Game 1 Promotion/Hype

[MeanGreen22]

At the exhibition, it was said over the PA that banner raising would take place at the first game vs UNI yet nothing has been promoted on social media or via email (that I’ve seen). They really should be hammering the promotion for this game now if that is indeed the case. I’d be very annoyed if attendance was poor the game we’d be honoring last years team accomplishment.

Welp it is UNT, this should be an easy thing for the AD to publicize and get the crowd out, but ......

Why do this on a Tuesday night game?

Generally banner raisings are done for season openers no matter the day. Funnily enough, we haven't always followed that.  After we made the NCAAs in March of 2007, the first game of the next season we didn't raise a banner (it was a Saturday), but waited until the following game...because we had Oklahoma State at home.  I believe we did the same thing in 2010-2011...a cupcake for game one and then Banner raising for marquee opponent (Texas Tech) in Game 2.

 

Both of the game ones were on "better" days of the week...Friday/Saturday and both of the Banner raisings were on Tuesday/Wednesday.

 

 

UNI is a much bigger opponent than Nebraska Omaha.
