I think opening the season at home will bring a ton of energy to Denton.

I think the team will show up ready to play and please the crowd with a solid win.

I think the 100 year celebrations will be a hit.

Question is...has the AD done enough to sell out Apogee and capitalize on it all? If we want to sell out Apogee, we market the "A" Train in conjunction with UNT football. I will have a longer and more detailed rant on this subject later.

My guestimate is: 24,600 (cooler weather and it would be more).

And I also believe the east student side will almost be full if not full.

Wonder how Family Plan sales went for the Wing Zone? If that section ever

became full for most every game our average attendance numbers would become

dramatically higher. It's the best college football ticket deal in the Metroplex for

a family of 4 so why not?

GMG!

PS: More overall interest?

Just look at so many more on GMG.com who are posting or merely

looking at posts and I think that even translates to more out there who have no idea

this forum exists. I credit all this to CUSA membership plus our UNT constituency

just keeps on getting larger, larger, larger and larger.

Addendum:

Interest once again? There have been almost 800 on this forum in the last 2 or so hours and this

has to be close to some kind of record for GMG.com. Harry?

If North Texas were playing Texas Tech (as SMU is now on ESPN) you would see our first S.R.O. crowd of about 35,000 (give/take) or...how many more the fire marshall would allow at Apogee.

Doesn't it make you wonder why we NEVER get a marque team into Apogee?

It should,

Not sure it's bringing much energy to Denton outside of UNT. Have been driving and around town all week and if you didn't know there was a game tomorrow, pretty certain you wouldn't realize it being around the downtown for sure. Shocked at how little promotions there are down town with so many now living there. And to think this is a huge celebration.

28K. I've heard they had to overflow students. There's a lot of buzz around this game. Just had a random customer at work tell me he was bringing 10.

Students will be here in force. Frankly, I wouldn't even be surprised with UH level attendance.

People are football crazy right now, people are underestimating how many people want to see live football, throwback uniforms, anniversary, Worm, first game of the season...way underestimating how many people will be at this game. There's a lot of buzz.

There was plenty of people at the SMU game despite the heat.

At my Hudson Oaks (Weatherford) Walmart, the guy behind the deli saw my Mean Green shirt the other day and he said his UNT freshman daughter and her UNT friends were fired up about going to the game at Apogee Stadium He said if he didn't have to work he would have come up for the game himself.

Do parents of UNT students still get a discount?

I think the UNT student body who will by the 2'nd quarter fill the entire east stadium will cause Idaho to have to call a couple of time outs they will get so loud.

There will be good attendance on both sides.

      Texas State Gets MWC Offer

      I really don't see Toledo and NIU leaving the MAC....for a bunch of games in the Mountain and Pacific and Hawaii time zones. But......they might be tired of Tuesday-Wednesday night football games every November.

      Purdue fires Graham Harrell

      The biggest programs in college football hire guys like this as analysts. There's no such thing as being "good on offense." Bring him in and have him do nothing but scout the defenses of Memphis, Tulane, and Army so the top decision makers can gain as much knowledge on those opponents and game plan appropriately. Don't need him to coach, don't need him on the field. Just game plan. If somebody gets hired away this offseason, he's here to promote if needed.

      Are the DMN sports folks SMU homers?

      DFW area football culture is front running. As the sports culture in general. People forget the only reason that meat gazing owner could afford to buy the team was that it was losing money. Not having a losing season for a decade was not enough to keep a few home games being blacked out locally because they sucked. So there is some hostility among UNT alumni towards a program that never wins big. And a lot of them don't understand how CFB works. I am sure the AD would love to have a out of conference schedule rotation of playing Texas Tech, Texas, A&M, Oklahoma, OSU, Houston, Arkansas one those 7 teams every year. And they probably would settle an away and "neutral field" (at Jerry World) arrangements with Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and A&M. Those "blue bloods" don't want to do that because eventually they will lose a game and maybe some team depth to us via transfer portal later as fallout. You see a guy like Morris having fun lighting up the scoreboard against your team while you are 3rd string at Big Stuff U watching thinking "coming out of high school I was better than him", the step down doesn't seem so far to get playing time.

      Is this the best team UNT has ever had?

      Slow down. I think I am probably one of Seth's most consistent and toughest critics but this question is being asked far too soon. I will say Chandler Morris is likely the best QB of the modern era. You could grade on a curve and say Fine had less talent around him. He definitely is more physically talented. Morris should end up with 4000 yards passing with +32 TD. And he might flirt with 70% completions for the season. Reach those numbers Morris should get drafted in the bottom 1/3 of the NFL draft. And maybe even higher if we get into the playoff and the offense makes the game interesting against a big brand school. If we end up in the conference title game or in the last game if the regular season with a greater than 30% chance of getting in the title game, I would take this team over any of Seth's teams. This team is poised to be in the conversation as best team since Dickey's best team. (Landscape is so different now you can't call Dickey's team, modern especially the offense. Just way too early to make that assessment.

      He might see it as a step backwards, but I would love him back here as QB coach. I hope Morris is promoted out of here or at least has an assistant poached for the big time and having replacement already on staff very familiar with Denton, UNT and the surrounding area would be priceless.
