Billboard

[AstroMike]

There is a new sign on a billboard on I-35 South as you are coming from Gainesville and nearing Valley View promoting "The New Mean Green Football Season." I found a smaller version of this in the local Gainesville Daily Register newspaper. They are certainly trying to get the word out for this year.

Good find. I think it is smart for the athletic department to target the Gainsville area. It has a sizable population with many UNT grads, and we are the closest FBS program around. That's not too far of a Saturday drive for a good afternoon of fun. We need to challenge SMU and TCU for fans in Dallas and Fort Worth, but I hope they target the Decatur area too. Building fan bases in Gainsville and Decatur could create a significant increase in attendance. In those communities, there are no other local sports institutions to challenge us for fan loyalty. Many of their high school graduates will attend UNT. We should be the local college football team they support.
