NtDaily: Conference change a short-term fix

[James329]

"If UNT wants to move up to a conference where it can immediately contend for a conference football championship, this move will benefit the Mean Green. But if UNT is looking to move to a more competitive conference and improve the program’s reputation over time, it may be headed to the wrong place."

Someone who doesn't understand the history or perception of college athletics has no business writing that article. Such a shallow and stupid perspective.

The enemy of the week is a Phi Kappa Sigma member. Don't we have a gomeangreen.com member that is a member or alum of that frat? Something must be done! or not.

"At this point, if drawing fans, selling tickets and winning games are the short-term goals for the Mean Green, the conference move will prove beneficial, but C-USA will not bring long-term success to the program."

How on earth can this not bring long-term success to the program? Am I missing something?

Stupid people are amusing to listen too...

No, Karl just told the author that the author could be the next Boise St. of journalism.

The article misses the big picture. Yes, CUSA is having a down year and the SBC is having it's best year. The problem with that argument is we know what the SUn Belt is, we've lived it for 12 years. There's a reason CUSA has more bowls with better payouts.

The new CUSA has a huge upside. The western division is perfect for UNT, with nearly every away game closer than the nearest SBC school. Travel savings across the board, increased attendance from the other school, and playing more known schools.

From the academic perspective the author wrote about, tell me which names sound better; Rice and Tulane or Arkansas State and 'Funroe?

Staying in the Belt won't get us into the Big 12 where the author thinks we can go.

The writer is talking about the "long-term," yet bases his entire premise on what has happened in four weeks of this season?

[UNTLifer]

Only thing I can come up with is he was drunk when he wrote this.

Intentional or unintentional humor?

Question, no info.

Some truth to that. Still glad we're going.

There was an article in the NT Daily complaining about the "Were all in" phrase UNT is using. The guy was saying it can be taken this way or that way and eventually connected it to the GLBTQ community. He went on to tie it to coming out of the closet or something. I honestly couldn't believe I was reading a university paper.

When I worked at the NT Daily, I got to go cover a New Orleans Bowl.

Info, no question.

Before last year, none of these Daily kids have ever gotten to cover a UNT football team that's even been a contender. Since 2005 all they've known is crap. Next time y'all trash talk Vito, think about this clown.

4 weeks is long term to a 20 year old.

My thoughts exactly when I read it.

Because CUSA D&D program isn't very good.

What a knucklehead.
