8/30/o7 UNLV home L 23-16

9-08 07 L 32-18

9-15 07 OU L 54-3

9/23 07 San Jose State Home L 23-20

9-29 07 Utah L 34-18

10-6 07 Hawaii L 52-18

The head coach at Utah State was under fire before the season started for lack of offense...he hired DD to emphasize basic running offense...from earlier posts fans were already upstead about boring FB....my prediction...(Not my wish or want) Their head coach will be gone by the end of the season and DD could very likely be looking for another job when a new coach comes in. He is not the answer to our problems.

Not sure were you get anyone wants DD back. DD in effect fired himself and I am not sure NT could have ever recovered if they had let him fulfill the contract so foolishly given him.

Not sure what Utah state's season has to do with NT, but they have actually played better than NT to this point. Hawaii beat USU 52 to 37 not 18.

I wish DD the best. He is a former coach here, and as far as I'm concerned has no bearing on our current program.

he's in a terrible situation, but he's doing a decent job with what he's got. USU is scoring just under 12 ppg more than they did last year. Don't see the point of kicking a man who poured a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this thing here. It's the past. Wish him well and move on. Todd Dodge is our coach now.

note: I'm not talking to you personally, OT, just the general DD-bashing and DD-crutch excuses that seem to be prevalent here, even still.

You are correct on the Hawaii score...I evidently repeated their 18 points scored against Utah.

My wife's side of the family has deep roots in Utah (yes, they're LDS, for the most part). I wish DD and the family I've met in Logan well! We could stay busy here focusing on our own problems!

Let's please end all of the comments/discussion about DD. He was a bad fit for North Texas for more than one reason. His offensive philosophy was boring, and his attitude about the North Texas fan was terrible. He was not ever going to be someone who would make public appearances and get the fans pumped up. His attitude seemed to be that it wasn't his job to promote the program. North Texas HAS to have a promoter, otherwise we will not move forward.

Todd Dodge is, for the most part, the perfect fit for us. If Coach

Dodge wasn't here, I would strongly nominate this guy.

All DD did was piss on the fans who endured his crap for 9 years, he got a lucky recruiting class and road it to four bowls out an infant conference. He is gone Dodge is here so just let him go.

This is the biggest straw man thread of the year. Has anyone been calling for DIckey to come back? No, and just because people don't want to call Dickey the Antichrist doesn't mean we want Dickey back. Can't we just all agree that Dickey took us to places we had never been and that we are grateful for four bowl games and some of the best defense we have seen at North Texas since the Fry days...and leave it at that. Sure the last two years went down hill fast, and he developed a very negative attitude and it was time to go, but he did play a major part in where we are now. It could have been a lot worse. We could have got a coach that didn't even win the Belt and we could have dropped football altogether. We need to remember that Dickey shut the opposing forces on campus up for a while, so that we could gather some steam. When he first came to NT, the anti-athletics crowd was gaining strength on campus. Thanks to Dickey, we have something to build on.

So, let's just build. ;)

I have yet to see a single poster on this board seriously ask for Dickey back...especially when about 100% of us were glad to see him go long before we even knew who was replacing him. Dear original poster, stop tossing smokescreen threads on this board.

We don't want Dickey back. Even if for some reason Dodge somehow gives up an 0-12 season, it'd be a lot more of an exciting season than a Dickey 2-10 season. Really. Seriously. I would take a Dodge 0-12 this year than a 2-10 under Dickey. At least Dodge's losses are exciting to watch and are fast-paced.

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      Tim Pernetti's (new AAC Commissioner) remarks regarding exploring more corporate involvement seems interesting and innovative, sort of. Getting some heavy-hitter businesses on board with their big advertising/public-relations budgets. They get to splash their logos all over the AAC venues, ceremonies, uniforms, etc in exchange for some NIL type moola. I don't know, it all just feels weird and uncomfortable to this old fat guy.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      We have complained for years about being left in the dark. The Mean Green Club was promised quarterly meetings that never took place, now there is little to no coverage of the spring practices, player movement is constant so the days of watching a last second scholarship player developing in to a Hall of Fame performer are long gone ala Johnny Quinn, there is little to no fan engagement, etc... It just keeps getting worse and without a push to really involve the fans, I foresee a bleak future. They, the AD, has to create excitement around the team/program or Apogee will just become a waste of money, the new basketball arena will never happen and future adds like baseball will just be an idea that came too late. The days of the G5's are on their way out. It will be whittled down to the top 40 or 50 programs as D1. We might as well go back to our D1AA days and play at the FCS level. I am just about done with sports from a financial commitment position. The greed has ruined it for me. Their is zero loyalty towards the program by the players. It is all about them and how much money they can cram in their pockets and it appears our basketball coach encourages the lack of loyalty. I will watch on television, but that's about it, much like pro sports have become. I have no interest in attending a Cowboys' game live once the prices became ridiculous, same with the Mav's and Rangers' in that stupid new ballpark that was a waste of money. I had arrived at a point where I was only willing to invest in watching North Texas live, but the current situation has ruined that as well. The future of all of college sports is a disaster if some type of control isn't put in place. It is ridiculous and very sad. Guess I will end up spending my money on golf, fine food and drink, drugs, etc. and become a more interesting person.
