Joe Green and company played their last college game here before less than 5,000 people. Put the blame where it really lies——apathetic students and a town who considers itself too cultured for football. Has not changed in 75 years and never will. If NT played in Lewisville, Frisco, Allen or Plano sell outs would be the norm, but Denton would rather have a few hundred show to see someone toot a horn.
They haven't. I don't think it would have mattered, they will never be Gonzaga in their school support. New arena, same minimal basketball crowd. But they are off the media radar totally as a school during football season.
I have seen great effort and spirit in the bowl games. I feel w/o them there is nothing for a D-5 team to play for. I watch them all as well as the CFP. In fact I just bought two Cotton Bowl tickets hoping that UT is in it. To show how mixed up people o/s the metroplex are about a stadium named the Cotton Bowl that does not even host the game, I heard an announcer say that UT has an advantage because it plays OU here every year. Really? I would rather see it played in the old venue rather than a pro facility where Jerry Jones keeps the bulk of the revenue. Just call it what it is “Jerry”s Bowl”
