I know it's just one half, but it seems Josh is doing a good job answering the question of where he has gone.

Yes...I would like to think I had SOMETHING to do with that. HA! :thumbsu:

While this game is the start of a huge 6 game stretch...and then an even bigger 10 game stretch, one should also note that this game is the end of huge 7, 2 and 1 game stretches. Not to overstate thi

Any crowd of exactly 4150 or above, and we will move into second place in overall Sun Belt attendance, passing MTSU. If we keep the good crowds going we may even be able to catch WKU. The students o

CMJ and all thanks for the updates. I have been following it on my phone via ESPN.com since they refresh automatically. Great win. Hope we can start playing like this on the road.

Anyone know how many of the 4,856 were students and how many were alumni, Denton, or Dallas residents?

Great to see we draw almost 5K when UNT is on Channel 21!!! I wonder if channel 21 will pick up any more games? If publicized you'd think channel 21 rates would get a bump.

I'm in Houston so it's Channelsurfing or Mean Green Premium feed for me.

The crowd looked great tonight. Fans were spread out all over the Coliseum. Pit Crew was out in force again also. They all got a good show tonight. I hope everyone comes back February 3 against FIU.

The crowd was amazingly into this game, including the Pit Crew... it really turned into blow out at the end of the first half, but the everyone kept the volume loud, harassed the refs, and generally contributed energy and chaos to the game... fun game... hopefully we carry the momentum on our next road game.

Lots of the 5k in attendance were pee wee basketball kids. There was some kind of special tonight.

If they do that again, they need to put the kids in their own section and not sitting with donors/season ticket holders. I'm usually pretty laid back, but I have to admit that kids playing next to me and jabbing me in the side for 2 hours nearly led to child abuse.

Outside of that, great game. The contested half court shot where Dominique had to adjust mid-shot...just amazing. If the team can keep improving from what was on display tonight, then we might see a third tournament appearance in five years. :thumbsup:

Thanks for everyone's response!! Here's what I'm trying to figure out. How many paid attendance and what is the amount of revenue a well attended game brings into the AD. I would assume students get in for free. If so, then wanted to know percentage of students against paid crowd IE aluimni, Denton, and Dallas residents. 40% students to 60% paid attendance? Past that how much are the tickets (I need to go look at athletic site to find out this info.). Then factor how many at the game purchase concession and other UNT gear and then try to determine profit margin on these purchases. This will give me a rough estimate of revenue on a good night, great night, poor night of attendance. Sooner or later someone's going to have to pony up and pay Johnny Jones his true worth. UNT is starting to do this on FB side of things, but that team hasn't produced squat in relation to the $$$. Only reason UNT is putting the cart before the horse regarding FB is new stadium and reasonable salary to get coach with reasonable resume.

Johnny's produced mightily and in my mind UNT hasn't ponied up to the bar to take care of JJ. :growl:

One thing I forgot to mention... George showed some new moves tonight... At least twice, he made very quick drives to the basket from about the free throw line... he looked really good... and surprisingly really, really fast... basically bursting to the basket... my buddy and I both commented at the same time that we hadn't seen that from George before...

There was one move where he was so surprised how well it worked, he stood there for a second before getting the shot off and ended up getting blocked. :lol:

Haven't they redone his contract a couple of times already? Extensions, etc...

Yes...but still underpaid for what JJ has done and continues to do recruiting wise. A Big 6 BCS conference school that sucks in BB is going to come a calling and throw ton o money JJ's way. Auburn almost did it last year. Don't know why deal didn't go through. My only hope is RV ponies up and JJ really wants to build something special here at UNT. JJ train is gaining steam everyday, so maybe JJ wants to be at UNT for the long run. JJ's not being compensated nearly as well as Coach Mac., but Johnny's produced. Not saying coach Mac. won't just saying JJ has already and is producing. If I were him I'd be looking for the money. It's not like collage coaching for JJ is new or something, so I doubt a little criticism at a high profile school will affect JJ's ability to recruit and coach moving forward.

Go Mean Green!!

OH, I agree that something needs to float JJ's way and I'm sure they will extend or give some kind of compensation (like in the past) to JJ in the off season. RV goes to every game, so I'm positive he know JJ is producing. I haven't seen one detail posted from his current contract.

For Now, JJ would probably agree that the focus needs to be on getting the team getting the highest possible SBC seed and making it back to the NCAA.

Florida Atlantic is looking good, WKU might be figuring it out, and we have to go through the Pioneers twice still. Let's focus on that and enjoy the ride. I'm sure RV is taking care of that stuff, because that's what he's paid to do.

It's not often I will come to P1's defense , but :

There was a promotion for kid's basketball teams going on last night. Most did not wear their team' s jersey , but I'd say probably 50 or so did. They were all on in the upper section. I know a guy who coaches a team who brought 3 kids and another guy who brought 10. It was nice , because if it not for the promotion those folks probably wouldn't have came.I'd say overall there were at least 150 or so kids who came out from area bb teams

      He could be a really good example of the rich getting richer if his draft stock stays low due to his age. Imagine a team like Dallas, Boston, Denver, or OKC getting him late in the first round and bringing his energy off the bench for the next few years. I'd hate for my team to go against him.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      This could be our Deion Sanders hire or our Trent Dilder hire. Definitely could be a huge hit or a massive miss. If UNT wants a circus, I got my popcorn ready.

      Not a good day for the Big East either. These "ranked" teams losing big just show how unreliable early season rankings are. Wonder if UConn will be ranked after 3 straight loses.

      He’s the HC. Who’s to stop him from making the final decisions? He does it because he can and he’s got free reign. These are just some of the poor HC tactics he’s made. Regarding missing two FGs the last game, one was on the kicker and the other on EM. The second miss was due to the FH team getting out late. Probably coz he was unsure whether to go for it or not. Then he scoots the unit out late. You hate to rush things like that.

      AAC News: New Rice HC, Scott Abell

      I think running the triple option is a genius move by Rice. I’ve always wanted North Texas to do it and believe it will be even more effective in today’s NIL/transfer portal environment. If Rice gets a great triple option QB, he is less likely to be poached by the P4. Why would they need a triple option QB? Running the triple option, Rice can use smaller, more athletic offensive linemen who are easier to acquire and retain as these type of players are also in less demand by the P4. You do need good running backs, but this is the easiest position to acquire and many good running backs would be excited to play in this offense. A triple option offense also shortens a game and can give a “less talented” team a better chance to win by limiting the possessions and opportunities of the other team (See North Texas basketball) Good move by Rice. This differentiates them and I believe it will be successful. Maybe UNT’s next coach can bring the slot-T offense (which is wildly successful right now in Texas high schools) back to major college football?
