This is potentially only the tip of an iceberg.  The Mean Green is a sleeping giant.  Time for it to wake up.

We are that, greenminer.

To answer the question, it was extremely loud during the Apogee opening game against Houston.   Don’t recall if there was a North-Texas chant, but the volume was up so much, especially on 3rd downs, that Houston’s O-Line would jump early, on several occasions. Their QB (Case Keenan) would get visibly frustrated and motion to his bench that he can’t hear.   Also recall that after the game, Case Keenum stating in the press conference “we were not anticipating the energy that this place and fans put out, so it gave us some trouble at points in the game...”

So it’s more proof that although Apogee might not be the biggest place, but the acoustics are just right.  All we need is volume, which comes from fans.   Everyone bring a friend this week. A LOUD friend .  

Go Mean Green!

WHY ALL THE ATTENDANCE TALK TO A LEVEL OF  AD NAUSEAM AT TIMES?  

HERE'S WHY?

Many of us on this forum played Texas HS football and we're still playing it, but through these young men who wear the Mean Green.

My first 3 years (frosh were eligible) our team was mediocre, our W/L record worse & the crowds after the home season opener would dwindle.  It was depressing to us that our own home town fans did not care to show up.  My Senior year we turned our football program around with a winning season. Our town of 900 would somehow grow to 2,000 on Friday Nights at our stadium.  Our team noticed the support & we played with some extra adrenaline it seems.  Nevertheless, it all translated to wins.

Our Mean Green football players were ecstatic  & fully appreciated last weekend's crowd.  First thing Seth Littrell said in his post-game remarks was about the great attendance & fan support.  It's a numbers game at the turnstiles & the best college football programs all wear their turnstiles out.

GMG!

I would love to get fans in the stands as the Mean Green come onto the field.  As was shown in the Va Tech clip.  Many North Texas fans lack the urgency to be in the stadium prior to kickoff.  I wish that would change but it's going to take each fan encouraging each fan to get to Apogee in plenty of time to hear the National Anthem.  

And Im so tired of Morth Texas being referred to as a sleeping giant.  There is no better atmosphere than the home team entering the field to a boisterous fan base.

When YOU played high school football, was that town with a population of 900 called Dallas and did you wear the skins of vanquished raccoons for helmets? Did they show the time remaining in a quarter via sundial? Record the score with Roman numerals chiseled into stone plates?

Not to beat a dead horse, but what makes the casual fans want to be in the stadium early?  There is no pregame atmosphere whatsoever from the band to the team entrance.  Its just the band running onto the field, playing a song or two, haphazardly lining up, team coming out to nothing in-particular, then the band just wondering back off the field to get into the stands.  

Give em something like Va Tech, dotting the I at Ohio State, The smoke in Miami, TD Jesus at ND, Bevo or Ralphie at Texas and Colorado, the Eagle at Auburn, etc.............

If a school with a Tiger for a mascot can have an eagle, why can't we? Can we get a bald eagle sanctuary on campus somewhere? That would be so cool! Students could vote to name them, they could fly around before the game or during halftime, and kids could go visit them before the game! Who do I need to throw money at to make this a thing?

A lot of federal regulation about keeping Bald Eagles.  Spoke with someone who works with live eagles and they stated it would probably take a commitment of several million to build a suitable habitat, and then upkeep would be in the 100k's range per year.

We were one of the first in 2 a days during my Sophomore year that used this new green powder stuff (we called it green 'sheee'it") you mixed in an Igloo water cooler which was developed at the University Florida.

    1. 0

      A few HSO's

      1: One big problem with the NIL (aka pay for play) is that the universities are what draw the fans, not the players. People argue that "they deserve a piece of the pie", etc., but the big money comes from rabid fans and alumni of the schools, not from fans wanting to watch certain players. I wish they would form a minor league football and see how much interest there is...wait, we already have that. It's called the XFL, USFL, UFL and the players don't make much money ($5,500/wk) and there aren't many fans at the games. Put the Rengades in Alabama uniforms and the Stallions in Auburn uniforms and you'd sell out AT&T stadium. Why, because the players don't matter, the universities are what matter (as it pertains to attendance). Another example is the NBA D-League. What kind of money are those guys making? (I'll save you the Google search, they make $25K/yr). I have to assume that's peanuts compared to many of the NIL deals players are getting. If you want to get paid, go pro. Nobody is making you go to college to get a free education that will benefit you for the rest of your life. 2: I hate the argument that "coaches make big money and can leave for another job whenever they want to." See the last two sentences of the previous point. If you want to be able to do that, go pro. Make it your career just like the coaches have done. There are a very limited number of head coaching jobs at the college level and these coaches have put in LONG hours and worked their way up to the positions that they are in. Nobody was giving them millions of dollars when they were a GA busting their tail for nothing.

      Those schools you mentioned have already reached out to The Big 12. Also Louisville and Pitt have 100+ year historic rivalries with Cincy and WVU respectively. Keg of Nails and Backyard Brawl will both be owned by the Big 12 soon enough.

      If they wanted to join the ACC, they would have joined with Cal and Stanford. We already tore the Pac 12 apart, the ACC is next.

      Well that eliminates one game I can go to. Senior ceremony is also going to be after the second game tomorrow. Hate that weather is getting in the way of this most accomplished senior class in our softball program's history.
