DFW is the relocation capital of the U.S. More than 500 people a day are moving in from other parts of the country. We need to reach out to these orphaned college athletic fans, away from their home teams, and have them "adopt" the Mean Green as their local program.
I don't know "Matt from A700" but I see him as one of the type of fans that you describe. He has taken time to arrange and gather groups of fans for games around the state and country. Some do podcasts. The Maniacs seem to be doing a good job of getting more students involved. Perhaps the answer to getting more fans is in more grass roots efforts like these. For us "old timers" it was the Mean Green Club that got us to be lifelong fans. Tailgating groups seem to have somewhat carried on that tradition. We need to find younger fans who have the energy, health, and understanding what their peers enjoy and have the Athletic Department cultivate them to help with this mission. Any of you "youngsters" to the challenge?
Maybe our school and students should aspire to be more like the liberal schools on the west coast who now fly cross-country for conference athletics. Seems like sustainability is no longer "in." Get with it, UNT students and Dentonites. Waste is in-style and very Westcoast-like.
