First of all...And this part is serious...Because we suck this year...Because what do we have to lose?   For the love of GOD, just have FREE parking for the last game.   There is NO reason to hold out parking by the stadium when it's 75% empty and then charge people to park at Fouts and walk over.  Fans have done enough and done their part...Give them a little reward.

I would hand out free wing zone tickets to every Denton ISD student and I would give out free GA tickets to any military member or veteran who shows the proper ID. AQt that point, all you really want is for them to buy some concessions, souvenirs, and maybe have a reason to want to come see another game in the future.

If it gets Butts-in-seats to go from 3000 to 6000, it was worth it on many levels.

Or we could give the UNT 17 and the BOR actual butt pillows and let them place them in the sections of the stadium we will be naming after each one of them very soon.

Free tickets and parking to the first 10,000 who show up. Period. Movie theaters don't make most of their money from ticket sales, they make them from the concession stands. Get people in the stadium and hope they buy enough food/drinks to make up for the ticket sales. If anything, you at least had a better showing and game-day atmosphere for the graduating seniors.

i would always make the weekend after thanksgiving an away game.  The Students are long gone!  Let someone else take the hit for that weekend.  We had 10/31 and this game and both are bad for attendance.

Big marketing push, free beer is a great idea, hand out wing zone tickets, get out in the community and let people know we are playing a game and that they can get in free!!!!!    How about a banner?

 

Honestly the main problem is scheduling and winning.   At least the scheduling thing can be fixed with just a little effort and quickly.  Halloween and weekend after thanks giving games?   Both are bad but why do we have to take it in the rear and have home games both weekends?   It's laziness in the scheduling and a blatant slap in the face to the fans.   I know....   Win and the fans come....   But at least make it easier for the fans.

Cheap tickets, buy-one-get-one-free. Start handing out free tickets to local radio stations who can give away four free tickets every other hour. Free parking. Invite every high school in Denton County to the game, to even generate interest among freshmen students who have a few years before deciding where they want to go.

Due to both teams results you could market it as a "Grateful Dead Event" just don't call it a concert.  There have to be thousands of dead heads around Denton.

Lets remember that this game is the Saturday after Thanksgiving.  You might have better luck marketing Kryptonite to Superman.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Giving these coaches 4-5 year contracts can make them complacent. It seems they may not have the urgency to get things going due to the years they have, so they always feel like they’ll get that chance once again. Terrible thing for Jared to do for an unproven coach with no HC experience. I’m not going to count his IW stint since that’s a different division all together.

      Hi!

      B.S. You don't know that. It's just a guess. My freshman year was 1961, I was the vice president of a major fraternity,and neither that or either of our opinions means jack. Historically , with some exceptions, we have had an underfunded athletic department that put out a poor product in both football and men's basketball. For some reason[ which I can't explain],even after spending 10's of millions of dollars on bricks and sticks for the football program and increasing our athletic budget by million's of dollars we still put our a poor product. It's become difficult for those of us who have financially supported UNT athletics to the best of our financial ability, for years if not decades, to continue to basically throw good money after bad. I have always said expect more or you will get less but I am turning 82 in April and just don't see any change in the results of our football program.

      Clearance Rack Baylor

      How many people still respond to this guy's tweets trying to correct him cracks me up. The bit has been going on for years. I think the guy running the account wrote a book about it. The whole schtick is that he's wrong. But SMU is Clearance Rack Baylor, so he's right about that one.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      I know this was probably because of Thanksgiving break, but looking at the stadium, you could see this big time. The screen play has its place, we use it WAAAY too much. I know it is part of Air Raid, but it only works consistently against slow, bad defenses.

      What’s up with DT Sheffield?

      I have no doubt he is gone along with half of the roster. It's just a fact of life where we are with football, and some players that know they are transferring are going to start shutting things down early (not just at UNT, but something we definitely struggle with here). Not really anything we can do about it unless we start playing big in the NIL arena.
