I’ll trade owners with Chicago in a heartbeat.

I am fairly certain on the west side they’ve not released all the tickets for sale. When Miami doesn’t sell 95% of their allotment, there’s going to be a huge influx of tickets. On the east side, I think you have to assume that the North Texas allotment included everything not being sold separately by the bowls in the applicable sections. Long story short I think there is still quite a ways to go before getting to a sellout.

Seems like maybe they are just as surprised by the 5 game win streak as we were.

Hasn’t JJ been back once? When one of his teams was honored. But it would be super cool to get him back coaching in an actual game.

+1 for what feels like a really old board reference.

I know that’s what it says everywhere, but I’m 90% or so sure that the capacity is actually around 18,000.

I think there’s a lot of value on taking North Texas +3.

Inside the stadium is the North Texas side!

I saw that. The caveat was “in out allotment”. The available sections suggest the tickets are in the 2 section on each side outside of the $65 midfield section (which is consistent with what others have said that talked to the ticket office). If that’s true we only sold maybe 5,000 or so tickets? Just estimating.

😂. Welcome to the board.

Wouldn’t they have 4 in and 1,995 available?

Are we sure this isn’t a @MeanGreenRoadrunnerburner account?

I’m gonna move on from the topic and skip the rest stop.

He has 26 straight winning seasons, Jonny. Has he won in the NCAA tournament? Well, no. But we can’t get carried away and discuss potentially having higher expectations can we? I say no!

Hopefully we get as much of the band there as possible and not intentionally do a small travel band.

I only know one Miami alum personally. Invited him to the game and he passed. So here’s to 1,999!

It shouldn’t surprise you. I mean, some people on this board think we should consider moving on from John Hedlund…the winningest coach in the department. Wild and crazy stuff.

Tap the brakes there, partner.

I presume the $65 seats they hope to get are ones that will ultimately be returned by Miami. This is going to be very close to a true road game for the men from Oxford.

Fun trip down memory lane. Fouts was a dump. But it was OUR dump.

It looks like we have not played a game on natural grass since the 2017 CUSA Championship game at FAU.

Have to assume they will. My biggest curiosity is where they go and whether it’s a full band. The bands at Toyota Stadium essentially sit next to each other on the “stage” in the north end. But I wonder if North Texas set aside seats on one of the sideline corners for them.

This won’t mean anything until the unsold (as applicable) portion of the allotments are returned to the bowl.

I’m sure there is a point at which whatever is being held by Miami goes back to the bowl and hopefully North Texas has a chance to sell them.

Probably comes with a pretty big pay increase. UIW darn near beat Sam Houston. You’d think Eric Morris would have been on the list to replace Seth (which is obviously not going to be needed now).
