Could also be a data issue where they didn’t differentiate paid vs student ticketing up to a certain point.

I forgot the name but one of their transfers last year went to Ark State to be a WR. But I just meant I don’t see Mooney or Morris leaving bc they lost the battle. I think it’s clearly Morris’ job with Mooney the opportunity to be a future starter. I also think I misunderstood GoGreenBeans post so lol

I dont believe this will be the case. Maybe will see Earle move on after spring ball if he sees the writing on the wall. But this isn’t a Texas State situation where they have (had) 2 highly regarded QBs with one year of eligibility left.

I know everyone has a love affair for GJ Kinne but my opinion is that he’s a portal merchant that isn’t concerned with building a program. He just wants to win fast and move on.

Tony Mitchell playing for a coach with strong defensive principles would be a scary sight.

Morris lost the job because he was injured and when he was ready to return, TCU season was already lost. Morris had a better completion percentage, QB rating, yards per attempt, TD to INT ratio, rushing stats. They also weren’t winning games with Hoover either.

I think at this point you hope he’s back for the SMU game. I wonder if we try and steal the 2 roads games without Buggs as well to give him a little more rest.

Wonder if his credits will transfer

I bet his name starts with a C

Game entertainment doesn’t attract but it does retain. (Most) people don’t see a halftime show marketing and a decide to attend. But if you attend a game and the product is good and the environment is enjoyable, you tend to remember it and want to come back.

The funny part was there were some kids that were completely unbothered. They were trying to wrap the thing up and 2 kids were sitting mid court taking their sweet time tying up their shoes haha

Sidebar on the Covid thing: I’ll forever be salty that our NCAA tourney win happened in the Covid year and I feel we didn’t get to properly “experience” it the way we should have.

This is much! The game experience needs a complete overhaul. Do fun things on the Jumbotron (sing along, dancing competitions, etc), have the DJ play more relevant songs, display Jumbotron queues at APPROPRIATE times (last game they played a “get loud” clip as WE were walking out to shoot FTs. Play that when our opponent is about to shoot). Just so much that needs to be done on that side. Off court product needs to match the on court one.

Our lack of front court size won’t be an issue vs Temple. They played one big at 6’10” and no other player over 6’5”

Why didn’t he just.. go to OU last year lol unless he was trying to get that BU degree then head to Norman.

To that, I think people and the university like to throw around TOTAL student numbers when they should be focused on engaging the ON CAMPUS students first and foremost. Absolutely agree that the university should and could be doing more to get student orgs involved. BUT this game isn’t one that I want to scream about student attendance. Lets see where we’re at once the Spring semester gets going.

I don’t see Chubba as a must have, but a nice depth piece that can compete with the opportunity to surprise.

Give me Chubba just so next NFL season we may get to hear “Brock’s brother is the QB for the University of North Texas” on broadcasts all year.

Helps to be familiar with the system and being able to regularly meet with the coaches due to proximity.

What a ref show in the 2nd half. Been calling every little thing since the AScott tech.

Updating/building a venue is more than just catering to your current spectators. A more modern venue can provide a more entertaining product that entices people to return and serve as a selling point for recruits. If you go to an event and the place is electric and exciting, you have a better chance of getting those people to return.

Dude you’re such a miserable fan. Never did I say you have to be jumping up and down going crazy the whole game. But there is important game moments that happen other than just the end of the game. Go watch literally any of the top programs and see how their gameday atmosphere compares to ours. Night and day difference. 1200 students dead center court is more than enough seats for our program. Which was my point from the beginning.

Attitude like that is why the pit has no energy outside of maybe a possession or 2. If you don’t think it matters to the players energy, then I’m here to tell you it absolutely does.

Bc there they only really affect one side of the court. If in the middle, they can set the tone for the whole arena. An arena that can be very apathetic, to put it nicely. Rather a student sit there free than a donor that pays and barely manages a golf clap. Build actual suites and stick those folks there.

Sure.. let’s stick the students, usually the rowdiest group there, in a place where they offer no home court advantage. Great idea there.
