How does this rank with the other HOD games?

bleedgreen4ever · January 1, 2014

That is great considering UNLV had what…less than 2k fans probably. Mean Green Nation showed up..today couldn't have gone any better. The future is bright…the sleeping giant is starting to wake up!

Are you being serious? They won't ask UNLV to come back.

UNTFan23 · January 1, 2014

No way. We single handedly carried the attendance for the game. We might have sold more tickets then an other school they has attended past games.

What a stupid comment. There were more actual people in the seats than most of the other HoD games, we won convincingly, sold two allotments, and brought local recognition to the bowl. Give me a break. Had UNLV brought fans, there's a good chance we would have hit 50K. 36K fans is very convincing and better than what most BCS teams bring to bowl games. I think this should be our NOLA Bowl (like ULL.) You can bet as soon as we hit 6 they'll be on the phone again.

What is stupid is people not understanding sarcasm, don't you think?

I saw a dude chugging on a bottle of Jack at halftime over by the band bus, any relation? Seriously, this was a great showing by NT. They will be begging us to come back, especially if it's against an AQ opponent next time around. We did well in every phase of the game both on and off the field. I couldn't be happier at this stage of the game.

Sorry that I can't tell that was sarcasm based off of the tone of his voice from a text post.

NT brought 95% of the fans. If anyone gets a HoD snub next year, it's UNLV.

JimKlenke · January 1, 2014

I've been to each game, Houston had the most, this one was close with last year. They must have changed the way they announce, sold/distributed vs actual. Last year they were recognizing groups over the PA, like the boy scouts, in sections where there were no people. Also, it was windy and cold on the hard camera side last year. By the second quarter it was almost empty, but you probably couldn't see that on TV. They also used to do the seats like Texas/OU split at the 50, this year was a traditional set up. I was worried in that first half, honestly it was boring and other than a few chants, the crowd seemed dead. Y'all picked it up in the second half and I'm sure they would love to have UNT back. They just need a better traveling opponent.

meangreener · January 1, 2014

We hit30k and the team hit9.

What a season.

What a great showing from Mean Green Nation... So proud of our fans and this football program.

UNTcrazy727 · January 1, 2014

Would have been interesting to see what attendance could have been with a Big 10 opponent. 55k?

That was me. Just wanted to get your hair up.

Probably. Maybe 60.

Impressive either way.

Proud of the team. It was a team win. I went down on the field after the game looking for future players such as Rollins, Pegram, etc. Granted most I spoke with today didn't play, but I wanted to make sure players knew that people had expectations and high ones at that. Of the players I talked to they were nothing short of absolutely respectful. I am 26 years young and from every player I spoke with today it was yes sir and no sir and I am not even old enough to consider myself a "sir." Coach Mac is doing a good job on the field and from my experience today he is doing an outstanding job off the field as well.

Ben Gooding · January 2, 2014

As far as attendance, if a big 10 school could have filled their slot there would have been an easy 60k there today, easy. Especially if it was a local big 10 school such as Nebraska.

Just asking, but does anyone think that the outgoing president of UNLV/incoming president of UNT was responsible for the Rebels getting an invite out of the blue?

I do love how classy our guys are. The only time they scrapped was with that cheap shot on Chancellor. They're such great kids, proud to have them representing us. They are a family, appreciative, fiery, determined and classy. No quit. That's how football should be.

It makes for an interesting story line.

North Texas Shep · January 2, 2014

They would love to have us back! UNLV will never get an invite again unless they win the MWC. Good job Mean Green nation. Way to show up and represent.

NorthTexan95 · January 2, 2014

I don't. I think it's a case of CUSA working with the MWC to help them out.
