tailgaiting in the morning, football in the afternoon, walk across the bridge to the pit for basketball in the evening.

This game could be used to entice football fans to get hooked on North Texas basketball as well. Maybe offer free general admission with football ticket? What if there was planned pre-basketball tailgating and 25 cent hot dogs at the game, would the students stay?

That may have worked in the past, not so sure it will work with Benford ball...

Not the way it works around here even with Benford ball. Many say they are not coming back until this or that. Some, but very few, follow through. Granted, there were a couple of guys last season who really did mail their season tix back to the AD which was funny..

Update: After presenting my case in a very persuasive way, I have been allowed to enroll in my final class. Go to hell Northwood.

Great news!!

I won't be investing in season tickets. Doesn't mean I won't come for a game or 2, but not season tickets, not until UNT takes things more seriously.

That is nonsense.... We are putting out a better team this year then last year (assuming we stay injury free). This is a year people should be excited about. The past two years Tony Mitchell drew fans. This year our team will draw some people to the pit.

Attendance in the Benford era peaked early last year. People come to see wins. There wont be many this season.

This type of prediction has been made over and over...some are fond of making such predictions to justify their personal position, but rarely do these predictions ever pan out. Most fans come to watch and support the team and try to help get a win. And, believe it or not, some just enjoy college basketball. We'll see you back on the bandwagon when the wins start piling up this season.

Besides, you have to be there at least once to ay off he bet money you will owe me...$10,000, right?

$50.

I don't have KRAM money. ;-)

And if Benford somehow learns a basic substitution pattern and this team somehow wins, you will see me back. Long, long odds on that. The winning will return after 3 more years of Benford and then another 3years for the program to recover (and that's optimistic).

I have A.D.D., so who knows if I'll be interested by then or not.

The games I come to this year will be for the competition. I will be there for the UTEP game and possibly the Tulsa game, even though I know the chance for a Mean Green win is slight. As for any others?

Meh.

I like the idea of free admission with your football tix.

Also, as to the enrollment issue, for anyone else who faces the problem, usually the way to get in without as much runaround is to take some sort of official paper showing that you need the class (in case they don't already know) to the Graduate Advisor of the department sponsoring the class. That will usually get you the enrollment code you need. If they say no, you can always appeal to the Department Chair and so on.

On the other hand, if there's a cheaper school that fits with your schedule that's not a bad option. I took one Community College class for Astronomy, it was super cheap and after going like 3 times I had enough of the lab work done for an A. Obviously this would be a tougher class than mine, but the point still stands, if any of you need a quick credit, there's no shame in getting it from another school (even a CC) if it works for you.

There once was an alum named UNT90

Who said the a.d. did not think things seriously

He left in a huff

When he should've taken a puff

Maybe he shouldn't take it so personally?

We once argued over basketball

you said I should just give Benford a call

If only Benford and I were friends

we could somehow make amends

but it wouldn't affect wins or losses at all

p.s.: for the record, I said the university. No need to protect your friend when I'm not talking about him.

You are correct we spoke

I said benford is not a joke

Parcells says you are what you are

It appears this guy can't drive a car

Time will tell if it's all just smoke

Most talented team last year

Benford put it in our rear

You say we should wait

and delay our hate

Meanwhile UTA is who teams fear

Thompson trameil and white would like to debate

Line these two up

Turn on the lights

The former would take the freakin cake

Are both teams coached by JJ, Benford, or their actual guys?

You doubt that people are held accountable

That discussions arent held on high

Money is donated with large expectations

By people who are not fool able

The record will dictate the outcome

I doubt when people are extended

because their programs need to be mended

5 years for this?

it all looks like piss

Yet no one needs to be tended?

Not using in bennys favor

Records speak not the sabre

When time passes on this hire

No one will count the desire

Only what facts state on paper

The apologists can see no wrong

Even when the losing streaks become long

Houston Baptist was a joke

The fans' rears took a poke

Yet some are still holding Benny's dong

Is this a good time for "I told you so"?
