What else are you going to do in Boone, NC?

[Glory to the Green]

Good for them.  Hoping we can get some good crowds later this season. 

[Mean Green 93-98]

The Sun Belt has become a solid G5 football conference, no question about it.  But that's been the case for a few years now.

Everyone's cousins must have been out of town.

App State averages close to that, so what? LaTech vs the MUTS drew 9,602. What is your point?

That is part of it. The entire community can rally behind the team because there is no one else. It's also partially how Boise State became who they are, but in a bigger market with less competition.

I watched the 4th qrtr.  Good game and a lot of very good talent on both teams.

"Cousins" should probably be singular.

 

 

Jokes aside, there are some solid SBC teams now.

Fans show up for App State because they win, not because Boone lacks other things to do.

Since they joined the FBS in 2014 they've had no losing seasons and have been to seven bowl games, winning six of them.

Before that in the FCS from 1982 to 2013, they had only four losing seasons and won three FCS championships.

He’s right, you know?

Isn't it "loosing"?

Agreed, well, that and the kiss your sister booth.

I think we all just need to realize that this is just how it is at UNT until we win and see more interest. It used to bug me so much to see such sparse crowds, but I’ve now come to realize that getting the athletics fees is 1000x better than seeing students at games.

Until the light goes off and students realize they’re paying for something they have no interest in and band together to protest the fee taking it to court if need be.

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a million times. No stadium in any conference is sold out based on the attendance of the student population, it’s filled by the alumni and casual fans. 
 

also, don’t cite that North Texas has a student population of 43K+ the school needs to build more dorms to increase the on campus student population.

I wonder why the eye roll reaction to this comment.  We need to win to really start complaining about  or significantly addressing  lack of attendence with solutions.  It is really that simple.
