Something Bob Sturm just said that applies to GMG/UNT

Harry · April 28, 2014

Sturm and the Ticket 1310 guys were bemoaning the Stars painful loss last night and he made a point that I think applies to GMG.

He said that while he was disappointed in the loss, he was glad to see people finally cared enough to feel and voice their frustration about the loss. The past few years that really just hasn't been the case.

After the Dickey downward trend and Dodge's 4-year freefall UNT fans had become pretty apathetic. Sure, Apogee made a huge difference in morale/hope but it did not remove the fact that this was a program bearing down on close to a decade of insignificance.

So when people cast stones about some of the criticisms laid out here on GMG.com I take it with a grain of salt. Sure -- I'd love to see us go undefeated every year and receive 100% positive feedback from the fans, even though it would probably get quite boring. Winning creates interest -- big wins create more interest. I would much rather see a fan feel enough emotion to constructively criticize the program than not care enough to even waste his/her breath.

Hi... Sturm here...

I was going to reply in order to illustrate the difference between constructive criticism and bitching even when good things happen, but I don't care enough to.

You see, that's the apathy Harry was referring to.

Don't be part of the problem.

I think he was aiming to be sarcastic. But yet you could be trying to be sarcastic as well. There is so much sarcasm on this board to sometimes tell the difference.

Those who suggest sarcasm is a lost art should visit GMG.com.
