“Decent” on the press box side.  Embarrassing on the sunny side.

Those were taken in the second half or towards the end. The student side was better towards the beginning but still sparse.  I think some students left and the others filtered over to see their parents in the second half.  The press box side was pretty solid. I'd say 12k ish.

The first was at the beginning of half time.   It was bad.

That side was much more full before half time. That’s a poor photo. It was a decent crowd on that side to start.

We use a system recognized by the NCAA to count fans. It is not based on butts in seats and never has been. Almost no schools use butts in seats, they use the NCAA system. 

I figure it’s always been on tickets sold. Students can claim a ticket and never show just like season tickets holders or someone who purchased in advance can. We knew many people who couldn’t make the game so their seats were empty but they had tickets so they were counted. Honesty that’s 💲 so it should.

Well, we know the AD is gonna fluff. All athletic departments do this. 

We know the attendance is going to be bad. 

Win the next 3 and the Nov 5 game will have a true 20k+ in attendance. Otherwise, keep fluffin.

They are going to milk the crap out of this CUSA win streak.  Perfect fluff.

Most schools report highly exaggerated  attendance numbers unless they really do have good crowds.

Surely anyone that ever goes to these games, knows that.  They report a number that they think they can get by with, there are no NCAA standards as far as I know about what is acceptable related to attendance counts. 

There are also announced numbers ( what we are discussing) versus what they actually report to the NCAA.

85 degrees.  You would think it was 100+ with the bitching about the sun.  Maybe we should just schedule all of our games at 8pm.

We were on the alumni side and it was hot when the sun was on our back. I was grateful when the shade kicked in. It’s a poor excuse, sure.

Hear me out....

Counter the sun/leaving with drink specials 🤣🍹🍺

50 Cent well drinks (Dollar doubles) were very much en vogue most nights on Fry Street (Weekend were 5-7pm or 7-9pm depending on the bar) when I was in school.

Pick a game when attendance is expected to be low, make it a "Fry Street Theme Night" and offer up 50 Cent well drinks (Dollar Doubles) only beginning when the game starts and ending after the third quarter, throw some Jell-0 shots in there for a buck or two, $1 PBR (I think Lucky Lou's had that one night a week).

Keep it on the student side of the Stadium and the upper part of the wing so the family vibe on the shaded side can co-exist.  

You may not make a killing but it would be a rocking crowd!

It's fun to criticize our attendance but I believe that we are reporting the count accurately.  I don't know what's officially legal but I'd guess it's the scanned attendance plus the tickets sold but did not show.   It's probably ditto for SMU too because I'm sure that SMU sells more tickets than is used.  

Having said that I was very disappointed in the student turnout.  We have 40,000+students.  If we could get half of them there we'd be near a sellout every game.  It's the one thing that I would like to see worked on for next year.  I believe that it was Tony that suggested a three-day "boot camp" at pre-registration time.  Attendance everywhere is down a little mostly because of the Covid epidemic.  But a new conference with eight new teams should inspire us to see if football is better.  We will see some familiar names that we haven't played in a while and one (Temple) that we have never played.  I look forward to the return of Tulsa. Tulane, Memphis, Navy, East Carolina, South Florida and the continuation of SMU on our schedule.  We will also add Wichita State for all other sports except football.  Many of them have never played at Apogee.  The good Lord willing, I will attend all of the home games next year.

The thing is, our students can't even chant right or yell on defense. As much as we all know the AAC offers better quality opponents, I don't think a noticable extra amount of students will show up outside the SMU or Navy (military family) games. Maybe students from Memphis, NOLA, Tulsa, etc. will show up to those games against their hometown teams, but they may take a passive approach to yelling for the Green.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Ummm where did you see that UNT's endowment is that high? Also, I doubt we could have hired Sanders. If you're interested in that kind of a gamble, would you be interested in Jason Witten who appears to be following the Sanders path? We could be his Jackson State.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.
