Good game, and hopefully all the banged up players aren't anything serious. We both seem to be really struggling with that. Hopefully you guys can get things figured out the rest of the year, or that you can make some excellent changes in the off season. We'll be going up to Laramie in a couple of years, so let's make it a good one. 🍻
Stats that tell the story of the game, in my opinion:
1- 244 yards | Wyoming’s total offense
2- 69 yards | Wyoming’s yards rushing
4- 4-4 | UNT’s 4th Down efficiency
5- 0 | turnovers for either team AND Wyoming points in the second half
6- 4-6 | Wyoming 2nd half possessions that ended in 3 and outs; 1 of the other two was 4 plays
7- 120 | Porter’s rushing yardage in his first career staft
The Alumni Pavilion seems like the quintessential poorly managed UNT asset.
The changes to Verde catering the food for the past two or three seasons have sucked, in my opinion. And it's not just for alumni; unless it went back to that this season, anyone can come in and get food. A few of the Advancement people got hot on Twitter about justifying this change when it was done. I won't pretend I think the Alumni Association gives any member or prospective member a reason to join; the Alumni Pavilion used to be one of the most tangible things you could benefit from.
The two patios are baking in the sun. The west-facing patio did get sun shades in the past few seasons; the newer east patio cut into the hill has no shade, and you get almost no breeze since the hill it is cut into stops a good bit of airflow. At a minimum, they need to add the sail sun shades to the east side, too.
At the game today, the Alumni Pavilion was playing coffee house-esque heavy instrumental covers of songs. I didn't know whether to clap or snap at the end of songs. If I had a small chair and pillow, I could have taken a nap to the musician. I know we're a "Music School," but do we have to play folksy Americana-sounding music on game day at the Alumni Pavilion? You could put in a cheap 70v commercial audio system and play some high-energy music on two speakers pointing on each of the three exterior sides of the building and 2-4 inside the building.
I'd buy a brick, but I figured it would end up in a stack only to be put in when they expand in a decade.
The Alumni Association needs to be stripped down to the studs and have the whole board re-appointed. Non-football events have become non-existent, and the ones we go to (like the Dallas Perot Museum night this past week) seem like big misses because of the lack of organization.
