I try not to think about anything but the present in this new age of NIL and the portal. Enjoy the team we have this year. Lorient will be able to get a ton of money from a power 5 school for his last year of eligibility so just have fun watching him play for the Mean Green!

Where else would a program that has won a CBI and NIT title in the last decade, while also having a win in the actual NCAA Tournament, plus having a winning record AGAIN, need to even worry about getting an extra boost to come watch the team play a conference game in mid-to-late January? The simple answer is nowhere. The Denton excuse that I hate hearing is that there is just too much to do in the Metroplex...no, not on a Wednesday night on a cold night there isn't. But I've been clearly told it's because our marketing/promotions suck and if people just knew that we were good, the place would double in attendance. Sometimes, the fact is that you can lead the hose to water, but you can't make it drink. As for my ideas, it would be to meet the people where they are. Have the College of Music and Arts setup exhibits in the Super Pit's concourse. Have the UNT Drumline perform at halftime and at the end of the game. See if you can get people to come watch them and see if it gets them interested in that athletic thing going on. Now, I realize that the Deans of those Colleges may not want to help nor do anything to help and that would basically cement the argument that nothing will ever work here because of the culture. But it's worth a shot and it would cost nothing. Have a battle of the frats and who can get the best turnout/energy for the game...do the same thing with the sororities, too, at another game. But whatever you do, don't blame the locals and the students...that's CLEARLY hurtful and mean.

Different coaches that what he'll see Sunday as the former HC, Dusty May, is now at Michigan. If I'm not mistaken, there's only one player on FAU's roster who was there last season. Everybody else is new.

The rematch in Philly the last game of the regular season is going to be a tough one. That game will probably mean a lot in the seeding for both teams.

One game at a time.
