UAB is a CUSA West team.

I guess we'll see how attendance looks when UTSA and UTEP come to town in terms of NT fan interest then. If it's about the same, then what?

OK--that's true--I meant the other CUSA West teams

20k is decent enough if we put it in context with our last couple of seasons. Baker did a decent enough job to drive up attendance for a game that has little football fan interest.

Battle flag, recruiting, family weekend, honoring past teams and individuals.

I absolutely agree. A home game against an opponent like UAB under RV, considering the cirucmstances, would've seen less than 17k in attendance, maybe worse. Baker seems like he has a pulse on what we need to do to move upward. I'm rooting for him, just like I am for Littrell, to find success here. They are both solid guys, at least from my outside perspective.

20 k in attendance isnt great but I will take it for now. We just need to keep buzzing interest like we did with the Argyle deal.

 

In yall opinion, Do you think we will ever sell out Apogee? If so, with in what time frame?

None of the schools in Conference USA scream "football powerhouse."

I thought GA was the actual wing part of the endzone, not the lower bowl?

Pretty true/unfortunate fact that kinda supports what I was saying...

I think it's entirely possible. HOT TAKE: If our play is good, I think it could happen against Houston.

Otherwise, it'll require The Wren bringing in (sorry, this will hit some folks in the gut) someone who really matters and us having a shot at winning. Texas Tech?

Yeah, I think it will have to be a big Texas School with a huge DFW Alumni Presence like Texas, Baylor, Tech, A&M. Chances of getting a Home/Home with the bolded teams are so so slim but i think that is what it will take. A big team that will draw a huge away crowd and draw the casual UNT Alumni.

Call me Crazy but I think it would be worth a shot at trying to grab OSU or OU to do a Home/Home. They hit the DFW area hard in recruiting and it would help them with further face time. I know OU has the Red River Shoot out but one more time in DFW can only be a good thing

Have you watch them play this year?  I watched them play northern Illinois in Lincoln and they were not in the game.   They are not a good team and the coach is on the hot seat. When i was growing up i was huskers fan and I can tell you this the program is not near what it use to be.  I rather play them then OK or OSU. I ask which game would have the best chance of us winning? Nebraska beat ark state by a TD.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.

      UTSA is the only victor today. Not a good round for the American.
