Only way UTEP gets a win eh, Dimel?

It's almost like they (UTEP personnel) don't understand what's going on in their own town & why NT would be apprehensive about travelling there with over 100 people.

It’s ridiculous for a lot of reasons. The idea that CUSA should give UNT a forfeit loss for not wanting to travel to a city that is pushing 100% hospital capacity being probably number 1. That’ll show everyone that we’re taking things seriously as a conference.

Dip$h!t Dimel, I'll show you a forfeit!

[Udomann]

From the schools backlash on twitter to Dimwitted Dimel (I came up with that myself!)... The school is trying hard to backtrack on their stance. All expenses paid trip to denton? I live here and I would still take the offer!

Got any evidence for this? I want to see this because I can't believe a school President down to the football coach can be so blind on what is going on in the city they live in and continue to push the narrative that this is all NT's fault. The optics on this are horrible for UTEP.

I mean, I haven't followed the career and musings of Dana Dimel all that much, but has he always been a bitch?

They're setting up hospital beds in the convention center in El Paso, and this douche wants to talk about "validity". You'll get your forfeit the same day we get ours from Texas A&M.

Dimel the douchebag is just mad he will be unemployed next year. I hope we beat their asses in December.

As much as I wanted to see this game played this weekend, I have to commend our UNT Leaders for doing the right thing.  Screw UTEP and their crybaby coach!  That said, not sure bringing them to Denton from that environment would be the smartest thing to do either.

The optics just keep getting worse for UTEP:

I think it is a big deal for somebody to visit EL Paso!

Per Football Scoop and the younger Barnett we were in contact with UTEP and CUSA in an effort to make this a mutual decision & they refused.  We offered to foot the bill for them to play here and they refused. Then they put out a PR blasting us, their President blasted us and then Dimel said we should forfeit. Their response has been ridiculous and I am embarrassed for them.

I very much forward to playing them in December or next year and showing absolutely no mercy.

Not Judy’s MO.

If Judy gets involved, the game will be rescheduled to Wednesday of Spring Break & be streamed on MySpace for a nominal fee.

Well that might be difficult when we don't have a Spring Break this year. https://www.unt.edu/catalogs/2020-21/calendar 🙂

HA! Now that is funny

Let's see if this game does happen. 

Based on the season so far... Odds are that once it's over, we'd have been happier with a forfeit than what we likely see on the field. 

I wouldn't rule out the option until we know for sure it's less embarrassing than playing them.

I’m with you. This season is such a mess, if we ultimately end up forfeiting, it won’t be what caused us to not win the west. Do whatever ensures the safety of the athletes and staff and spend this year prepping for next year.

You doubt the power of the Judy?!?  

Faster than a Sloth with Concussion!

More Powerful than a Bull in a China Shop!

Able to Negotiate Poor TV Deals at a Single Bound!

Look! In the Press Box! She’s a Bore! She’s Unremarkable!

She’s, A Bad Commissioner!
