Yes.  Seth seemed very matter of fact like it was just another day at the office.  He almost seemed upbeat?  
 

Hank was the worst though.  After Seth’s interview Hank went on about how even though it was a lost we gained a ton of respect from the AAC for how good we played against Memphis on the road. 🤮

I realize Hank is a paid employee but for goodness sakes can we please ask a hard hitting question once in awhile?  It’s as if Hank and Dave are unaware that Seth’s job is even on the line.

You know you are UNT fan when the Hank says we gain respect from a loss.  

Not sure if this was "Hanks speak" - just trying to find kind words - or if I should file this in line with SL's postgame comments and assume our department truly thinks Memphis is that far ahead of us.

This should have been winnable.

Part of Hank’s job is to make it look like the program is in good shape. It is Vito’s job to ask the tough questions which is why SL is laid back at the coach’s show with Dave and annoyed when at a PC with Vito.

Right around the 5 hr 1 minute and 30 seconds mark on the game replay on demand on the varsity app.

Summary: Defense played really well, it just came down to turnovers, we turned the ball over and execution. Still believes we can make a great run in conference we just need to clean some little things up.

Hank asked him about Aune’s two pick sixes and SL attributed them to poor execution, but says they need to put the guys in the right situation. 

In closing said we were a better football team this week than we were last week.

I think part of the receivers issues is Aune.  They don't have confidence in Aune to deliver the ball.  They don't if  theyhave jump or dive to ground.  That what was great about Fine is the receivers knew the ball would be there.

If our receivers had a confidence in the qb we would be a lot better team.

Many of Aune's incompletions were just poor throws or into very tight coverage where it was knocked away or intercepted (poor decision).  Also, poor play design or play calling contributed as the TV guys mentioned a couple times that Memphis was jumping routes after seeing same things a few times.  That falls on coaching and QB decisons = another loss to a similar level opponent.

What makes you think it is Vito's job to ask the tough questions.   

That is generally not a function of any team's beat writer.   Beat writers are not too successful when they are denied access and no one associated with the team will talk to them. 

It is Hank's very hard job to promote the team.  I bet he is secretly as fed up with the current coaching staff as most of the fans.

If Hank is still paid by UNT then he has to play cheerleader.  But Vito is not employed by the school and as a journalist he should be trying to find all the angles in a story, good or bad.   But since he doesn't ask any tough questions it must be about job security instead...and thus we are left with no real answers.

I assume you disagree with my point, as you ignored it. 

His job depends on his having access to the team.  Is that so hard to comprehend?

I might add, Vito is the only reason I subscribe to the DRC.  I don't live close and have no other reason to read the paper other than NT coverage.  Frankly, NT is lucky to have outside local coverage of any kind.

Yes, actually you can be hard to comprehend.  The attitude doesn't help either, save it for someone else! 

I don't care about your subscription or Vito's access and job security.  A journalist should report the full news, not the easy no-feelings-hurt news.

Right. I mentioned that we should run a slant and go in the 1st quarter of the game. Memphis ran one on Texada and scored. The color commentator was begging for one, or any double move. Aune had the time…usually. It was frustrating.

I save my attitude just for people like you. 

It would be helpful if you responded to the comment rather than your own agenda.

I guess you think it would help coverage if the beat writer had limited access to the program and played like he was reporting on the Ukraine war.

I responded to the comment, if you could read.  Vito is lame in his coverage and questions, period.   You are just lame in general; stick your attitude in your eye!

      Its a different story when you are comparing blue blood programs. Alabama can recruit anyone from anywhere. Memphis can't (and still won't despite a fairly impressive NIL commitment).

      UTSA absolutely does not have a better location. SA is not a great area for HS football talent and they do not have deep NIL pockets. They are maximizing their value and holding the programs to a high standard. Good for them. But if you poll the vast majority of G5 coaches/administrators on which program has a better foundation I'd argue most would lean towards UNT.

      LOL. SMU is small potatoes in why college athletics is in its current state. You really think SMU was even the most egregious cheater in the 80's halcyon days? Get real. Paying players is as old as the game itself. What has changed in the last 10-15 years is the amplification of money via social media as well as TV contracts that have ballooned raising everything from coaches salaries to facilities to yes.....NIL. Blaming SMU for anything to do with where things are headed in college athletics is beyond stupid. Everything that's being done now is being directed by the TV suits. Nothing more. Nothing less. You're letting hatred blind you.

      You're spot on. But the university has been playing into that hippy weird BS for a long time, too. And we can bring demographics into this, too. And for good or bad, I don't know; nor do I really care. But conservative white boys/men is the driving force behind the consumption of and donating base to collegiate athletics. The university goes out of its way to diversify the enrollment. Which is fine and all, but it's just another variable pulling away from athletics. And there seems to be a lot of variables, controllable and uncontrollable. Why do you think the SEC can whip whoever they want with money at a moments notice? Answer: White conservative men throwing money at their collectives and scholarship funds.

      That's like saying Alabama is still Alabama stuck in Tuscaloosa. There was and is zero value placed in the education these kids receive, the free housing, meals, tutoring, healthcare, etc... when less than 5% will earn money in professional sports once they are done in college. 99% of these young men and women should be picking a school that has the major of their choosing and that has a track record of preparing them for their life after sports. Too many people are telling these kids to get all the money they can right now with zero thought about their education and the life lessons that should be being taught at this time.
