Thanks for your in depth analysis, genius.

I agree, but the sad fact is it's going to take more than 1 good season to get most of our alumni base to support the program. It's not just the past 9 years that hurt the program, but almost all 100

28k, including 10 very confused FedEx drivers. EDIT: announced as 36K.

And runner is going to be the "001" that takes us over the top! :goodjob::lol2:

At my age you tend to repeat, I say repeat, I do say repeat yourself (insert pic of Yosemite Sam)......

......but if Big D would have only copied Fort Worth for what they do with their bowl game annually as a city wide civic project we would be more than happy with the turnstile count on New Years Day; who knows, we still may be. Rice played at Fort Worth last year. Anyone really think the Owls had that many traveling fans to hit over 40K? Advantage > > > >Fort Worth & TCU who made that happen weeks before that game took place.

40,000 bowl fans at Amon Carter Stadium is pert near a sellout in that football venue.

Had we sold the same number of football season tickets Old Dominion & UTSA sold this Fall we would have begun HOD Bowl ticket sales with a head start, ie, a pretty large base of fans along with their season tickets buyer' options for tickets to the historic Cotton Bowl stadium.

There are really many reasons a school at the NCAA FBS level needs to have a large base of such sales with that campaign which should really begin every Spring and into the Summer. UTSA is already selling their 2014 season tickets now with a nice website promo poster. If we by gosh need that school in the Alamo City to shame us into doing what we should have been doing the last 10 to 15 years then so be it. We talking 3 years of football history versus 100, folks. What is wrong with that Y^%%^*POW!^$R@#^$.............picture?

Congrats To Coach DMac & the Mean Green! Yall have done your part!

Latest NYD forecast has a 30% chance of rain. That would really negatively affect turnout.

Yeah, I just saw that, although it appears to be later in the day. Should be fine. Turnout could be really poor if rain hits, would be incredibly embarrassing. We can't catch a break. If weather hits then I'm lowering actual attendance under 20K. Ugh!

For anyone looking to move away from a somewhat stale attendance debate, there is a UNLV team thread available for your perusal:

UNLV is the team we are playing in the bowl game if you didn't know ;-)

I'll be flabbergasted if we get that big old stadium 1/4 full at 11am New Year's Day with this opponent.

Prepare to be flabbergasted!

I'm thinking more in the 40 range, solidly. With ULL and UNC's attendance, no reason we can't compete.

Lot of buzz and high sales. Will be all the more disappointing when we end up drawing 20K again at home.

I'd be content with 40k. That about fills the entire lower bowl and with a bowl of this magnitude or lack there of that is impressive. It'd be real nice to get up there around 60k. 60k would turn heads for future bowl alignments.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
