The absolutely did not bring more fans than us. Wasn’t even close. Just stop.
 

It was a nice away crowd contingent just like last time they came to Denton. Love being in a league with them. Tailgate was lively and fun with their fans.

Really dude? I too like the fact they show up better than most and I also love them in our conference. They maybe represented 15% of the crowd which is freaking fantastic.

The Army fans sitting behind us were a bunch of a$$holes.

Way more than 15%. They packed the visitor sections to the right of the student section. And they had the whole section just to the left of the band that looked sold out with Army fans. Those sections alone probably evenly split the attendance with our students on that side of the stadium. And they were interspersed everywhere else in the stadium. Army was at least ⅓ of the fans in attendance, and that’s being conservative.

Army is an incredibly classy program and playing them and having them in the conference is a powerful boost to the credibility of OUR program. 

I’ve been to 99% of the games at DATCU and that is the best that stadium has ever looked.

It is also impressive how, after the game, Army comes to our side and stands at attention for the playing of our school song. That type of respect for others is missing in our society now. 
I wanted Army to lose against us, but I will be rooting for them the rest of the season.

Section 109 and 110 Army fans were great. Other than them, I am the loudest guy in that area. Mostly just loud, sometimes obnoxious. North Texas fans, every game, are less tolerant of my shenanigans on the whole, but I got props from both groups yesterday.

ARMY fan was louder than our fan. I don't know if that is a reflection of them outnumbering us or that they had more to cheer about and/or are louder than when our fans have reason to celebrate.

Lots of North Texas fans wear/wore black. And lots of NT fans were also served in the Army. I find it very difficult to cheer against ARMY, and I suspect other NT fans feel the same way. The Mean Green on the field wore more black than the black knights, but looked good anyway.

We had West Point family and friends at our tailgate and served fantastic food (thanks to the lasses). Overall, its about as much fun as I have had at any North Texas game we lost.

And it was a great joy to cheer on @FirefightnRick as he was feted yesterday. Well done, FFR!

Three weeks in a row on “national” TV, generally larger crowds, more money.  Not a bad deal, when we start winning it will be nice. What a defense yesterday, if we can play like that the rest of the year things will definitely be looking up!  I like the American.

If Army fans weren't  at least 40% of the crowd....there must have been alot of NT fans yelling for Army.

The "NORTH" Westside "TEXAS" Eastside chant was the best all year...if I remember it was after a Army turn over

28519 attendance.

The uniforms looked like ass.

Who can we complain to about the team just wearing green or white?  The black unis are atrocious.

Probably amped up a bit too much I suppose.  But who can blame them?  They had had a REALLY GOOD previous 4 days.

      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?
