Simply amazing isnt it? That these programs get home games with P5 schools. Im fine with a 2 and 1 just as long as you get a known school in here that will draw a crowd

Makes a man feel good to be outnumbered in his own stadium. That is why the Aggies used to call Baylor's old stadium "Kyle Field North". No thanks.

Just think how SMU is going to feel in a week

Makes him feel even better, when he brings in someone who won't contribute to attendance. Yeah, lets not make a Texas P5 invade our stadium. But let's bring in someone who can fill in 10-11k of the seats.

(I guess I can say RV had the right mind set with SMU, problem is.... SMU sucks at bringing fans....)

A lot of SMU fans had a sense of despair under June Jones.  He won initially but his act got old and tiresome the longer he was there.

I can envision better SMU crowds under Morris.  Especially once they start winning consistently.

Good point... Will SMU match what UNT should bring to their stadium though? If so, that will be a good home game next year!

I think it depends on how they fair against Baylor.  If they play like UTSA did against Arizona then yes!

SMU is a small private that has trouble brining their own fans to home games, even when June was shiny and new and taking them to bowl games.

 

SMU's ceiling for their fans at Appogee is around 750. 

 

Wait, watch and see next season.

We should be playing AAC, MWC, MAC, SBC teams that have alumni in DFW area at Apogee. I can even understand ACU who will bring about 3,500, but why not SFA, TXST@SM, LAMAR--- not Liberty, Incarnate Word, Tx Southern, and certainly no SLC! I too do not want to become DKR Memorial North, Kyle Field North, or Gaylord Family Stadium South ( OU for those who may be clueless) AD  can schedule these on 2 for 1 but have the sense to play those type games in Dallas. Third week of State Fair in Cotton Bowl is a natural for this that City of Dallas would embrace, but that would make too much sense to ever happen!!!

True, but the difference in basketball attendance now at Moody is like night and day. On the other hand a lot of those in attendance at those games appear to be local Dallas basketball fans rather than alums. Wish we could get Denton locals to do likewise if we ever have a quality hoops team again.

      UTSA Game Uniforms

      I don't think Hayden did this. Perhaps you could provide some reference as I can't recall the term "mean green " applying to our team as a whole until the 2000's. Yes the eagle is our mascot and mean green is the nickname of our team. Also I believe Jim Hobney [sic] was also involved in the creation of the flying worm bet can't exactly remember how. Maybe you know.

      This is a big game for Elf

      I agree with most all you say, but I don't think Coach has his team here yet. Everything is not yet fixed (ie defense). If he can elevate the Defensive play (ie new DC and bigger, better players) to match the Offense, then we will have something! Sorry, we are still a work in progress!

      McNeese road trip?

      Must have some closet McNeese fans on board here.

      This is a big game for Elf

      We have lost 4 of the last 5 against this program, 5-7 overall. UTSA has been playing FBS football since 2012. Since 2013, we have been in a conference with them. Through last season, they are 72-65. They've won 2 conference titles and have gone 1-4 in bowl games, while also being ranked. They've had three coaches. In the same category above, we are 63-71. No conference championships and have gone 1-6 in bowl games. We have had 4 head coaches. If we lose to them tonight, Morris will basically tell us that he just isn't going to be able to lift this program higher than it was when he took it over. UTSA in 2024 is not good. They're 4-5, with wins over Kennesaw State, Houston Christian, FAU, and (somehow) Memphis. Not counting having to sacrifice themselves to UT-Daddy, they've lost 4 games against peer programs, Texas State, ECU, Rice, and Tulsa. Maybe I'm wrong, but we should beat these guys, even on the road at a place that has been a house of horrors for us, if we have the right coach leading us. This is one of those games that will tell us in our hearts if we have someone worth a damn as the head coach or if he's no different than everyone else we always hire here.
