Can I just facepalm this thread entirely?

Bullshit. If we were TCU or any other """big"""" school we'd have no problem selling out a 30K stadium. Really? Was not like that last year against ULL. Line wrapping through library mall for ticke

*Walks to center of stage* *spotlight shines* *Steps on top of soap box* I, Cerebus, am an idiot. Student attendance was incredible. (But I think it will be down the last two home games

Wow. You were on campus last year? Congrats.

Friday is green pride day, and it was great last friday. ULL night last year I saw much more NT gear.

I've been all over campus today and seen hundreds of students and only see a handful of NT clothing items.

You've been all over campus and only seen hundreds of students? That is more disturbing than seeing only a handful in NT clothing. We have over 35K students, where the hell are they? Ditching class to tailgate?

They are usually in classrooms, or the library, or some other buildings... They don't tend to herd into great clearings.

They learned from the Buffalo how dangerous that is.

I'm guessing they all headed to University and Hillcrest.

Not worried about student turnout. They'll be fine.

REALLY worried about alumni and families with kids turning out. Apogee really transforms when the wing-zone has some amount of fans down there and I just think it's going to be a barren wasteland down there tonight.

Just hope the players aren't crushed when they come out to find a half-full stadium. As others have said, the attendance issue doesn't fix itself overnight. It's going to take a few years of consistent winning to get the crowds to really fill in.

I am pumped for this game. I agree with Zach Orr. This is the biggest game at UNT since 2004. I'll be there, sans wife and kids (and I'll be paying for skipping Halloween later), but managed to find enough people to fill their would-be empty seats.

I am also really worried about alumni turnout and was hoping for students to cover the shortfall.

I will have to amend something though, I just talked to a couple of people in the ticket office and they are "very busy", so hopefully day of sales are going to be stronger than I expected.

Well, golly gee, I just walked in to Kerr for lunch and it's 2/3 Green/Black (with UNT logos.)

Semi hijack- is it true that they renovated Kerr cafeteria and that it does not suck anymore?

I'm not worried about this evidence because 1) students are probably not going straight from campus to game, especially those with AM classes, so they will probably go home and change. 2) costumes - I believe there will be a ton of costumes tonight.

That is something I had not thought of. Hope springs.

Kerr has been renovated, Bruce has been renovated and is currently being expanded.

Neither are the Reata, but they do not suck, and for dorm food they are awesome.

"There are several issues and risks that will cause the project to go one day past its projected end date." or "I'm going to the game. Suck it."

Crisis averted. I found someone below me to dump it onto. Sadly it means he now won't be at the game...

Right now I'm worried about the windfall for the Mean Green Tailgaiting Machine and my own 5 year old pop up.

I just had my creative writing professor remind everyone to go to the game like 4 times so I think we'll be alright if a creative writing professor is harassing English students to attend.

Also, Kerr has been renovated but still sucks. They still burn the hell out of taco meat, overcook noodles, bathe pizza in grease and fill the place up with smoke because they don't clean the grill when making burgers.

Much like we wanted to know who the idiot Baylor fan in the accounting department was.... who is your English Prof? Glad to hear that at least some professors are promoting.

That sounds like a worker problem. Good facilities don't fix that.

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      Please move if needed, posting here as it's related to NIL and is probably more applicable to football than basketball. Miami basketball head coach is resigning. The following are quotes that should be of concern to any fan but especially some of your blue blood programs. What happens when you can no longer outspend your peers so your legendary coaches leave? Saban was the most name worthy retirement but there's been plenty others and here's another big name leaving. NIL will be reeled in when the big money boosters lose their favorite coaches, no longer see the wins on their records, and see they can no longer just money-whip their way to success. From the Miami Herald: “At this point, after 53 years, I just didn’t feel that I could successfully navigate this whole new world that I was dealing with because my conversations were ridiculous with an agent saying to me, `Well, you can get involved [with a prospective player] if you’re willing to go to $1.1 million, and that would be the norm.” ... “What shocked me beyond belief was after we made the Final Four just 18 months ago, the very first time I met with the players, eight of them decided they were going to put their names in the portal and leave. “I said, `Don’t you like it here?’ They’d say, `I love Miami, it’s great.’ But the opportunity to make money someplace else created a situation that you have to begin to ask yourself, as a coach, what is this all about?’’ He added that he tried “every which way” to make things work, but “last year was a disaster”, and this year was not going well, either. He felt the new players were not buying in as transfers had in years prior." https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article297597538.html

      Breaking: Cash McCollum Enters Portal

      Bringing in Poffenberger, signing Jimerson and Mestemaker returning, Cash probably realized he wasn’t going to get any playing time here soon. Best of luck to him.
