He also had a video of the QBs in a drill. Order was Aune, Earle, Gunnell, then Ruder.

Amazing how little discussion there is on GMG about the upcoming season.

And how little excitement is being generated by the AD.

I am surprised there are no press conferences or media interviews of coaches and players during camp. The power 5 schools have daily updates from multiple reporting sources in most cases. We have some exciting storylines like the adjusted schedule, QB battle, NIL etc that would be worth diving into from the coaches and player perspective.

After following this coach for the past 7 years, I really have no interest in these so called updates.  With Mumbles there is no excitement, just "at the end of the day" and "all 4 phases".  "We are getting better every day but still have a long way to go."  Oh and "all 4 QB's are in the mix for the starting job."  Spare me!

Brune put out a podcast yesterday, but you’re right, I thought there would be a bit more buzz around the team. Maybe it’s the calm before the Mean Green Storm?  I’m looking forward to Saturday. We’ll see how well that event is attended.

Don’t forget “pulling the rope in the same direction.”

Just remember that those wins need to be against non-cupcake opponents. We recently had 9-win seasons with gawdy passing stats. Somehow that didn't seem to matter to our bowl opponents.

Probably learned from previous seasons where there was a lot of hype just for the teams to end up being duds. Keeping their cards close to the chest

So we have gone from stealth recruiting to stealth fan engagement

Not surprised of anything with this staff

Tom Trieb is going to be nasty on the defensive line 

[97and03]

I think the early start has some effect on the lack of hype. But still…

I was told he might not always have the best technique but he is in the backfield constantly.  He will produce.

At least we get press conferences during the season. The AD keeps our basketball team under wraps the whole year.

More promotional coverage would be great! I do wonder, however, if some of you are imagining NFL-like coverage of UNT from our local media.

No, but with the different social media outlets available we are doing a crap job. We need to give credit to Wren where deserved, but he also needs to be held accountable for the things done poorly. The "fan experience" does not seem to be high on his priorities.

I’d be up for more camp clips but I am a firm “hell no” on daily press conferences. Sark’s are boring as paint drying and he has a personality. Why the F would anyone want to listen to Littrell speak for 15 minutes and say nothing everyday for the next month. Forget that noise.

I see multiple posts daily from the official team accounts, include photos and videos.  I also see tons of coverage from Reed Smith, MeanGreen247, as well as Vito's usual.  I actually think Vito's been doing a ton more stuff this season because of everything that's unfolding with NIL/Portal.

I also reallyh love all the unofficial stuff you get these days, especially podcasts.  MeanGreenNation just recently released one.  We all know about the GMG.com pods.  You can also subscribe to a couple great YouTube vlogs that cover UNT sports.  Mostly football and basketball.

Personally, as it stands today, I can't keep up with everything.

Never said don't be critical of Wren.

I think you're correct.  I used to enthusiastically rush to the store to buy Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine as soon as it hit the stores.  This year, not so much.

It's like waiting for the train wreck to happen.   You know it's coming and know it will be bad, but still hope it doesn't somehow.
