Knew he felt this way and there are more coaches who do as well. Can't blame him.

They stopped making the links public after the blowback from the comments that Rick made about students and losing games in the fall of 2024.

The BOT unlists their meeting videos on YouTube pretty quickly, which might be a state law violation. If you have the link, it's a 5-hour long video of several meetings.

Thus, I made a video of just Dowell's speech to them. This was on Friday, Dec. 5, two days before the Birmingham Bowl invite.

Can someone ask them why we get less state support than most universities in the system

Perhaps we need to change our name to UNCB

DLo may need to go to Mens Warehouse and pick up a jacket to wear to the BOT meeting and bowl press conference.

I know I know in the whole scheme of things…..

But perception Carries a few points.

Jacket or not we got a good class coming in. Hopefully the evil TP will be just as good or better.

A Trustee mentioned the same.

I thought about that as well but just win though. He can wear shorts and a t-shirt if he wins.

I don't care how he dresses if we win. Don't like Bill in CH, but wouldn't mind if DLo dresses in cut off hoodies if we are winning. Just hopefully avoid dating the college age girls.

About the fashion statement? Or the TP?

All of the above and more.

Probably not a good thing to go on record voicing his dislike for the media. It may be true and evident, but don’t go on record.
Especially, for a school that has a real void in media coverage. Think of the value of all of the media reports on how special game day is at The Rock. We want the same type of reports on our program.

Distrust of the media in boardrooms is prevalent.

There’s a difference between the mass media and local reporters. Look at how good Mike Leach was with the media. It’s a chance to promote your program and your players.
