would have already come to that conclusion. 

It always amuses me the tough guy roles people play on the Internet, down to challenging another Mean Green fan to "meet me in the parking lot" when EVERYONE knows that meeting would never occur, and if it did it would be 2 guys apologizing to each other over a beer. Because personal interaction is WAY different than Internet message board Bulsh.

I get that.

You should try.

That would be your response. Sadly, discussion with you has devolved into you name calling and me responding. I'm going to try and be better and just let you show your true colors more. 

Most likely this occurred because you resent the way I went after RV, who you supported for the longest time before being drug, kicking and screaming (literally screaming) into reality. 

I get it. It's kill the messenger. I really wish you could set this aside, but considering a good percentage of your posts are aimed at me and very hateful, I doubt this happens in the near future. 

It really does amaze me that some of you don't realize what happened from Portland St to RV's firing in regards to my persona on this web site. It shocks me even more that some of you continue to have MINIMAL expectations long term for UNT athletics and that makes me wonder if UNT will ever be anything more than the joke of Texas FBS athletic programs. 

It's a new day. Expect Wren Baker to act like a real FBS AD. I do.

Expect UNT to step it up athletically. I do. 

And for God's sake, stop whining about people who disagree with you. Challenge them on the merits  of their opinions.

You worked for the RV athletic department...I think that pretty much tells everyone all they need to know about you.

You take this message board very seriously...that's ALWAYS a great sign of maturity and achievement.

I'm sure your life is just full of kick-ass activities, Snowflake...

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      The bats have definitely been the biggest disappointment the past two years. The run support simply hasn't been there enough. Now, I'm still optimistic for the tournament. Last year we won three straight to make it to the title game. But that double bye would have been nice especially if we only have two reliable pitchers right now.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      You can rebuild a college basketball rotation to contend at a high level in one year. That is just 8-9 players. And if you get lucky with 2-3 absolute monsters, you can make a run in any given season. Of course, then those 2-3 monsters will get poached by deeper pockets and you will have to start all over again. But still, it is possible. But we can’t rebuild a college football two-deep in one year. That’s almost 50 players that we need to compete at a high level. And as has been demonstrated, any time we get football players who have any kind of success in the NIL era, they are gone quicker than you can say “Chandler Rogers”. Another reason it is easier for us to compete in the NIL era in basketball is because that sport is dominated by guards. There are LOTS of talented guards available in college basketball and some of the very best can fall through the cracks and land with us for atleast a season. And while many people would say that college football is dominated by quarterbacks (and that position is VERY important)… what really separates the elite college football programs from everyone else are the defensive linemen. The supply of 18-24 year-old humans who weigh 300 pounds with the strength to take on multiple blockers while also having the speed to run down a quarterback is no where near the demand. And these defensive linemen usually take a while to develop. But anytime a defensive linemen shows a hint of promise, he gets funneled to the highest bidder and that won’t be us. Which means we will never be able to compete with the SEC or Big 10 in football.
