On a scale from 1-10 with 10 being the highest. How drunk did you get watching the UNT games last season? What were you drinking and why you picked that type of beverage?

Sorry it's been a long week at work and I'm ready roll into Wine and More in Frisco.

Ben is a good study of recent alums. High on sports fresh out of college, full of dreams of what could be for UNT athletics. Several years go by and he truly learns about the program, the AD for life

North Texas fan mentality pre 2012- Remain quiet while people talk about college football. Speak up about hoops (at least we have basketball) North Texas fan mentality in 2013- Talk about college

so far the biggest take-away from this thread is that many of you need to keep better company and have better conversations.

I get drunk regardless. A hot tailgating day and and some cold beer can really sneak up on ya.

Last season- 8-10 on a drunk scale

I drink the beer. But Jello shots put the misery out quicker...

Side Note: Last year's Portland State game had me go out on 3 pints of Guinness..

I fortunately, didn't bring anybody with me to that game. I however brought a crowd to the SMU game last year... And I think that signed off a lot of them from attending a UNT game for awhile. I sat in a car driving home and had to listen to them rant about how bad that game was....yeah it's a s*** feeling for sure.

Man, that same thing has happened so many times over the years...in both football and mens hoops.

North Texas fan mentality in 2013- Talk about college football with your fellow SEC and Big 12 team fan buddies. Don't get to cocky... But your are given the right to speak highly of the Mean Green Defense when it comes down to it. Suck it TCU and Texas

North Texas fan post 2014- Just remain quiet about sports, roll your eyes when someone bad mouths UNT... But never speak up or argue about it. Walk into an establishment IN DENTON and hesitate a little to ask them to switch over from a P5 game to a UNT football game.

2016: Please lord, make Littrell the guy who gets it for us. We have been clowned 3 times now since the early 00's... Just let Littrell bring us that 2013-in-your-face feeling again!

Went to the first 2 games of the year and wised up really quick. 

 

 

*My nephew begged me to take him to the WKU game when he was in town. We went. I was embarassed even in fromt of my 9 year old nephew because of theattendance, lack of competitiveness, and at the fact that he didn't have fun. 

I watched the UTEP game but Greer forced my hand to change the channel with his spectacular 1 play. 

I suffered from severe indifference last season. It's leaked over into bball season and is still lingering.

Pretty much.

I really think Littrell will get us to that 2013 type level again in 2018.

If you felt that way with your 9-year old nephew, imagine how you would have felt with your 29-year old buddy or your 39-year old neighbor or co-worker...especially if those adults went to a P5 school somewhere. I learned a looonnng time ago that a UNT home game is best attended with fellow alums or alumni of FCS/D-2 schools. Its better with Apogee, obviously, but if you want to talk about embarrassing, imagine taking an adult that went to a P5 giant with you to watch a UNT game played at home against a SBC team played at Fouts...I did that exactly once, only to hear nothing but laughter at neighborhood parties afterwards for years, as he described going to watch us get spanked by a Florida "Airport", in front of about 6000 people, sitting on a bench seat that felt like he was a mile and a half away from the field...just a bit different from his days at Auburn.

Ben is a good study of recent alums. High on sports fresh out of college, full of dreams of what could be for UNT athletics. Several years go by and he truly learns about the program, the AD for life that has run it into the ground, the big donors that don't care and make sure the AD and his losing "vision" hang around, how others from his college years have moved on with there life and rarely mention UNT, much less UNT athletics, and starts to wonder if there are better things to do with his free time (like watching grass grow or airplanes take off). 

Slowly, Ben drifts away, letting other things in his life take priority over his UNT fandom, until one August day, he can't tell you who UNT plays for the home opener or the date of the game. And he's perfectly fine not knowing. Or caring. Ben has long ago stopped donating any money to the program, after all. 

Ben eventually becomes one of the other 70,000 DFW alumni who couldn't give a crap about UNT athletics. But hey, the 17 still have RV, losing sports, and 1k at the basketball game...

Imagine working with an Alabama alum and going through all of the 2015 season with UNT on the worst end of the FBS scale and Bama is on the best of the end of the FBS. Yes, I dealt with it everyday.... His sarcastic "I think we played y'all a few years ago, North Texas State?" as he would say to me.... Or having siblings who graduated from Arkansas... So guess who gets to talk the talk and watch the football games during the holidays? I'm right there with you Jim.... I'm a recent grad ('13) but I will still follow UNT football like the older generations on here when I get to that age.

BTW, I Lol'd at the Florida International Airport comment. I have never heard that one before... Hahaha.

My alltime favorite passive-aggressive comment about our usual suckitude in football: "Well, all I know is that if we had to play yall in a music performance, yall would kick our ass..."

Sorry it's been a long week at work and I'm ready roll into Wine and More in Frisco.

This is a very tricky question to answer.. I guess we should start with this: After we gave up 21 points in the 4th quarter to blow that game at SMOO, I gave up on the season.  I seriously did. You could tell at that point the 2015 squad had no fight.

BUT I did drink my pain away that night. 

So to answer your question, I was at a 4 during the game & a 11 afterwards.

I don't want to get off thread topic but I just wanted to add a quick nugget.

During the height of the HOD Bowl year, I was in a fraternity (yes, bring on any jokes you got) and we absolutely STRUGGLED to get people to want to come to tailgates because of the ingrained perception that UNT athletics created.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive because of the defense, that's an even bigger problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.
