Put me down for one of those if we're floating on clouds.

Back down on Earth, I'd choose something closer to oldguystudents' original list:

Nevada (or UNLV, but not both)
Tulsa
Houston
Southern Miss
Memphis
LaLa (or Tulane, but not both)
LaTech
UTEP
NMSU (risky b/c of budget, but games against them were ALWAYS great--bball & fball)
UNT

No SMU, but they should be forced to play us OOC only when we are good and they are down---you know, kinda the opposite of how it's gone historically.

If we must go to 12, then I'd include Colorado St and either TSU or UTSA.

Interest from a Missouri company has revived a dormant project to bring a hotel and conference center to the University of North Texas campus.

The university received an unsolicited proposal from the O’Reilly Hospitality Management Group and has agreed to begin negotiating a developer’s agreement, UNT spokesman Buddy Price confirmed Friday.

All About UNT
"Former University of South Carolina and Kansas City high school standout Hanna Forst has signed a North Texas scholarship and will suit up for the Mean Green volleyball team in 2012.

Forst, who piled up 116 kills and 123 digs for the Gamecocks last season, was a key part of the St. James Academy volleyball dynasty in Kansas City that culminated in a 44-1 record and the program’s third straight Kansas state 4A championship.

The 5-10 outside hitter teamed up with current North Texas setter Liz Powell and Kansas City Power Volleyball Club to win the 2009 USA Volleyball Junior Olympic Open 16 national championship."

This past football season was my first one spent actively checking in on GMG pretty much every day. I love the community here, but there was one aspect of the 2011 season that was a nad-kicking in every one of the home game discussions...attendance.

What I'm proposing is a series of topics here on what we can do to increase attendance. Forget about the would and the could and the should...we all pretty much dumped our opinions on one another enough last Fall. I know that you can't have this discussion without some opinions being involved, but what I'd like to do is try to keep it focused more on the reality that attendance isn't where we would like it to be and what realistic measures can be taken to address that issue.

I'd like to focus the discussion on three areas: steps that can be taken to increase student attendance, steps that can be taken to increase alumni attendance, and steps that can be taken to increase attendance from Denton and the nearby North Texas community (think Little Elm, Keller, Lewisville, etc.). I'd like to steer clear of the dead-end canards like "the Sun Belt sucks" and "we need to play more home/home series with Big 12 teams" and "UTSA is more baller than we are." There's nothing any of us other than RV and the university leadership can do about those things; figuring out some ideas that we could implement with whatever we have to work with is my goal.

I'll kick off the three post series tomorrow with some ideas for increasing student attendance.

Im not buying the structural innability excuse for one moment. The Super Pit's roof was more than likely over built as would be expected to hold against structural strain due to time and gravity, weather of all kinds, and it had a center board for many many years up and until a few years back. So there should be no reason it cant happen again.

And I believe all facilities fall under the same director of facilities for the university(Charles Jackson). If there's a need for improvements for the Super Pit for all uses, and there is, it can and will be done. But someone has to request for it to be done and it has to be in the budget before hand. That may have already happened? It may not?

It would be interesting to find out what, if anything is in the future budget plans?
