They would have a better crowd if….

they played opponents the fans cared about

the weather was better

they had an IPF

there were not so many other entertainment options in south Florida

they would just win consistently for a decade

they changed the culture at FAU

Did I miss anything?

So are you saying that if UNT played FAU in the rain at Denton our attendance would be that much Better. Also the reasons you stated about FAU could just as easily be applied to North Texas.

That crowd was an embarrassment to all parties involved in that game.

The second major hurricane in three weeks, widespread power outages and 30% of gas stations in the state being out of fuel might have something to do with it. South Florida had 37 tornados during Milton, the most in a single day in state history. It has been beyond insane here.

They had a hurricane blow through on Thursday and has been raining ever since then…a lot of people loss everything, might be one reason the attendance was low???? Many people had more important things to than go to a football game!

Their stadium is about 10years old.

No, that was one of the original things people said that was supposed to make for better attendance(*), just like the stuff in the original list.

(*) sorry for letting the cat out of the bag regarding the OPs sarcasm since it seems a few people didn't catch it.

I was going to add that, but they have a sort of, relatively new stadium.  However, I did forget one and we do have a new one....

They would have a better crowd if...

fans didn't stay home to watch the game on TV

there weren't any other college football games being played at the same time

What more is there to expect right now? At the beginning of the year we'd all be ecstatic if I told you we were 5-1 with Tech being our only loss. The SFA and Wyoming crowds were great, homecoming will be too.

I would like to beat a team with a winning record this year.

I would agree with you, if not for the point that the Tech loss wasn't just a loss.  It was one of the worst 1st half performances in the modern history of college football.  The other games were fun...but they were against teams that range from REALLY bad to below average.  If we lose the next three all by double digits, which is pretty much what most of the college football world expects, it would be understandable for some fans to be disappointed with 5-4 and non-competitive with the upper half of the conference.  Hopefully the defense will surprise some folks and that won't come to pass . . .

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
