UNT averaged 18,000 and some change. Not bad for 5-31 program after three years.

Oh, it's amazing how Louisiana Tech pushed exactly 100,000 fans through the turnstiles for five games, averaging exactly 20,000 per game. How do they do that? :blink:

In Summary....Not bad numbers at all for our win-loss record! Some interesting comparisons.

SUNBELT-

We Beat out:

Ark St- 17.5k a game

FIU- 10.2k a game

FL Atl- 15.3 a game

LA Monroe- 13.8 a game

West Ky- 14.1 a game (with their record??? Kinda impressive)

We Had Less Numbers Than:

LA Laf- 18.6k a game (just barely)

Troy- 18.4k a game (we will beat them next year!)

Middle Tenn- 20.5k a game

Outside of Our Conference Teams that we Beat Out:

Akron- 17.3k a game

Ball St.- 10.8k a game

UAB- 17.9k a game

Ohio- 17.9k a game (they went to a bowl!)

Northern ILL.- 14.8k a game (Romo would be disappointed)

Nevada- 17.5k a game

New Mexico State- 16.5k a game

*Rice- a Dismal 13.5k a game

Other Interesting Comparisons

SMU- 21.3k a game (after the year they had?)

Central Mich- 19.7k a game (same as above?)

I would project that next year's numbers average out at 22k a game...reasoning is:

The Excitement about Canales and his potential

The Return of so many talented players....hopefully sharpened and elite by now

The Last Year of Fouts Field

and Foremost because we came so close to winning 5 extra games last year but couldn't seal the deal. The problems associated with this will hopefully be gone!

I would expect this number, or slightly higher, only because of the K-State game. It will be nice to have this game over T-giving than a game with ARSt. or another SBC school over T-giving.

Very true...but imagine the possibilities of a winning season and a new stadium on our side. The only thing that stinks is that we don't have too many big name teams coming to us yet for the next 4 yrs (after this one of course). I see no reason why we can't match C-USA averages with these variables in our pocket.

Didn't La-La have a home game against Southern that was absolutely packed that skewed that number somewhat?

When NT traveled down there the attendance was, well let's just say you could hold a church service in there...

True, but it was a HOME game in THEIR stadium. Smart scheduling.

Next year they open in a home game against Grambling in Shreveport. An African-American friend of mine from that area told me once that La Tech would never play Grambling and that if it ever happened you couldn't find a stadium in North Louisiana that could hold everyone who would want to see that game. The Mayor of Shreveport has already said that they expect a sellout. I suppose their numbers will improve dramaticly next year. It is interesting to note that recently they played Miami in Shreveport and could not fill it up.

They might have learned something from somebody else.

La Tech uses SMU counters - 20K sounds great!

La La also had K-State in their house. So imagine when we win again - 25K average!

Remember, you are asking this about a state whose flagship university has to mark numbers every five yards because ten must be too big of a number.

the Tech/Grambling game is actually counting as a home game for Grambling.

      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?
