So, already we have folks on this board predicting "all losses" in our OCC games for next season. WOW! Hard to believe folks have that much "negativity" going on in their lives...sorry, but this is no time to be so darn negative. WHY? Why do folks continue to see only negative in things? I really question that attitude, and I do believe it is one of the reasons UNT gets such little "respect" within its alumni base when compared to otjher universities of comparable size and status. Folks, it's time to stop all the negative crap and see if we can't come together as a MEAN GREEN NATION and try to pump some positive attitude into this program from it's fan base. If I were a member of the athletic dept. or the team, I would really start to question if the "fan base" is at all behind the program.

Come on...I am not sticking my head in the sand regarding all the challenes the program faces, nor am I always drinking the kool-aid, as it were, but, it is a good bit more fun to find some positive to look at going forward...such as:

New Stadium Program

A bunch of young players with one more year of experience

A Coach who is working hard to improve the program

An AD who have proven that he will deliver on promises made

A growing...yes growing...fan base

Increased media exposure

The knowledge that things need to change to get better...and the willingness to do something about it...yes, I do think that is true...

A schedule that is less and less full of early season "money games"

ETC., ETC.

See you at the game today! GO MEAN GREEN!!!!

So by "all losses" you mean, 'all wins?' And by "negativity" you mean 'positive?' and by you are using "respect" as a euphemism for what, exactly?

Translation: quotation marks aren't used for emphasis by people who know what they are doing. The "blog" of.. .quotation marks.

A-hole-ness aside,

Here is what I think.

CliffNotes version: 2009 depends on this offseason, and we should take full advantage of the time we have.

Call it being negative, but most of us are just calling what we see. And we haven't seen much in the way of improvement, with the exception of occasional glimpses of DeLoach's influence.

A bunch of young players with one more year of experience that have not shown me anything to believe we can win consistently (God bless them, I hope they change that)

A Coach who is working hard to improve the program that didn't show much in the way of improvement his second go round

An AD who have proven that he will deliver on promises made. he can't promise wins, can he?

A growing...yes growing...fan base. pretty much not related to on-the-field woes

Increased media exposure. ditto above

The knowledge that things need to change to get better...and the willingness to do something about it...yes, I do think that is true...I saw a TE YAY

A schedule that is less and less full of early season "money games". How about 4 rematches with WK?

You have been watching a different team I suppose. But in all reality, if watching this team this season is minute improvement from game 1 to game 12, then I suppose we could go 1-11, 2-10 every year and you would think things were fine. Call me negative all you want, but this team regressed from year 1 to year 2 so much that on the road against two undefeateds (at this point) don't give me much hope.

      Kailey Gamble Wraps Up a Great Career

      Gamble would have been a hot commodity on the transfer market throughout her time at UNT but was never tempted to leave. “Coach DeLong and my teammates are what kept me here,” Gamble said. “He had faith in me for a long time. I can do just as much here as I could at a Power Five.” She’s done plenty already. https://dentonrc.com/unt-coach-rodney-delong-believed-in-kailey-gamble-setting-her-on-course-for-legendary-career/article_2f56bfad-0fcb-5174-ae8e-36837f70ea06.html (This is the newsletter from the DRC. It is free for those that sign up.) The quote above is why I love this team. She isn't the only one that could have left. These young ladies have represented our university so well, have fun playing the game and are a joy to watch. Hope they sweep Charlotte and make a run through the AAC Tournament.

      UNT Day Of Giving Is Today

      In theory, you are probably right. However, the mass email/twitter communication is not going to get it done. If they wanted to do this, they need to spend some money and create a UNT Teacher Day of Giving - Annual Reunion. Bring every single possible teacher that can make it to DATCU, cater to them with food and guests, and convince them that giving back is the only way to propel our university forward and see how many wallets they can open up. Market the event appropriately with a runway of at least 2 or 3 months. But this just arbitrary giving day with lazy and cheap marketing will most often times fall on deaf ears. But, hey, it's the UNT way.

      UNT Day Of Giving Is Today

      I've always said if UNT Athletics could get an annual $25.00 donation from every living Teacher with a UNT Education Degree (I'm looking at all the teachers out there), Graduate or Postgraduate, Athletics would never have a shortage of money.

      Final Pac 12 Settlement

      Is there a place to sign up for this? I know talks have went soft on alignment, etc. However, there is no greater time for UNT to be positioning themselves while it's not a national media event. UNT must be doing everything in its power to align itself with the best possible peer group it can snab. The ONLY thing about it I would dislike is getting away from the service academies, but they can always be on the non-con here and there. Outside of that, this would be a really good position for UNT to be in.
