    Ah yes, the ever present “people don’t come to watch our team, they come to watch the other team” argument

    Look I wish we had 10,000 Emmitts in the stands but the simple fact is we don't... And if you can't see the apples and oranges argument with hosting ODU versus hosting LSU then I don't know how to better convey that obviously opponents do matter. The Benford era sucked the life out of the student section. I was really excited to see that some students made the trip to Ruston. I feel like the Mean Green Maniacs are on the come up again and that as their ranks swell more and more students will become aware. Grant and his teams certainly deserve better attendance.

    I'm not going to say I stopped watching when we were down 17... But feeding the kiddo became the bigger priority. So when I looked back to see we were down four I want going to talk to anybody about it.

    Unbelievable win. These guys are crazy. I hope the pit is rocking for the next home game.

    Same. I went to the dog park to take my mind off of it. Then looked at my phone to see we had the lead with 4 secs left. I looked for anyone to talk to about it, not seeing any regulars, mentioned it to one woman...who was listening to the game on the way to the dog park lol!

    I would love to order hockey jerseys for fans, maybe in conjunction with their club team uniform order. Besides boosting their fan following, It could even put a little extra money to help cover team costs.

    These look great, and would be even better with a larger eagle and laces.

     

    Imagine rocking one of these at a Stars game?

    My Bride bought it through the North Texas Hockey Club a few seasons ago when they ordered their uniforms.

    She always finds some kind of unusual North Texas item for my birthday every year.

    Oh yeah the hockey club has some badass gear. Yeah I saw it on TV and it definitely stood out

    Anyone ever consider that NT may just not have the money for a $2m buyout?   

    If the major donors don't want to contribute, where does NT get that kind of money to pay Littrell and hire a HC that projects better than Seth.  They certainly didn't swing for the fences with their volleyball hire. 

    There is also a chance that Littrell can turn the program around.  NT was mostly non-competitive in the Bowl game, but finished the regular season strong. 

    I will support the program no matter who the coach is and I suspect most of those that want Littrell gone also will. 

    I don't follow the logic that who is coaching is more important than the team's success.  If the team is bad, it is not going to get a lot of support no matter whom is head coach.

    It is exactly this. Our donors are being fleeced for donations to upgrading facilities and we have another massive one with the Athletic Center in progress.  Those same donors are not happy about mediocre football but at the same time are being asked for millions to go towards these upgrades that... only strengthen the program's ability to recruit better talent.  

    We can't offset these requests with revenue from football games (absence of attendance) so hence the conundrum. 

    *Edit Don't listen to King.  I know more than he does 😉

    This is the most embarrassed I've been as a Shocker fan in a very long time.

    You would think that barely beating Jacksonville State at home might be a little more embarrassing than losing to the team that knocked off Purdue last year in the tourney. 

    Or maybe even losing to the powerhouse Louisiana Tech in 2018. I guess they just don't care to research their opponents.
