As a student, I don't believe athletics is really promoted on campus.  I NEVER see any posters or emails asking the students to come out and support the team.  This doesn't make sense to me, because even though students get in for free they still spend money at the concession stand.

I've never had a problem with the students getting in for free. They do spend money in the concession stand. Students are poor. I think it's our responsiblity as Alumni to foot the bill for the rest. We ahve got to find a way to get students to a FREE game.

Student attendance was better when we were winning. Nobody wants to be remined of how bad you suck.

WHY???? do you need posters or emails asking the students to come to the damn game? It is your school and football team. You should support them. I do not care what school someone attends. 90% of the students will know that they have a FB team and that they play on a specific Saturday.

I am sick and tired of the students needing to be begged to come and support their athletic teams at NT. It is the same with men's and women's BB.

Students support your athletic teams.

Where are the students? Somewhere else that's better and more entertaining than a losing game in the bloody cold, that's where. You want students to support the team? You need to give them a reason to support the team. Not everyone is a hardcore fan, but in order to become a hardcore fan, you have to start out a fairweather fan first.

If I'm a first-year student, I wouldn't show up to some of these games either, especially when it's as cold as it is, and when the team's been coughing up games they should be winning. I don't blame them.

What does the school need to do? The solution isn't just promotion, because in reality, a promotion is worthless unless the product is worthwhile, and lately, it's easy to see the football team as an unworthy product. The university needs to improve the program, and that will put butts back in seats. Period.

Students don't get in free! They paid at registration for the right to go to every home game in every sport through their student use fee. If they choose not to attend an event to which they have already paid admission, that is their right. The fact so many don't realize they already paid is their fault.

Also, 50 degrees Fahrenheit in NOT COLD if you wear any kind of jacket, sweater, etc.

When i was at rice yesterday it was thier homecoming and they are trying to get a bowl bid for the first time in forever, and their posted attendence was 12,000. when i pulled up i thought the game was over because you could clearly see the inside of the stadium and there were like 5,000 people there.

Not everybody likes football, to get them out you have to win or play winning teams

3-7 vs 3-7 ummm i think i am going to spend my night with my grandmother knitting.

      Just for fun

      So, I was thinking. There’s a high probability Chandler is going to get poached next year, unfortunately, so I wanted to see your prediction on who our qb will be next year. Just because it’s an off week and this is all in fun, my ideal scenario is to keep Morris.(both of them) plus, if one of us turns out to be right we get bragging rights!! lol That being said, I could see a certain former Guyer qb, that has recently lost his starting job, come back home and spend a season with the new qb whisperer!! That’s right, Jackson Arnold. predict away! cheers fellas!!

      Thursday/Friday FBS/FCS Games - 10/3 and 10/4

      Houston started to look like Fritz ball tonight. Cougar now has 2 wins. Raise a toast CQ and savor the evening. Good win over Sonny. Fort Worth looks bored directionless. GMG

      The Answer is Marketing....

      We all love Grant. Think it was a typo. Tough name for GM and auto correct. I don’t know about the dormant alumni. They seem like lost causes to me. A buddy last weekend who never goes to a UNT game though a grad, was happy to send me pics from smu where he went to see his beloved Noles. No connection to FSU but he was there. He doesn’t disparage UNT but doesn’t care either. And the silly alums on sports radio apologize for speaking about UNT or giving an update about a G5 team. Spineless. Go after the young families moving into Denton. Make it the Mean Green Village Fairgrounds for 7 Saturdays a year with different themes. October fest, funnel cake fan fest, food drive game in November, summer sizzling barbecue bonanza for a September game. Have a Mariachi Mean Green crew like they do at Texas Rangers. The mariachis on mariachi Monday walk around the concourse in their Ranger red outfits smiling taking pictures with fans. Then they play a few sets on the big screen and boom you get a unique group of peeps you look forward to seeing. The coolest thing this season was all their close ups of their championship rings as they strung their instruments. Could be a nice link to our Denton Hispanic community. Do some fun things the community would come out to and get them into the stadium. Jared is doing some creative things this season. Like Oktoberfest and tickets and tee promotion. Sellout game push and more to come for November. Keep creating interesting unique and different because UNT definitely is creative unique and interesting. GMG

      Portland Watching Party?

      I don’t think you’re going to feel in danger or anything. I go out most evenings when I’m there. It just isn’t that lively since so much has been shuttered. If the weather is nice, though, it might be livelier than I’m thinking and I’m told the city has been taking an effort the last few months to clean up the sidewalks. The area around Powell’s books (which you definitely should go to) is usually pretty busy and touristy. There are several really good brewpubs nearby and a dive bar or two. Feel free to DM me if you want any recommendations.
