From a NT student that doesn't have the self esteem to follow his own school:

No way... Dodge would have to do some MEAN (no pun intended) recruiting and training if they think they can stop OU next year. There's just no way.

Now in the future, depending on Dodge's success, UNT may be able to defeat some decent teams. That would be good for their program. Since I'm pretty sure there's more school spirit for the Big XII on this campus than there is for UNT. I see more OU, UT, or A&M shirts here than I do UNT. That's a little sad.

(Especially when you see someone with a UT sweatshirt and an Aggy beanie... you just have to wonder if he has multiple personalities...)

I saw quite a bit of that stuff in the 97-99 range, under the Helwig regime. I saw it start to disappear when RV arrived.

You'll see an occasional UT or other BCS team gear, but I see a lot more students wearing UNT gear than anything else on an average day.

I was surprised.  The professor asked my class tonight if they knew who the new football coach was and almost in unison 110 students said "Todd Dodge".

Interest has definitely been piqued.

Good to hear that the students are paying attention. Let's hope they come out in force for the 2007 campaign.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      Are you pleading for the student body to show up or alumni? A 6:30 game on a Wednesday is a B for someone that doesn’t live in close proximity. I live in Allen and could never consider that drive. We go to Americans hockey games as they are in our back yard. They aren’t very good but more of a deterrent for us to go to more, is no one is there….on a Tuesday night. If there stands were filled, it would feel more legit and we’d probably go more, even if the quality of play wasn’t there. I suspect the student body wants that same ‘experience’. When I was there so many years ago, we wanted to be where the action was, even if it was dash riprocks. So I see a bit of chicken and egg here. People don’t go because people don’t go. If people would go, more people would go. football games are so much easier to plan for. 1 game a week, generally on a Saturday. You can make a day/event out of it. Weekly, more frequent basketball games, on weeknights, don’t offer the same advantages. All that said, I applaud your plea and hope that the tides change. Would love to hear that the Pit is packed routinely.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      According to Burton, and I'm sure it's the same with some men's teams, some of the intra-TX teams that you'd think would bring more fans will only come play us if we give them a check. I think investing more in our schedule would be worth it for the larger crowds (plus extra tickets/concessions sold). Stop scheduling Mississippi Valley State. Get a UTA, Texas State, SHSU, LA Tech, UTEP, or SFA in here. Renewing rivalries with WKU and MTSU would also be fun. Agreed, I feel like there was more in the concourse a few seasons ago? But now it is mostly bare and dead. I would like to see somewhere on the concourse a spirit shop you walk through, like the Hangar at the AAC in Dallas. Perhaps it could be the on-campus NIL Store to provide an easy opportunity for our athletes to make more NIL earnings.
