They are still in the "I care" mode about their basketball program. 

Probably about a year away from just accepting their university doesn't care about basketball. 

You know, where we were about 2 years ago before everyone just stopped caring...

The size of that crowd agrees.

Looks like what I assume the Superpit looks like these days. 

 That tweeted photo appears to be when they played Northwestern State.

are they having a bad start? Yes

are they meeting expectations? No

does the AD care? Ruling on the field is YES. after further review, not enough evidence to overturn.

They averaged 8k last season. Look elsewhere, look long and hard, if you want to find a parallel to the absolute train wreck that's been running for 3 years in Denton. Personally, I think Benford is the worst coaching hire/situation I've ever witnessed as a college sports fan. Light years worse than anything in El Paso.

On this we absolutely agree.

#ThanksRV would look directly into your eyes and say that he still maintains the thought that Tony Benford is a good coach and was a quality hire. Much like he did with McCarney.

      Ranting about the AD, Students, Attendance and Fan Support

      It's a real problem that needs real solutions. All we can do as alum to fix this awful attendance issue is just bitch and moan. But it's a serious problem that I feel didn't have to happen and could be resolved.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      Um, who's "you"? Do you mean UNT beat UH in basketball? Or, finding this guy in the parking lot of a tourney game? If the former, let's not get carried away. If the latter, God Speed.

      Ranting about the AD, Students, Attendance and Fan Support

      I feel this needed it's own thread instead of intermixed on the FAU game thread and other threads... ........................................................................................................................................... I agree it all starts at the top for Athletics...as in AD and President of the University. I am on my 9th AD and 10th President by my count. Money is the u$ual determining and motivating factor for getting more out of our AD department. More students/fans > more tickets/donations/revenue > more facilities/staff > creates more interest > creates more fans ............................. Beyond other factors, I judge an AD's success by communication, and attendance in football and men's basketball. This is weighted by era, conference, and facilities. I would give Wren a C and Jared a D to date. The AD must do a much better job of spurring the students, alums, and locals. Find out why they don't come and fix it!! When they do come, the entertainment and production is not keeping them engaged. It all needs fixed!

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      Us vs. Memphis in the final would be the best chance Dickies has of looking respectable before the conference tourney gets moved somewhere else.
