Haha same as when Fine was here but you aren’t worried about an injury with Aune, some on here would be happy about an injured Aune.

I took this statement as tongue in cheek, but some members of the “Bench Aune” fan club would most definitely welcome a minor injury so that someone else could get a chance.  Maybe not today, but three weeks ago you would have.

So you are telling me the Mean and Green board crowd would be upset if Aune pulled a hamstring? Get real. They’d be pumped.

What does he have to do with this game? He was a player here and left our team. He had his reasons and did what was best for himself, but this isn't a place to discuss old players.

It's still maddening that Litrell won't let another QB throw. I get Earle is there to run, but when things get long they throw Aune back in there? Let him throw, or put any of the other QBs in if Earle is only ever going to run it.

He did this with Mason and we see how that turned out...

Given the moderate success and it being homecoming, that was pitiful attendance. Team looked good, FIU is terrible. 

It's obvious though, the casuals are not coming back with Seth Littrell at the helm.

I know bringing up downvotes creates more downvotes, but we think casuals are showing up and people are excited about UNT football? You got that feeling today?

It was a great day. Great UNT win, with great weather. Just a perfect fall afternoon. Plus, we now stand on the edge of an all-Texas C-USA title game between two programs that are both leaving for the American. And, I really want some revenge against UTSA.

I think sometimes the downvotes are for the Debbie Downer posts, not disagreements.

Also, I think you're probably right about this season, barring some miraculous/genius marketing campaign from our leadership (campus and/or city.  or - gasp - both)

That deserved downvotes.  Casuals aren't not coming back to see a one game over 0.500 Mean Green Team unless Baylor, Texas Tech, OSU, TCU or Houston (only mentioning regional P5 teams we have a shot to get into Apogee) no matter the 6 year tenured coach.   Run off the first of next season 7-0 Apogee will be pack even with coach mumbles Jason Garrett on the sidelines.  40 years of mediocrity keeps causals on a day like today at home or outside of Apogee.  The ONLY cure for that is winning more.

Nah man. They're playing for bowl eligibility on Homecoming. They deserved a better crowd. They've earned it. 

I get it's hard to look over the 2 miserable losses to SMU and UNLV. I get it. But when your schools team is starting to trend upward and Homecoming rolls around, they have earned a crowd to show. 

But I also was agreeing a little. They didn't get the crowd they deserved due to those aforementioned games. Lay eggs to programs like that, interest vanishes.

Someone else jog my memory, but I remember the homecoming games at Fouts brought in decent to good crowds even when our record was mediocre/poor. 

Homecoming 2007: Looks like a pretty good crowd for a 1-6 team.

Complaining about attendance is a futile exercise.   With the ability to watch almost any college or pro game sitting at home, attendance suffers and will continue to do so.   

No travel, ticket costs and a minimum of time investment trumps the much better experience of actually attending. 

Students apparently in general are just not interested in sports unless it is some type of gaming.  

Having big boisterous crowds is great, but most college teams seldom achieve that status.

My Nextdoor app is filled with people asking about the fireworks and fire from Thursday night. Too many Denton residents had no idea UNT Homecoming was this week. So depressing. 

Also depressing is how many students came out for the bonfire but didn't come out for the actual game.

You earn wins not crowds.  That is the kind of crowd Apogee gets mid-season when they are 1 game over 0.500 playing a team with no  brand cachet and isn't from our region.  Also Bowl eligibility is nothing new here and we only get crappy bowls when we have less than 9 wins and don't win the conference.

I’d argue a night time game helps as well.  We just seem to have better attendance when we play late as opposed to afternoon

Compared to the last home game against LA Tech, the student side actually showed up and was more involved. I was actually unimpressed with the alumni side. The bubble popped at halftime with it being a runaway game against a team no one knows, and who wasn't doing anything notable except on one drive.

I think they were just trying to run clock by running, and not run up the score too.  I was surprised Aune even came on the field after half having already scored 45.  They could  have played Gunnell in the 3rd and Earle in the 4th, get some others backup reps.

Exactly what they should have done.

How’s the atmosphere for anyone at the game? Can only hear the announcers on TV 

Expand  

We intentionally bought season tickets at the top of a row so we could stand the whole game without bothering any one behind us. We are in Section 110, a reserved seat section that all GA ticket buyers think is GA. They think that, in part because the university, the athletic department and the stadium security don't do anything to communicate where GA seating is. So we control what we can control. After shooing away the people sitting in our seats just before kickoff (literally every single game since the stadium opened),  we yell the entire game. Helps clear out the GA'ers. 

But most importantly, the atmosphere where we sit is almost always great. Because the fans I sit with are great fans, care about the program, care about the game, care about the play. Every play.

Might be a factor, as many do not want to sit out in the sun. I still feel like homecoming always brought a good bump in attendance in the past, which we don't get now.

      Softball vs. UAB (4/17 & 4/18/25)

      Mother Nature disrupts another softball series. With Easter on Sunday, and bad weather expected Saturday, the ladies will play one game tomorrow and a doubleheader Friday starting at 3 PM. Tight race in The American as we enter the last three conference series. UNT needs two wins this series to match their win total from last year. I maintain getting a top two seed is the highest priority but we are right there with #1 FAU and hold the tiebreaker, the only team in the conference to do so. Other Series This Weekend FAU @ East Carolina Memphis @ South Florida UTSA @ Charlotte Wichita State @ Tulsa I don't foresee South Florida or Charlotte losing this weekend, so a sweep at home against UAB is almost necessary.

      We’re not alone

      I read somewhere before the teams were even seeded that Florida, Auburn, Duke, and Houston were a step above every other team. There was some metric/stat they showed to back up the statement. So, yes, I think those teams were accurately seeded…though TT almost had something to say about it.

      WBB: Transfer Portal

      https://dentonrc.com/sports/colleges/mean_green/unt-womens-basketball-team-looking-at-nearly-complete-rebuild-after-players-head-to-portal/article_cf093cbf-6ff4-44de-a70d-4f4892172cb2.html Brett Vito is reporting in his article that Hardaway, Deck, Wooten, McGrew, and Duncan are all in the portal. He reported also that Johnson left towards the end of the season. I knew I didn't see her any longer, but I thought maybe injuries, but it turns out she left like Abou did a few years back. Brackens went into the portal and has since landed at Tarleton State. The only people he says that are coming back are Tac, who was injured all season, Chania Price, and Talley.
