It depends on how miserable you want to be the next day.

Yep.   Kids don't know what 'sleeping in' means.

RV started tailgating and the MGC, as well as getting (fleecing) the UNT 17, but scheduled as if we played at Fouts still. 

On point and that scheduling was inexcusable.  Abilene Christian on the schedule really?  If you going to schedule former Southland Conference foes schedule the better ones like Sam Houston State,  McNeese State, and Stephen F. Austin.  Then at least you can have some the local alumni from those schools help your attendance figures for a typically low attendance games against a FCS school.   Also the fact there has not been any other big events there besides some high school playoff games is ridiculous.   Also if he had developed a better relationship with Denton City and County officials there we could have a bowl game there (We need better traffic flow to get that done.  That requires government help).   If Frisco can have a bowl game and a FCS championship game there is no reason Apogee couldn't.

Abilene Christian always brought a crowd in the 80’s.  They were always the biggest crowd outside of Southwest Texas state those days.  I’m fine with acu because they remind me of unt back in the day - traveled and showed up for the big games and played with a chip on their shoulder.  Check out their future schedules - New Mexico I believe Baylor and other big boys the purple wildcats are going to show up for.  They will bring a utsa utep type crowd to Denton.
