I remember reading a tweet from the NT Daily Sports guy that it was 15k something.

I'm not worried about attendance.

What did bug me though was how many people left after halftime. You have to be able to retain the people you already have there.

Amazing game though.

I don't know the exact figure but I believe that it was reported to be around 16,000 as our average dropped from 20K to 18K.

A lot of the sturdents did not leave at the half but moved over to the alumni side to be in the shade. The west stands had a lot more people in the second half.

However, without the rally in the last minute of the first half it would have been hard to blame them for leaving It was almost like watching your kid getting beaten toa pulp.

But those who were there got fired up and made noise at the end, whether that directly resulted in those two penalties or not, it happened. I wasn't surprised at all by the student turnout given the melting in the sun factor. And, yes, I saw several show up on the west side at the half even though a number did just leave at the half, as predicted.

Regardless of the attendance, that was the most enjoyable game for me that I have attended in a very long time. I am now very excited for my trip to Georgia to hang with some family and a lot of Georgia alums.

Question... Does anyone have a problem when students move to the alumni side? To me it spreads out the crowd, but as long as I have my seat in the 50 I am good. I just know that all the hook games really police the seating. They. Heck constantly from start to finish to make sure people are in their correct seat. Asking 3 or 4 times to see tickets throughout the game. The "workers" who we have never seem to do that. I am just curious about the thoughts on that. I am happy that we gets fans to the game, but should students stay on the student side? Or is it ok to go to paid seats and sit there....

When the heat is a factor as it was yesterday, I would rather see students seek the shade than leave early or not even show up.

The main reason this bothers me is because it seriously makes me feel bad for the players. No one wants to play in front of a crowd like that, let alone on tv. I think it's pretty defeating for them to come out and see that. That's all. I want better for them, because they deserve it.

That's just not something we can control. I would like to have bigger attendance but that doesn't make me feel bad for the players if it's simply not there. The players themselves know what they're up against especially when choosing to come to a situation that NT is in. Just keep on winning and that tide will turn eventually.

I didn't get up there yesterday, but I looked up at my seats on the Club level a couple of times, and it seemed like that was the fullest I have seen the Club stands. Was the Club indoors area busy also?

Pretty average club level attendance. No big lines for anything.

I was really excited with the atmosphere in the club when we opened Apogee against Houston. Sadly, there hasn't been a game like that since then. I know it was Apogee opening, but it showed what could be if people cared and this team would win consistently.

Hell, Apogee wasn't even sold out that day.

Sorry, off track, but it was pretty standard attendance up there.

The student side was abysmal. Use heat as an excuse once but not again when it's ten degrees cooler. If they can't turn out by the Rice game, then there is a serious problem! I was born in Texas work my ranch in one hundred five degree heat and don't wear short pants like our band.

The Rice game is on Halloween, that game will not be packed

      Should our AD & President make a statement?

      Just do to them what UNLV did to Fresno St. this past weekend after UNLV was left in the MWC.

      Those four stayed because the PaC didn’t pay the conference buyouts. That’s it.

      Should our AD & President make a statement?

      How about good old fashioned bulletin board material. And when we start beating them and the game is in hand start chanting AAC. They can thank us later for keeping them from making a brutal mistake. Now I would be on the horn with San Antonio. Schedule a margarita zoom or invite their AD to La Gloria in the Pearl District for a little catch-up. Jared should look their AD in the eye and say, you know we play better together. Force the North Texas South Texas angle in the future. An athletic handshake if you will. If San Antonio doesn’t agree, stop at a bbq joint in San Marcos. You know the drill. Those 4 could have looked at this at a more macro level to power a strong deal. But that would be too much bipartisanship in this day and age. Plus maybe they just didn’t want to be like the PAC and attempt to destroy a conference on the way out. Or they realized it was ultimately fools gold out there. Just beat them this year and make the others realize there is hot potential in North Texas. GMG

      ***OFFICIAL TULSA vs UNT IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Yes. 2017, 2018, and a bit of 2022. Lots of wins against teams we should beat and very few (none?) against solid teams and/or big games. So far, we were completely blown out in the most significant game of the year. I certainly hope it doesn’t happen again, but the heart of the schedule - especially versus Army - has that potential. Let’s see if this defense has started to really turn around or if the recent results are due to subpar opponents. The defense, as we all know, will determine the season.

      Are the DMN sports folks SMU homers?

      What’s a newspaper?
