I've been to the stadium in Lafayette...it ain't much better than Fouts. And, yet...there's Oklahoma State. We're much closer.

Why not us?

We got Kansas State. Yeah, I suppose they're not on quite the same level, but they could be a bowling Big 12 team.

K-State initially agreed to that game with the understanding that they would be opening our new stadium.

Really, had not heard this before your post. Is this true? If so, why are they playing in Fouts and why did they schedule the game at the end of THIS season when the plans for the stadium always had it opening the season, not closing one????

Not saying it "ain't so", I have just never heard this. Or, did I miss the humore here? That could also be true!

I believe when the talks first came out that Kansas State agreed to do a home and home, I remember that they agreed with the understanding that it would be in the new stadium. At one point(while they were in negotiations) I think the plan was to get the stadium completed for this season and when that wasn't a possibility it was too late for both teams to move the game so therefore that is why they are coming to Fouts. But I could be wrong.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      Culturally speaking, UNT and Denton just don’t care about the teams here. If people do care, they get made fun of or looked at as if they have 3 heads. But if someone loathes our teams and is a student, professor, administrator, or citizen of Denton, they get all kinds of attention and praise from the others. It’s a town that loves being anti-establishment and going against the grain. And sports are most definitely at the top of the establishment definition to these people.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      I'm not trying to scold anyone here, but what's it gonna take for more people to come out and support our basketball teams? And other sports - softball and women's soccer are always solid, and volleyball just made a promising coaching hire. Our basketball teams are a combined 23-9, which is the best in The American. They're also a combined 17-1 at The Super Pit. But no one is showing up for games. I don't want this to turn into a bitch fest about our marketing. It is probably deserved, but the people on this board likely follow our athletics department on some other social media or email list. Every Monday on Twitter I see a post about what teams are playing at home this week. I know some aren't a big fan of basketball, do you dislike it more than you like the Mean Green? Many are rightfully getting turned off by NIL and the transfer portal. I don't blame you. But the coaching staff for the men are putting together its' school record eighth straight winning season. With Burton, the women won't be far behind. In football, I get it adds up for a family of four - tickets, parking, concessions. But the other five spectator sports offer free parking and normally a hella great ticket deal. Season tickets for basketball start at $99 (like $6.50/home game). If you like soccer, softball, and/or volleyball, an Olympic pass will get you a GA ticket for every home game for $75 (less than $2/ticket!). Again, not trying to call out the board, just want to raise awareness for our other sports, especially if you are feeling sour about football. Come out to The Pit at least one time the remainder of the season! The men and women deserve it. Next women's home game is this Wednesday, 1/15 at 6:30pm against defending conference champ Rice. The men play at home a week after that on the 22nd against Temple - last year's conference runner-up. Or, if you live in the Central Texas or Houston area, look for upcoming games at UTSA next Saturday, 1/18 and at Rice Tuesday, 2/11. GMG!
