Great video! It put a big smile on my face.

Vito's Mean Green Blog link to in the first post of this thread.

There's a neat video someone uploaded on that link. It shows them walking through the tailgating and stuff in the stadium. It's five minutes long and well worth the watch.

Wow! No mention of our record the past four years? No mention of Todd Dodge? Maybe Vito had a bit to drink after the game. This actually seems kind of giddy for him.

Considering we had three freshemen starting our OL was better than I expected.

Below are is the attendance for every home game for the past four years including yearly averages. Tonight's 28,075 is about 2,500 below capacity. It is, however, the largest crowd of the past four year. If you want to remove 4K Houston fans then we would be at 24,075 which would only trail the Navy game by a couple thousand. However, if you want to play that game you should subtract more than 4k Navy fans from that game. It's a little disappointing to not sell out but we came close and considering our recent history that says something. Also, I had a lot of friend attend the game who had not been in a while. All of them are raving on Facebook about how great the stadium is and what a great time they had. I think this word of mouth will help our attendance to grow over time. At the end of the year it'll be interesting to compare our worst home attendance games with the worst games from the past few years. EDIT: In 2007 we came close to averaging 20k for the year. A horrible bad weather game (and bad season) against Western Kentucky kept us from it. I'm really wondering if we can average 20K this year. I think it will take getting on roll and good weather but it's possible. 2010 1 Rice 23,473 2 Louisiana-Lafayette 17,015 3 Arkansas St 14,589 4 Florida International 14,718 5 Troy 14,289 6 Kansas St 21,952 Average 17,673 2009 1 Ohio 16,674 2 Middle Tennessee St 22,364 3 Florida Atlantic 23,319 4 Western Kentucky 11,214 5 Louisiana-Monroe 12,167 6 Army 23,647 Average 18,231 2008 1 Tulsa 22,785 2 Florida International 16,781 3 Louisiana-Lafayette 17,106 4 Troy 18,345 5 Arkansas State 9,761 Average 16,956 2007 1 Florida Atlantic 20,479 2 Louisiana-Monroe 18,973 3 Middle Tenessee St 18,181 4 Navy 26,012 5 Western Kentucky 5,027 Average 17,734 This post has been promoted to an article

Seconded!

Houston continually had guys getting behind our secondary. Fortunately they didn't connect on a few of them. There was also that one touchdown where we didn't even cover the receiver. We got some pressure on the QB but we were always a step late from getting the sack. Our DB's did ok but had their own issues. We just need some talent upgrades.

Alabama won't be fun. Tulsa is looking really good. Indiana isn't looking good. If we can keep improving ... stay healthy ... we could go on a nice run in conference. I just really hope we don't wind up rotating quarterbacks for the next three years.

I'm anxious to hear the reviews from the guys who tailgated and were at the game.

Must be an ESPN thing.

Green Gang Blog DW: Chancellor's 334-and-counting All purpose yards have set the NT single game record, previously set by Fitzgerald at SMU.

They are raving about the atmosphere on The Hill.

Iowa State wins in OT! Congrats to all Cyclone fans! Now for North Texas to win their game.

ISU leads 17-16 after 3.

My mistake. I'm watching it on channel 642 Comcast Sportsnet.

I'm watching it on the Big 10 network. Channel 610 on Direct TV.

ISU and Iowa are tied 10-10 at the half.

You bet!

Looks awesome. NEED MORE PICTURES!!!!

Well, I figured he would be busy being part of that crowd. But it would be awesome if the AD had someone flying over to take pictures of the sold out stadium.

I really hope someone takes some pictures from the pressbox of the stadium. It would be great to have a wide view of the entire scene.

So I'm watching the quarterback of the team in white (#5) and I'm thinking he look small and unimpressive. The the red team gets the ball and their quarterback, also #5, runs for 50 yards on his first play. It's obvious McNulty is the qb of the red team. Unfortunately, after that first run all we see is him handing off and the team in white falling apart. The games goes from a 14-13 halftime score to 42-13 by the end of the quarter.

You forgot to mention uniform talk and parking talk.
