SMU with 14,369 in attendance today. Yikes.

The number of grads in the DFW area is amazing, however I don't really see us being able to get a majority of these alums to the games. We sucked for so long and never really made an effort to get students involved, so they could really care less if we're doing good now. Just like Coach Mac is rebuilding the team, the Athletic Dept. is rebuilding the fan base and it starts with the current student body. Get them excited NOW and chances are they will come back after they graduate. Only schools like Alabama, Texas, USC, LSU, etc have die hards that will come watch a team that is 2-10. We don't have that luxury, so we have to work extra hard to not only put a good product on the field, but promote the hell out of games to get students involved week in and week out. See TCU as an example. They have had some great seasons, but not enough to quit promoting games. As soon as they start losing, fans are gone. In conclusion, the Athletic Dept. better get use to this level of promotion or we could quickly be in the place we were 2 years ago.

Thank you for supporting the Mean Green. I wasn't able to buy a shirt in person since I live in Austin, but I had a friend swing by and pick one up for me. Can't wait to wear it on Saturday! Go Mean Green

Just please wait until after next year. I want to beat UT so badly.

Haha I didn't even think of that.

Just bought 2 extra tickets for some family and friends. Simple and easy.

For anybody looking to purchase a few extra tickets on the cheap, LivingSocial just posted a deal for $10 tickets in the wing section. https://www.livingsocial.com/events/cities/20-fort-worth/912249-north-texas-mean-green-football-ticket?msdc_id=20-fort-worth

This will be my first game of the season. I'm stoked. I will be there with about 20+ of family and friends.

North Texas - 34 UTEP - 13

TEXAS!!!

That was college football history, not just North Texas history. I have never seen anything like it in all my years of watching this sport. Wow!

HELL YEAH! GO MEAN GREEN!!

A lot of providers nowadays enable you to set your DVR through a mobile app or online. At least Time Warner and AT&T do.

You guys take academics too seriously.

I just saw that post. Love it

I have a Halloween uni sitting right next to me but don't know how to post pictures. It looks sweet. Just how we all envisioned it. Go Mean Green/Black/Orange

You can't view it unless your his friend.

Exactly how much chicken does it take to get your fans to travel? Question, no info.

Just FYI....You can share the picture more than once, so go spam the crap out of your friends and family.

FWIW, I think our athletic dept. has done a pretty decent job promoting this game. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

Those are horrible uni's. Good for Houston.

I haven't been involved as a student in quite sometime, but is there some sort of "Mean Green Walk" that starts on campus and ends at the stadium? Seems like that would be a cool way to get students out of their dorms and to the game.

I really hope the students decide to show up. To me there's less excuse to not show up because it's on a weekday. Plus real Halloween parties don't start until 10 or 11PM, so that's plenty of time to go to the game and still party afterwards.

Bowl eligibility on the line and possible 4 game win streak. Any guesses? I'll say 25,000+
