IF we beat Liberty and our team continues to play like they have played the first three weeks, and IF the weather cooperates...might we see the first true sellout of Apogee when La Tech comes to town?

Probably not. Part of an "almost" sellout against SM-who was because the SMUT fans can travel. La Tech, will too, but not nearly as much.

LA Tech travels just about as well as SMU, which is sad (for SMU) given the two school's proximity to UNT. So yes, I say, given a win next week, I would expect a very high attendance, perhaps a sell out.

SMU doesn't travel for shit, even 20 miles away. LaTech travels better and has a better fanbase even though they are further away. Plus they are cool fans. That's a much better opponent fan section in every way.

It's the conference opener.  LaTech has great fans and will bring a lot more than SMU did.  So, I think we'll have a great crowd.  However, there are other things to worry about.  Road wins are alway hard to come by, let's take care of Liberty first.

I do think if we are still undefeated going into the next home game and the weather is good, it may very well be the first sell out and maybe even all seats full.

True.   SMU fans CAN travel, but they don't. For a school 40 miles away, they don't bring nearly the amount we send to them when playing in Dallas. 

LaTech actually travels well.  They have a better fan base, and because it’s only 3 hours, usually bring their band.

Is it too soon to start thinking about this game?  I know we have to handle Liberty but assuming Littrell keeps the guys focused we’ll be looking at a huge matchup against maybe the only team in the west that has a shot.

LaTech typically brings a decent crowd.  We’ll have MEGA momentum with a potential 4-0 record, plus breaking ground on the new indoor practice facility AND the Mean Joe statue unveiling.  

Do the students come out in big numbers?  Do the alumni?  Unless the weather is crap, I can’t IMAGINE it not selling out.  I’ve got plans that day and I’m already trying to figure out how to get out of them so I can go.

Is this the first sellout?

I think so.  Plus it’s family weekend. I don’t remember  the dealbut  don’t the students get two extra free tickets or something? It’s going to be packed.  Bank on it.

May have been better if the Arky win led into the home game, but I don't wanna make excuses for anybody. I want the people to show up and I want the Green to win!

 I sincerely believe if we take care of Liberty and roll in at 4-0, it’ll be 105% capacity. Have to advertise the hell out of it.

First off, yes, it's too early to think about La Tech.  Focus on Liberty.  They are going through tough times right now and had their game cancelled, so they got to watch the game and will have prepared for us for more than a week.  This game still scares me a bit.

That being said, if we win next week, then I think we will sell out.

I really hope UNT is focusing on a marketing blitz right now on ALL social media to get La Tech packed.  And not just the UNT community, this is perfect opportunity to really bridge the gap that always seems to be floating around between UNT and City of Denton.   Seems to me that if Denton would really get behind UNT, be supportive, then it's a win-win for them. Many fans meandering around town are going to throw money at local businesses. 

Denton, help us help you!!  

A. Get the shuttle thing figured out, NOW!  Add more busses, stretch them out so there's a continuous flow coming and going.  

B. Don't wait for UNT to color the town GREEN on homecoming.  Throw some on Denton's own dollars into banners for downtown, banners from light poles, etc  

C. Encourage business owners on the square to wear Green on Fridays (just like the students...) and Saturdays. Offer a slight discount to any customer wearing Mean Green anything on game days.  

The wrestling event after the game at SMU was a huge hit.  I wouldn't have guessed it, but I was proven wrong.  It's going to nicer weather that week, likely cool comfortable evening.  Good opportunity for a fireworks show. Start advertising it now and it'll help get families out there.

I don't know about a sell out, but it will be well attended if the weather is good.  A little help from the local media would be beneficial.

@UNTflyer good to see you on the board!

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
