Using the attendance numbers from ESPN, it looks like we've increased from 19,878/game last year to 22,362/game this year. 2,500 more fans per game is definitely something to be happy about. Now we just need to transition them into the MGC.

Homecoming was 26,108. Close. 

I personally thought the alum side looked great. I sit front row end zone, and looking up to the alum side, it looked like a full house over there. The amount of heads and just general fullness looked like something seen on TV at a big time P5 game.

A great day to celebrate for all of us who bleed Mean Green.  We never came close to having this kind of atmosphere at Fouts Field...Never!

The Wing Zone seemed almost as full as it was for Apogee's Grand Opener vs UH. It was a great night for all Mean Green'ers of every decade.  My old college roommate has now become a regular Mean Green fan (again).   He and his ex wife,  myself (and my ex) were at Fouts for Fry's debut as HFC.  We were reminiscing about that Fouts Field game last night as we seemed surrounded by Army fans in Section 208.  The Army fans were first class all the way.   Even though we've played them a bunch lately, North Texas would be foolish not to continue to schedule Army as a home and home because if we don't---we know someone up the road whose seen our turnstiles success against the Black Knights who will take it away from us and  do it themselves.  

Their dirty playing few will graduate in due time, so we shouldn't get hung up on them.   Why burn our barn down just to kill a few dirty mice?    Last night was a turnstiles money-making succe$$ for UNT.

Still....where can we find just 4,000 more fans out of 800,000 in Denton Country, 119,000 in Denton,  39,000 UNT enrollment and whatever our real DFW alumnus numbers are; that is,  4,000 additional fans to fill out Apogee at games as the one last night ?  

Large crowds at Apogee make you feel as if we are on the cusp of a true Big Time future (and who knows,  maybe in a more high profile conference). Kudos to the UNT Athletic Dept, for teaming up with Coca Cola for their Family Plan promo; 4 tickets for $60 plus food/drink percs. You can't get that kind of entertainment deal at your local movie theatre for a family of 4.

I hope we don't kick the can of a serious group promotions program to the next Athletic regime, because we need to solve this problem now.   Solving this now (or next Spring/Summer) might be very important for us to in the next NCAA Re-alignment circus & (trust me) that is going to happen. 

To get those additional 4,000 fans at Apogee, we've  still got to jump out of that damn glass jar (or coffee can) as described in the link below.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      as mentioned in another thread, three pretty easy wins last night (11/19) for Rice, Tulane and Charlotte. Evansville lost 80-30 to Ohio State. UNI won. not all, but the most interesting games coming up: tonight (11/20) - not a ton...Tulsa host UALR (who already blew out UTSA), but if Tulsa is any good should take care of. 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next) ; Oregon State host Oregon ; Houston Christian v. Rice ; ECU v. Jacksonville State (3 day tourney...would play Toledo or Stetson next) 11/22 - Utah State v. Iowa and St. Louis v. Wichita State (same venue, but not a tourney) ; McNeese v. Illinois State and UAB v. Longwood (same side of bracket) ; Temple v. Florida State ; ECU/FAU game 2 of 3 11/23 - Temple v. UMASS 11/24 - High Point v. Missouri State (3 day tourney...would play ODU or Boston College next) there will be more games 11/23 and 11/24 as some of these tournaments shake out, but definitely some interesting games starting tomorrow

      Texas Wesleyan (11/21/24)

      Texas Wesleyan is one of those athlete mill schools that take advantage of kids/parents who really want to be a college athlete. The majority of students at the school are athletes and the teams will take almost anyone to be on the roster as long as they can qualify for an overpriced college loan to afford the tuition.
