if i'm jj, i am frustrated and disapointed that no matter how good we are, attendance averages only 3,000. if we loose him, this will be a primary reason. lack of fan support.

We've slowly been increasing attendance under JJ though. Yes, the team isn't getting the support it deserves but it has been slowly increasing.

Had been until last year, when we took a step back.

We didn't have anyone interesting on last year's schedule though. When you have a team like Tech or OSU, it really helps with that spike.

I bet if you segregated OOC attendance from conference attendance, you might see where we had more people attending conference games than OOC games.

A recent win against LSU should increase conference attendance, but the AD better promote the heck out of that win and our overall record, and mid major poll position. If marketed correctly to students and Denton throughout the city attendance should improve. How much will depend on focused marketing. Hopefully AD's new operations manager can help with this and has experience doing this. If so, we're good...if not, more of the same attendance wise.

I hope NT is in jeopardy of losing all their coaches because that means they have done something positive here. Yes JJ deserves more but the facts are he and the team has done their part, but as a whole the NT bb program does not come remotely close to breaking even. With the type and quality of the program, JJ has developed; the attendance and support at NT is pitiful. Most schools in Texas are in the same situation, and the support for NT has and is improving but it has far to go. Now that NT is in conference play hopefully NT can average at least 4,000 for the rest of the home games and take at least double the crowd they had last year for the conference tournament.

UNT hired Jeff Luster-Director of Basketball Operation away from TCU recently. I don't know the specific ties Johnny Jones had with Mr. Luster prior to hiring, but seems to be good hire.

I would think BB Marketing on campus, within Denton, and to merchandisers would come under his purview although I could be mistaken. Mr. Luster is listed under coaches page on UNT Athletics Basketball website.

In the Barbershop Podcast where JJ was the guest, he answers a question about Luster and the value his hiring brings to the whole organization.

I always knew this day would come... Lifer, just put the knife down. Wardly surely knows the difference between "lose" & "loose". He just misremembered how to spell it.

Go through and reread many of his posts where he uses loose instead of lose. His "misremembering" how to spell the word is habitual ... kinda like breathing.

      Prediction vs Army

      Army will have over 500 yards of offense by the end of the third quarter. After watching us against any team with a pulse on offense this year, it's probably not going to be a fun game for the home team.

      Brief History of the Mean Green

      And, while Joe Greene played at North Texas in the late 60s, the nickname “Mean Green” is actually in reference to the stingy defensive line (?) of that era.

      Evansville (11/5/24)

      entirely based on previous season stat lines and presumed fit, I mentally have Massie starting at the 4...he seems to bring a little bit more offensive game than Newell, and while he gives up some inches he did average more boards and he's pretty range-y and like Walker, averaged over a steal/game last season. plus assuming Vice and Smith aren't contributors this season, Newell and Lorient off the bench can give enough height to sort of combo man the 4/5 spot...neither is really a 5, but together you can get a rotation with Sissoko

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      I'd take him from a talent standpoint in a heart beat. He's from Baton Rouge but attended Trinity Christian Academy (Cedar Hill) where he lead them to their private school's state championship. I really wanted him at UNT but he signed with Texas A&M. We are starting to bring in a number of 1 year players as well, so why not. Great rebounder and shot blocker at 6-9. Don't really think there would be mutual interest though.
