The only other option if we're looking at end of October, early November would be the November 9th game against Army. Maybe they want to do something special for that as well?

I do feel they could do better than to have it on the same day as the Day of the Dead festival.

Would have been early, but I would have done 9/28 vs. Tulsa. People can deal with the warmer temps but not as much bad football in warm temps.

Sigh, another tough opponent...

Edit: and again, on the same weekend as Denton's Day of the Dead Festival.

 

Really sucks its once again on the same day as Day of The Dead and against a likely tough opponent, but unlike last year, I don't think we had much of a choice. Our October schedule is rough with only 1 home game, 2 road games, and a Bye.

Tough opponent?  We should have beat them last year.  Personally, I hate posts that are state our opponent is tough.  That should be worried about playing us.

It must really drive you crazy when our coaches and players say every team is tough. Let alone the program that's been at the top of the conference and ranked the last 2 years.

I want to agree with you.

Truly, I really do...

But I don't think anybody was looking at our run defense last year and thinking, "I'm worried about playing them."

More than a few people think Denton is Dead when it comes to supporting NT sports.

Tulane barely beat us last year with their all world QB, etc.  They will have a new coach, system, etc.  There is no reason we should not beat them.

I have never been either but heard a lot of complaints about it being on the same weekend last year, too.

Yes. Outside of the Jazz Festival its the biggest event Denton has. Part of the Square is blocked off to traffic. Logistically and financially it doesn't make sense to have the events on the same day. 

I know some really want the homecoming parade to return. Well, its not going to happen if they keep scheduling Homecoming the same weekend as Day of the Dead.

No reason? How about losing 90% of our offense to the transfer portal and a defense that still looks extremely weak.

Bigger than the Redbud Festival?  Bigger than the Storytelling Festival?  When did Denton start this?

Not sure when it started, but at least a decade ago. There's a massive mural on Hickory St where the coffin races take place.

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      I would also like to see Vice and Mason get more minutes. They looked good in the limited action I saw them. Senior privilege minutes for Sissoko and Stone are at the expense of better players.

      The Band

      I know this isn't the most important topic, but I was curious as to what others thought. I live across the country so I can't attend games unfortunately, but from watching it on TV is it just me or has the band declined in quality in the last few years? When the camera shows them they look undisciplined/inattentive, some are just wandering around chatting. I see other bands together and ready to play as soon as a play is over. The size seems to have ballooned and now sprawls across 2 sections of the stands, and despite that they sound worse. The director also doesn't seem to know that the purpose of the band is to hype up the team/crowd, and put pressure on the opposing team on 3rd downs. Play something intimidating on 3rd down! When they do play it seems like they just have a bank of songs they go through in order without considering the situation on the field. The selection of music is bad, and it doesn't seem like they have any variety of songs to connect with the crowd, many bands will play classic and modern hits to get the crowd into things. Like I said I don't know if this is true or not since I can only judge on what I see on broadcasts, what's the in-game experience like?

      What is this program missing?

      I think if you did the G5 national championship thing....and the players only got the schollie and a stipend.......I think it would draw fans like crazy. I think there are loads of folks who want amateur athletics to stay amateur. With what we draw and get in donations.....there is no way we should be paying a football coach over $1m. No way. So yeah amateur athletics, tighten the budget. These coaching staffs are huge now. Do folks not know that we now have a bigger recruiting staff.....than Hayden Fry had for an entire staff. He had six assistants. And it was better, more imaginative football. But this will likely never happen. As all these schools think they're just a break away from the "big time."

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      This. Unless/until the BOR and Administration decide to "...make winning at revenue sports a priority", we will only have the occasional good season more or less by accident.

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      We all know you hate baseball. If you make a dollar selling a ticket, it's revenue, and a revenue sport. Profit is different. Few college sports make a profit for an Athletic Department at the G5 level. Baseball (as opposed to golf, swimming, track, etc) would lure fans to campus in the spring, spur donations, as well as tickets and merchandise. It's not always about making money (profit)...it's keeping relationships with fans and alums year-round. Non-revenue sports aren't doing it.
