I got some Marshall fans to terrorize this week, so I'll make this brief... ...forty-four to twenty-one.

I didn't think they were serious about changing the fight song...they actually did it. I don't think this was the right decision.

All tickets on stubhub are sold out, plus people on our board are still scrambling for tickets. I'll take a pic for you today.

Sims messed up his leg against ECU last week and won't play tomorrow so Farrow will get the start instead...in other words, it's up to Piland to lead the team tomorrow.

Dude, leave the apathy in Denton. We're 4-5 and packing the house regardless plus Tulsa isn't a below average team in case you haven't been paying attention.

ACTUALLY, I've been harassing Tulsa fans all week. I assume you'll be at tomorrow's homecoming game, it looks like it will be a sellout or close.

I like how you dodged all of my questions. Game. Set. Match.

I used to be diehard UNT until I got on GMG. Now, I'm becoming a diehard Coog instead. Then why were we a Top 10 team at one time last year? Why did we get a 5 star receiver to decommit from Notre Dame to come to Houston? Why are most of our recruits this year high 3 stars? Then why are our recruits picking us over multiple BCS offers? Then why are we heading to an AQ conference next season? Why do we bring anywhere from 28-32,000 fans a game which UNT has NEVER had before? If we're such a low-level program, the why have we given you back to back 40+ point beatdowns? If we're a low-level program despite what I mention above, then what does that make UNT? Think about what you post before you post it Grandpa.

The truth hurts. In a war like the one going on between the students and alumni, nobody wins. I went to UNT for 2 years, I understand a lot where the students are coming from, using conventional wisdom and character analysis along with empathy, I can see where the alumni are coming from too. There needs to be at the very least, a compromise.

You guys are STILL fighting over this? I'm sorry to say, but if the UH alumni were like the UNT alumni. We wouldn't have this or <---A bunch of Coogs at a Dallas bar did the Coogs house chant. The alumni and admin loved the idea of the new gen coming up with Coogs House, that now all Freshmen are taught it at orientation because it is now a tradition. or http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=EwMVK8qnWlc or the student section also does the "U-H UH!" chant (with pelvic thrusts, which definitely would cause the alumni to go apeshit if UNT students were to do this) Everything, I posted above are traditions formed in the last 10 or so years. Please don't discourage the students. We also remixed the end of our fight song towards the end and the alumni love it. They understand that the new generation will come in and add onto the traditions. Like I mentioned earlier, I agree that the MFing doesn't need to be said in the fight song but attacking the students for partying at the Hill is just a recipe for suppressing tradition and hurting overall student support for generations. I remember a poster on here once said something along the lines of, they rather have 10,000 fans/students who are "classy" and "respected traditions" than 40-50,000 "classless, Texas Tech-like" fans. I'll find the quote and show it to you guys. This Student-Alumni war needs to STOP and STOP NOW.

I didn't leave because I felt unwanted. I love UNT and could never hate it but the general attitude of GMG has to change. Yeah, i understand the fan attitude has no direct impact on the team but it most certainly does on the culture. I understand that the alumni went through decades of failure, futility and pessimism and I commend them for sticking it out, but they have to understand that there's a new generation who doesn't know about all of those things. At the same time, New generation has to keep showing up and embrace UNT, not Whorn, not Aggy, not UH and so on. I honestly would love to see the day when elementary schools kids are playing football at recess and pretending to play for the Mean Green. Kids talking about UNT, there is so much potential for Denton and UNT. The only thing it needs is a spark to start the fire. Old guard and new gen can co-exist and move forward which has been proven to be possible by many many schools across the country but they should at least meet each other halfway.

You HAVE to let the students do their own thing. I'll admit that one could go without adding the MFing in the Fight Song but at the same time, it's not the biggest problem in the world. Whorn says "give em hell give em hell, make em eat shit" in their fight song and nobody complains. Point being, as others have mentioned earlier in the thread, if you take your kids to a college football game, unless it's BYU, there's going to be drinking and partying going on at tailgate. Parents take children to UT, Bama,West Virginia, Boise, etc. games all the time and none of them complain about what posters here are complaining about. Cannibalizing and demonizing students will only lead to destruction. Embrace them, don't push them away.

This is getting interesting...

I think you're a raging loser but +1 because THAT was a burn.

I see that UH is starting to replace SMU as the GMG obsession.

The only departure I remember after McCarney became HC was Carey.

No, mid to late 90s. We averaged 50k when Ware and Klingler were under center. The crowds went away after Klingler graduated and we started sucking.

Oh, so the retard who got banned was you? Makes sense.

This. However, every time I comment on something UNT related. (I follow UNT football closer than some UNT fans) Whatever UH is doing is somehow brought up. Our first 2 games were sellouts actually. (something UNT hasnt done in 25 years) The UTEP game was about 28-29k. The UNT game was about 26-27k. Lol at least we have T-Shirt fans, UNT would love for locals to buy season tickets and show up for games. Yes our student turnout isn't as good as last year but it is easily between at least 6-8000 (As opposed to 15k+ last year) .Which of course is more than UNT's. Again, don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.

Actually our average this year is 28.5k. You my friend, are the one who knows nothing. Our attendance this year would be amazing by UNT standards.

Bullshit. Our stadium has not been scaled back to 35,.you are the butt monkey on this site for a reason. The main reason we are building a 40-50k stadium is because 35k is too small for our fan base.

I was born in Houston lived here in early childhood and grew up in SETX and visited family in Houston. I think I know this city pretty well. If the Dynamo were more relevant, than tell me the last time Dynamo tickets went up to 200 bucks? Tell me the last time the Dynamo had to turn people away from their games because there was no more room in the stadium. Tell me the last time KHOU did an entire segment on Dynamo tickets? Tell me the last time a Dynamo game ticket was the hottest ticket in town? Tell me the last time people camped out for the Dynamo games the following afternoon. Tell me the last time people begged for Dynamo ticket outside of the stadium? Tell me the last time the news held a contest to see who could win Dynamo tickets and had over 60,000 ticketless people enter to try and win them? Just as I thought.

Jealousy isn't an attractive trait. Just sayin.

Adding onto this, not only is the same company that built Apogee is building our stadium, but it will be around 45-50k and approximately $100 million more expensive. Other than Smoo, all of our C-USA opponents were blown out by halftime.

Not gonna happen. We're dominating C-USA despite most of our starters being Freshmen and Sophomores. If Osborn was the Starter, UNT would probably be in the running for a Sun Belt Title. What is there to be envious of?
