Damn. Since Austin wants to stay around 50k, I wonder how long until we pass them? Wouldn't be surprised if the Aggs pass them first, and then we look to pass them to be the largest. Someday I suspect.

I'll, uh, go outside the box here, :rolleyes: but in the old days of extended (late) enrollment at NT we have added as many as 1,000 additional students. Don't know if late registration is at it was back in the day, but what the heck--the more the merrier.

No "potential" UNT student could ever visit our campus now and not feel that special buzz of excitement that all our latest wave of expansion along with all the very noticeable construction creates--especially that huge edifice of a new football stadium that looks so-oooooo sweet up close and from a distance.

The only thing that matters: Did we pass Houston?

Also, are UNT-Dallas's numbers seperate from UNT's?

We will pass UH at the official Grand Opening of the New Stadium @ Mean Green Village and on the scoreboard! :P

(Just playing with ya' my UH Cougar friends! Look forward to having you--hope you bring your great marching band so we can have 2 great marching bands in the stadium that night, too). Good grief, what am I doing here, that game is more than a year away!

PS: My first college team to support as a youth was Bill Yeoman's UH Cougars of whom I saw many of their games in the Astrodome. Ran into one of Coach Yeoman's former lineman, ie, David Bourquin, in Mineral Wells (TX) the other day who just retired as the MWHS Rams head football coach.

PS:

Harry Miers, can you and your crack gang of computer experts on GMG.com super-impose a nice photo of our football stadium rendering on top of this "Mean Green Football" page? You will have many new visitors (and lurkers) this year who might be interested in seeing what we've got going on every time they log on to the Mean Green Football section. Just a thought, buddy.

I have been told that we or UNT plans to cap at 45,000 in Denton. Then the I am sure the admission requirements will increase. I heard this from various developers that were working around UNT and they said that that was what Gretchen was telling them two years ago or so.

Tony, I wonder what the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has "requested" that TAMU--College Station cap their enrollment? Probably 45,001? :rolleyes:;):lol:

SUMG and I were marvelling the other day all the real estate at and near the New Stadium @ The Mean Green Village which UNT still has to work with for all our future construction and growth. Of course when you're doing your piloting thing you can see all this better than anyone, right?

Luckily, I got to ride the bus, but we were packed in like sardines...

Been there. I lived in an off campus apartment the last couple years I attended ('08 grad). and the Bernard St. bus would pass us by a couple times before one would let us on to sort of stand on the bus, but really in the stair wells. So, UNT obviously needs more parking and a larger bus fleet. Wasn't there a parking garage planned on the Fry Street mud pit for a while?

I doubt the official requirements will change much if any, but capping enrollment will effectively make UNT more selective by not accepting everyone who meets the base requirements.

I really doubt SMU fanboys would care they would counter that SMU is an elite school who doesn't just let anyone in blah blah etc...

I wouldn't blame them especially if I had to pay their tuition.

      Pretty sure the auto bid is going to go away after 2026 anyway.

      Impressive ECU win

      I don’t think they were ever that valid except for top 15 teams. The New Years 6 Bowls were the only bowls that had history you average player at that time relished playing in. The bowl tie-ins are convoluted now. It used to be that if you won your conference or got second place you knew what bowl that level of accomplishment would send you. Now you don’t have a clue. Look at Army and Navy from our conference. Army should have gotten a more prestigious bowl and opponent than Navy. (Remember Bowls were assigned before the Army vs Navy game and Army is our conference champion).

      Would You Really Rather Talk NIL/Transfer Portal

      Definitely a HUGE part of it but lots of other programs that don’t win consistently have better game day participation by their students for on campus football games. It just a lack of vision by our university when it comes to athletics in general. The new stadium should have been more centrally located than Fouts or just built on top of it. I pushed back and others calling our students “weirdos in another thread. General it seems like the Adminstration doesn’t understand the harder you make it to get to games that we don’t win the fewer the amount of people/students will show up. If DATCU was across the street from the SuperPit or in the footprint of the old Fry Street area, I think you would see an average of 10% more students actually inside the stadiums. The Fry Street area would have been harder to acquire and building within the Fouts (and adjacent parking lot) footprint may have required borrowing another stadium for a year or two. But it would have been worth it in the long term and significant because it would be a symbol that athletics are an essential part of the experience they want to provide traditional on campus students. Winning helps but fixing the culture takes more than just that. And fixing the culture is the only way you can have a down season or two that doesn’t turn into 5 or 10 bad season.

      I am not excited at all about a NIL Scrimmage Bowl at SMU with people who didn't start this year and probably won't start next season either. Win, lose, or draw, it is a meaningless game.
