If we are looking for bright spots the fan support has been good this year. If we could even field a decent CUSA team in the cominig years I think we will be impressed by our fan support. The rest of the season will see low attendance but that is ok. Our fans have not seen winning football in almost a decade, I don't blame people for not showing up. But, they prove time and again they are out there and they want something to cheer about. Build just a decent football team and the fans will be there.

People will come Ray, people will most definitely come.

Road games are awesome 'cause you get the most passionate fans. Everyone sang the fight song. We were even loud for the National Anthem. Sat low near the band. The band director is a funny guy. Cracked me up with several comments.

You have a point...but do you mean to say that the fans who live in Houston and any other "away city" and show up for the one game in their area are more passionate than the ones who buy season tickets and attend home games because they cannot for whatever reason travel? Interesting perspective you have, but will say that you have to love the way UNT's traveling fan base is growing. I think UNT's CUSA affiliation will see many others travel to away games as the travel "do-able" for many more fans...as a general rule than with Sunbelt cities.

Thanks to all the great fans who traveled to Houston to support the Mean Green. Well done and thank you!

Excellent crowd on the road Saturday! This was a great showing and hopefully an example of what we can expect in C-USA at La Tech, Rice, Tulsa, and UTEP.

Bias here, but I'm really excited to share a conference with UTEP. They have a tremendous alumni base in DFW and could really add to a Denton game day atmosphere.

I brought my family and two friends to the game. My wife and girls were entertained by the band. The director is actually pretty funny with his comments during the game. I can tell you that the sprit was high considering we were getting drilled by their offense. At least we had some exciting plays and until midway through the 3rd it looked like we had some kind of chance. That drive right ater the half gave me some hope. I am in agreeement with some here on why we stoped running around the end since they had the box stacked.

Their stadium was is not much better than fouts. Concessins were a joke. That area of campus feels like a concrete city to me. Sure they will get something nice for the new design. North Texas is a much nicer campus.

My favorite was when he would say (in a very matter of fact tone...as if he were ordering food at a fast food restaurant) "I think I'd like a touchdown now". I almost stood up one time and said "would you like fries with that order?".......... B)

      Women vs. South Florida (1/11/25)

      The first 32 or so minutes of the game was the best ball we've played all year considering the opponent. When we were up 20 I was looking at USF's roster and stats to see if they were missing anyone big and they weren't. We looked like the men at Memphis once they started the full court trap though. Ugly finish, but it's another W. Now we've got defending conference champ Rice at home Wednesday night. Come on people, get to the Pit!

      Denton, America ???

      Eh ? Eh ? I haven’t missed a home game this season. I spoke with Rob before the Rice game. “What’s up with the ‘Denton, America?’ I asked.” As I said, he said, “I just read what THEY give me.” No,Teeth. I don’t think I got it backwards.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      We should stay and build the AAC with other programs who want out? Why? We should be proactive and try to bounce now, to the PAC if possible, with a few other regional members. The argument to me isn't PAC vs AAC today, it's PAC vs AAC in 5 to 10 years if the three you mentioned get their wish and move to the ACC before then. If Tulane, USF, and Memphis move on, we'll be basically be right back in CUSA. Then we'll be crying about how we didn't do anything to get into a better conference or how we've again been left behind.

      Transfer Portal Hits Post Bowl Game

      If he was so bad at RB why would he start in front of 4 healthy scholarship RB’s? Granted trying to recruit better players is standard for every school in the country. I think UNT signed a couple high school RB’s and one RB from the portal so far. The portal player was a second string RB at Missouri State who was behind a 3rd string RB transfer from K State. No one is saying Porter was Eric Dickerson but he was obviously the best choice according to the coaches and second best was McGill who played well and is younger but he still isn’t on scholarship either. So the “walk on for us” theory doesn’t fit when your best two RB’s were walk on’s. My biggest issue was the fact he wanted to stay. You lose staring QB, best TE,WR and O lineman but your leading rusher wants to stay and you let him walk? Maybe they will find a stud RB but for the 2024 season UNT’s most productive RB’s were both walk ons. What’s that say about the coaches evaluation of scholarship players?

      I thought they only had 5 days after the bowl game to enter.
