wow.. I think FIU stopped reporting attendance too because the numbers were so low. These florida teams are not having a great season.

We know we have great attendance when the team isn't a total disaster. I'm not worried about attendance now.

Where is the South Florida marching band?

They marched home, and missed a hell of a game.

our stands may look worse next week, Liberty might think they are at home game.

Having 21-25k attendance isnt "great" considering UNT's enrollment, the population of Denton, DFW population nor the size of UNT's alumni base.

 

Especially when the stadium only seats 30k.

Might be time to pull a page from ex SMU AD Russ Pott’s promotions book.  
Kids football teams, kids soccer leagues, middle school bands, etc,etc, etc.

This doesn’t make our attendance any less embarrassing. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but don’t live in dream land. 

[Udomann]

Can we still beat ourselves up a little?

Just because we aren't the worst doesn't mean we have anything to be optimistic about. We flat out stink. Our attendance stinks. 

My fart isn't as smelly as your fart. But we still laid a stinker.

This Mountain West Conference action tonight with the Colorado State Rams vs New Mexico Lobos In Albuquerque.

No, not an excuse for UNT, either, but we also don’t have a corner of the market with low attendance with a “1 win” team & on a night when Texans are going to high school football games.

All this tells me is that bad G5 teams don’t draw flies…

Yep!
 And don’t schedule Friday night TV games in “Friday Night Lights” territory better known as Texas?

But Judy’s TV deal made that decision…maybe Facebook would’ve let us play on Saturday?

That’s right! How could we ever expect to compete for attendance against high school teams. If we have to play weekday games it should be on middle school night.

And to quote the great Gomer Pyle (with his Cary Grant impersonation):  “Judy, Judy, Judy!” (Dad joke #332)
