In all of our defense, it was about 90 degrees, with zero cloud coverage, and full beat down sun on the pictured side.  Most all of us, UNT and Arkansas fans were hiding in the concourse from the beating down sun.  Being that there were zero TV's and audio feeds in the concourse, I think everyone was just guessing when to come out.  Most were back out by 2 mins into the 2nd half.  Can't stress enough how hot it was with that sun.

It did really start to clear out by the beginning of the 4th.  It was pretty much a ghost town with 5 mins to go.

I too retreated to the concourse as well for a cold soda an a brief respite from the sun. It wasn't brutally hot like a few games we've hosted in Denton but there was absolutely no break from the sun and no breeze in that enclosed bowl.

Hey, smuT's in the P6 !!!

I laughed every time I saw that AAC commercial during the smuT game. You can't talk your way into being a Power conference.

Couldn’t agree more!  We were doing the same thing, trying to rehydrate and get out of the sun for halftime. The Arkansas concession stand workers opened the doors of the machines that kept the bags of ice frozen, just so people could come and put their heads inside for couple minutes. There was literally a line for these things.

Needless to say, so worth it and so glad we went. Love how they compete as one with such team chemistry. Definitely a team win! 

The MeanGreen nation should also be proud. Fans came and were LOUD!! Priceless time!

Maybe we should paint an SEC logo on the field for the next game!

      Ladies playing Memphis today

      congrats on the win yesterday. our women's program is a yo-yo. get a good coach in and as soon as she gets things turned a bit, off to another job. thats the cycle we are starting over again with this year. The Fieldhouse was opened in 1951 and was the home to the men's team until the Mid-South Coliseum opened in 1964. Believe it or not, they could cram around 5,000 people in back then. its strictly womens basketball now. they've spent a ton of Title IX matching money there making the arena and support areas top notch. the volleyball team plays in the Finch Center, which was the men's basketball practice facility built for Calipari. its been totally rebuilt for their needs. be safe today, the weather is going to suck.

      Attendance question

      We were 1-5 to end the season and lost our starting QB and best receiver for the game. NIL and Portal cost us easily 5,000 more fans.

      UNT vs Texas State BOWL GAME THREAD!!

      I don’t think it’s at all problematic that have to think the coaches were surprised that Mestemaker won the backup QB job, but thank goodness it was a meritocracy. What would I would find problematic is if Mestemaker wasn’t given the opportunity to be the backup because he is a walk-on. Regarding asking too much of him, don’t you think they based it on how he was playing? The announcers mentioned that the first 15 or so plays were scripted (in no particular order) to see how things went. When it was obvious he could handle it, they allowed him to do so. Had he struggled early, I’m sure we would have seen more of a run game. You view that as bad coaching and I view it as good coaching that allowed us to be competitive as a big underdog. I agree with everything you said about the defense being bad, going for it in 4th down, passing up field goals, etc. Those things drive me nuts, but I see it all the time in other games I watch as well. I hold him accountable as well, but I just don’t blame him for every-single-thing that goes wrong.

      On TV the Texas State fans appeared to outnumber us 2-1, 3-1.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      The Band and the Cheer staff and the Talons do not have a coordinated routine to engage the fans before or during the game. Other than the very generic "Go Mean-Green" we have no signature yell. We have no relentless signature chant, other than the very disjointed and often awkward "NORTH-TEXAS" chant. Which often ends very awkwardly. I've told this story several times in the past, so get your "roll-eyes" emojis ready. In 1990 I was invited to participate in a focus group. Dr. Peter Lane was the person leading the group, and basically, they were trying to determine if there was any interest in North Texas getting back into D-1 football, and what concerns (if any) that the group has about this prospect. The group seemed to feel that it was a good idea and so the meeting was coming to an end. At that point I asked if I could add something to the discussion. Dr. Lane reluctantly agreed. I said that when I go to North Texas games, I observe that we have a Band that shows up in the correct colored Uniform and plays their football play list along with other tunes. The cheer staff show up in their appropriately colored uniforms and proceed to do "cheer stuff".....mostly gymnastics. The football team shows up in their appropriately colored uniforms and goes about the business of trying to win a game in front of what always appears to me to be (for the most part) a somewhat disinterested and/or confused-about-their-role, crowd. I said that all of these aforementioned groups show up and meet the basic requirements of their roles and then leave. There doesn't appear that there is any connection between these groups, before, during, or after the game. I said that it looks more like a contracted event than a gathering of true fans who are celebrating our North Texas culture......whatever the hell that is. So here we are, 34 years later, and based on comments in this thread (and others) nothing has really changed since 1990. Oh, there is one change. When I visited with Dr. Cook a time or two three or four years ago, I told him that I always wondered why we didn't have a "North Texas" fanfare for the beginning of the Band's pre-game show. Like the Texas Band does. I said that surely someone in the most outstanding school of music in the southwest could come up something as relatively simple as that. Well, Dr. Cook came through for us. Thank you, Dr. Cook!
