Expect Low Attendance

[rojomojo]

My fraternity just canceled our tailgate for tomorrow. Rumor is that many frats will be cancelling as well. I saw that the athletic department is giving away free t shirts to the first 500 students, however I am not confident 500 students will show up...

You're not going to get students walk across miles of asphalt and uncovered areas just to watch UNT football... Tomorrow will be a day that greatly displays the negative aspects of NIMBY stadium projects and the impacts they have on collegiate demographics.

High of 58 degrees and 100% rain and thunderstorms even if we had a winning record the attendance would be low. Tomorrow's attendance will make the last home game look like a packed house.  They might be lucky to have 500 fans.

The frats won’t be there??  Oh no…what ever will we do without the 7 of them that come inside??!!

A gripe about frat engagement and a gripe about stadium construction.  2 birds, one stone, as they say.

Is this a joke? Did I stumble upon a bit? Understanding your post and Twitter history, I know you're being serious... And with that... I'll leave it to the late and great Kobe Bryant, as he said it best.......

I always expect low attendance, It is the denton way.

Forecast has consistently shown the rain will clear around kickoff.

On Thursday night there were a few thousand students that "walked across miles of asphalt" to the bonfire pep rally.  Other than the coeds ransacking the charcuterie board at the Alumni Pavillion, it sure appeared enough kids found a reason to walk over to DATCU for school spirit.

And this sentence is the crown jewel of smarter than you 2023 students: Tomorrow will be a day that greatly displays the negative aspects of NIMBY stadium projects and the impacts they have on collegiate demographics. 

WTF do all of these words strung together even mean?

You know what this actually surprises me a bit. When I was at UNT, the tailgate would have probably been canceled in this weather but we'd still have gone to the game. The leaders in my fraternity and others made it a point to tell everybody to go to games. Obviously not everybody went but many did. We had a tremendous amount of fun even though we were right after the Dodge years and there wasn't much to be excited about. Attendance has never been great but as fraternity members, you should be acting as a UNT hype group, not discouraging attendance.

 @rojomojo, you spend your time on here preaching what the P5s do yet you yourself behave like a bottom feeder fan. Students at P5s would be in attendance, no matter the weather. Bad weather is part of the game and if you're a fan, you are also part of the game. Some of you students want UNT to be a bigger program but you're not willing to behave like fans of a bigger program. You're not asked to do much more than be a warm body in a stadium yet you have a stadium right across the highway with a nice pedestrian bridge but you can't make the trip. Here's an idea for your fraternity, give the pledges some money to go to Walmart and buy some ponchos for everybody plus some for the women. Then get the pledges to drive y'all over to the game so you don't have to walk. You have 5 hours. Be a leader, make a plan, and execute it.

You're not a small child. You're a young adult and soon you're going to be expected to be a contributing member to society. You're going to be ok if you get a little wet. So are your friends. My 5 year old was just out in the rain in sandals swinging on our play set. He's still alive. I promise it will be ok.

The Rangers game. UT/OU. Any other game on TV. Kids soccer. Sun in my eyes. Mowing the yard. The game is being held on a Saturday. (Insert excuse here).

Pledging ain't what it used to be. 

We would have told the pledges they had to be in the stands all four quarters otherwise they should plan to get a 2am phone call invite to a brotherhood pledge encouragement session.

Doesn’t matter. The damage is already done. The students have their excuse, the seats are wet.

Radar trends are backing that up.  Clearing line is now from central Dallas through south Fort Worth to around Granbury and moving north as a warm front passes.  Once that front lifts north, we should have temps in the 60's and 70's and muggy with maybe a few brief showers by game time.

Go to the friggin' game!  You run thru a brick wall if you have to!  Whatever it takes!

I usually defend the students but this is just soft as hell 🫠

[greenjoe]

Romojomo’s fraternity is the definition of “fair weather fan.”

What’s the name and motto of this fraternity ?

I believe it's safe to say you are the most pathetic poster in the history of gomeangreen.com. I have empathy for the pathetic life you must live where you're only joy seems to be from trying to cut down North texas. As I say you are a pathetic individual and a great example of how getting clicks is the most important thing on this board or you would have long been banned

I forget how soft we've become as a society.

I hope you are correct. I think a dry ball will be better for us either way. NOAA has said rain all day in denton since midweek. 

Denton:

Today

Showers and possibly a thunderstorm, mainly before 4pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4pm. High near 60. North northeast wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Tonight

A chance of showers and thunderstorms, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 1am. Low around 45. North northeast wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

Sunday

Showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 4pm, then showers likely. Temperature falling to around 43 by 4pm. North wind 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

One thing I don't like about NWS's area forecasts is they are too generalized and not specific enough as to time of location.  Rain will clear Denton by 1:00 if not sooner

This shows clearly the trend:

It might turn into perfect football weather—a high of 60 with light winds.
