So I am watching their game - it came on CBS-C after the Army/NT game. It is empty in there. Can't be more than 8K people in there. How is that possible? They spend $2 million a year on a coach, they win 9 games (including a bowl game), and they launch a sell out the stadium campaign - and on top of all this they have a Pac 10 school in town for a home game - and STILL, they can't get a crowd. Is this why the SW conference broke up? It's sad really - we are 5-34 over the last 4 years and we have good crowds. If you are an SMU fan, you must be confused. If you are one of those boosters, you must feel dissapointed with the return on your emotional investment. Turn the game on if you have that channel, tell me how many fans you see. It looks like 8k-10K to me (and that is being pretty generous)

Do K-State fans count towards the 5k? I would like a free taco.

Nov 6th is the Troy game;) but I'll tell you what , you sit through the whole Troy game and I'll buy you all the tacos you want !

Should be pretty ugly by half. Troy would probably beat Army by 30

      Iconic Denton Restaurant?

      2007-2010 I miss Hooyahs close to campus. Those big ass burritos were great. Crooked crust, Roosters, and Denton Co Hamburgers were my go to places.

      Parking

      We were later than usual. We usually like to arrive 2 hours before kickoff, but we didn't arrive at the NT Blvd exit until 30 minutes before kickoff. If not for the Hub Club entrance, we would have missed the first quarter, too. The Northbound I35E North Texas Blvd exit is a poorly managed part that must be resolved. UNT should have made 100 plastic yard signs that say "Blue Lot for Pass Holders ONLY. No Passes for Sale" and stick 50 of them 5-10 feet apart down the left and right sides of the access road between the NT Blvd offramp and NT Blvd. For every five cars that turned left across the bridge and pulled up to turn into the south blue lot entrance, one went through. After half-time, someone can pull the hypothetical signs out of the ground and save them for the next game. One digital road sign was posted, but it didn't mention the Blue Lot needing already purchased passes. The message it did have about the Orange Lot was contrived and difficult to decipher. I didn't know the Brown Lot existed till this past weekend. It's an easily accessible lot rarely used on most game days. To be candid, I spend too much money as it is to get my complementary Blue Lot pass (I think if MGSF correctly accounted for my Basketball contributions, I should probably have a Black Lot pass). If they oversold the Blue Lot and I could not find a spot, I'd be very frustrated. The many open spots probably also have something to do with a lot of people parking in the gravel/mulch RV spots. I guess there are just not that many people who want to pony up more money than 2 Hub Club tix cost to park an RV. Regarding exiting, the Denton/UNT Police at one point had enough cones to keep you from leaving the southern Blue lot entrance and cutting across the southbound access road traffic to try to get on the Southbound I35E entrance at NT Blvd. They should start doing that again. Yes, I will have to go through the light at McCormick (I think that's the next street) and get on one entrance ramp further, but it will keep traffic moving better. I hate to say it, but we won't have any of these issues again this season, even with a win this weekend at UTSA.
