Probably been noted elsewhere.....but Wyoming beat Air Force 31-19.

And....Army is 4-0......

Their next four games before they come to Denton on 11/9:

At Tulsa

UAB at home.

East Carolina at home.

Air Force at home.

Hoping like crazy....that Army is 8-0 and ranked when they come to Denton......

Sell out ?

If we ever have a sellout....it will happen naturally (like it almost did against La Tech in '18). Our crowd that day was 30,105.....which is more than our current capacity.....but wasn't a sellout back then. 

As to the crowd on 11/9.......if Army is undefeated and ranked....I predict they bring the biggest visiting crowd in Apogee/DATCU history.

We’ve got significant work to do. An 8-0 vs 7-1 battle involving an Academy and rising coach, recognized quarterback smack in the heart of North Texas on an incredible fall morning. Game Day on mound with the hill packed with fans, flags, orange Home Depot lids, Washington State flags waving outside Datcu. It’s good to dream.

DATCU’s capacity has always been listed as 30,850. And I don’t know what you mean by “natural” but that La Tech game was marketed like crazy with the Joe Greene statue and all the NFL hall of famers in attendance.

Careful what you wish for. We have not historically shown up for big games. 

Don't get me wrong, I would be so fired up!

DATCU's capacity was reduced to 30,100 when the chairbacks were put in.

And as to a "natural" sellout.....I mean with individuals buying the tickets in groups of 2, 4, 10 or whatever. The game the other day........tickets were sold in huge blocks to Peterbilt and DATCU. And then they either redistributed them to employees. Or in DATCU's case.....sold them with some of the profit going to area schools.

Y'all crack me up! A few weeks ago we are calling for Mosley and Morris to step down for football Mal practice for not firing Caponi. A few weeks later we are talking about having College Game Day in Denton! HA! I love this board!

Ah, okay. Can't believe they lost that many seats in just a few sections. It's not like the chairbacks are super roomy.

      Ross Hodge Replacement Candidates?

      Working on a long-term contract is not the same as getting a big raise and extension. To me it just means they're hearing whispers and are trying to lock him up before he takes another job. Not seeing anything that a deal is done.

      “Student Athletic” in college sports. JJ Watts’ take on the subject.

      And the NFL, with 32 teams, only provides a maximum of 16 games a week. The need for more games is there. But people won’t watch leagues that are considered “minor”. What they will watch, in person and on TV, are the kids who will be in the NFL, representing the schools of states and cities they live in or went to or grew up near. The problem is that there aren’t more than probably 30 brands that really move the needle for ratings and attendance. If the CFB powers decided to coalesce into the following schools, the media and most of the CFB fandom wouldn’t even think twice about those left behind. Washington, Oregon, USC, UCLA, Texas, A&M, OU, Nebraska, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, LSU, Ole Miss, Bama, Auburn, Georgia, FSU, Florida, Clemson, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Penn State. These schools play in huge stadiums that are almost always full when they play someone else on the list, they represent 99% of the eyeballs for TV, and the media cover them big time. And their alumni give tons of money to these programs. Sure, there are other programs that could meet some of the criteria I mentioned above, but nobody is clamoring to make sure they get to watch Utah vs Texas Tech or West Virginia vs BYU as if it’s the same as a game between the 30 teams mentioned above. At some point, the government will make its way to taking fees for athletics away from the students and making it paid for by alumni and local supporters. When that happens, CFB at places like here will probably end.

      What would be the top 3 places to see a game? Off hand, I’d say, Allen Fieldhouse, Cameron Indoor Stadium, and Pauley Pavilion, but Hinkle would be on the list for the next few places to see a game.

      They have the most money and the most talent. It’s probably going to be at least half SEC. I figure Florida and Auburn have great chances, while Tennessee has a fair chance, and Bama over Duke seems like a very low chance of happening.

      Houston vs Texas Tech for the title in San Antonio would feed families.
