Five years is , in my opinion, ample time for the students to develop an interest in UNT basketball in particular and our sports in general. They don't support anything, and have not for decades.
Every year thousands of kids graduate from DFW high schools with zero insight into our history, and with them potential partners/immediate family.
Do I think there is something to be said about DFW history and our liberal arts culture vs Mean Green fandom? Yes. Do I still believe we should expect reasonable crowds if we find our audience and connect with them? Yes.
I think we have an uphill battle, but I don't really buy into the cultural/historical excuses, maybe a little bit, but much moreso is a battle with technology and connectivity.. People, young and old, have hundreds of options to be entertained each and every weekend, nearly any hour of the day. In cafes, in air-conditioned mancaves with 4 flatscreens hanging on the walls. Over at their friend's Overwatch lan party with drinks of choice.
This is a complex issue, with no simple answer. But I think it can be solved. We only need a fraction of the actual Mean Green alumni to buy in. I choose to believe it can be done.
I dream of a S16 appearance. It's sooo. hard, but we are one or two possible recruits away from making that leap. And I know it would give our fanbase a jolt that is desperately needed. Still need our AD to figure things out, too.
