Weather looks to have improved. 20% on Weather Channel, most places have it from 20-40%. Also, UNT is really, really pushing to get students at the game. In addition to my campaign, they're giving a

Until I see a "right now" weather map showing rain covering entire state of Texas (like the home game against Ohio), I'm forced to think "no big deal". Even if that happens, wife is out of the country, and would have no chance to look at me wet over 99% of my body (you guess the 1%) and say, "this is insane".

One thing that sucko weather provided back in those days was that, if you left the stands to take temporary shelter in the concessions area, you could not look around without realizing how completely decrepit Fouts was.

Remember that we had a running game that last home game against Muts? Remember that our current team can't catch in the rain? Remember how bad our attendance was for that game?

You better pray it doesn't rain.

Remember this: (1.) Noboby really knows what the weather will be like 4 days from now. (2.) Monsoonal rains like we had at the Ohio game are more common in September.

While I don't want it to rain because of the negative impact it will have on attendance and our passing game, I will say that some of the games I've had the most fun at in the past have been rain games...the three that come to mind are:

1) 2009 vs. Ohio - Despite the final result it was a blast with in the rain with the legitimate few thousand students that showed up.

2) 2011 vs. MTSU - A little on the chilly side, but hopefully we can repeat that demolition of MUTS this Saturday.

3) 2007 vs. WKU - If I remember right we won by 1 point and there was a bit of a scrum afterwards. It was in the mid-30's for temperature and was absolutely miserable, but in those years it was worth the sacrifice to see a W.

Rain or shine what we need is a W.

Go Mean Green!

This. I had just bought a brand new UNT windbreaker. That storm ruined it. Had to exchange it.

One more that sticks out was the lala game in Louisiana. I remember the sheets pouring on us but it was a warm rain and we were kings of the hill at that time just rolling through teams leaving them on the side of the road in our dust. I think we blanked hem 27-0 or something like that.

Back to Saturday no rain please because we need peeps in the stands and a tailgate of epic alcohol proportions to wash down Tulane.

I wonder how many people cancelled their plans to go to New Orleans because of Karen. We almost did, but loaded up on rain gear and didn't feel one drop of rain in three days in New Orleans. NT attendance was bad, but understandable; a lot of money to risk on a trip that might have ended in a cancelled game or a rain soaked time in Nawlins.

Anyway, weather forecast are seldom accurate four days out.

Is this going to be the year of all things weather related hurting attendance? We go from the 100+ game to the sizzle in the sun in the afternoon game to the monsoon game? I really hope the forecasters get the timing wrong and it moves in a bit slower (here's hoping to 10PM or later). For the first time in my six years as a season ticket holder, I was actually able to get 3 people to go to a game with me instead of my normal +1. :) Unfortunately, they are all 70+ years old, so a rainy game may be a deal killer. Grrrr.

It's just the current popular excuse folks have dreamt up for not attending. There will be a new popular excuse next year...count on it.

We had at least 500 there. Not bad considering the cost involved and the fact this team hasn't had a winning season since the current incoming freshmen were in 4th grade.

Not great, but not bad.

The most popular excuse I get when I buy extra tickets and invite people is the losing. We should fix that.

Three drops of rain with a forecast for rain guarantees a poor attendance...welcome to Mean Green football.

I went to the Army/La Tech game a couple weeks back. We managed to almost make it through the first quarter before the second weather delay kicked in. After that the group I was with bolted for a drier location. Had it been a North Texas game I would have stayed but if you're not one of the hardcore fans weather can be a major deterrent for fair weather fans, both in the literal and figurative sense.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
