I like this idea and it could possibly change some minds on making the trip to Dallas. But, keep an open mind on folks going to Denton not even planning on watching football. The square is a hussle and bussle with all the new businesses up and coming in the recent years. What's to say a fair weather football fan family goes to get a bite to eat and then they can go sit on the lawn in the shade to watch the game. the football team needs to do their part and win, which would be in this program's favor for our next home game. show the game in and around Denton, make it to where people stumble into watching the game. That's the greatness of advertising, they see UNT play through their Saturday night out and peak their interest to attend a game in Apogee. Secondly, this is awesome, because the city of Denton is rallying behind the University's football team. @UNTLifer said it right.. Denton hasn't done things like this ever before.

I would hope people attend the game too.

Probably some drunk tailgater took it home for a souvenir. Not sure the police would do any good either.. They would take a report and that would be the end of it unfortunately. You probably won't leave a flag out anymore, but for 50 bucks you can buy a cable to lock into the pole. Kind of like a bike lock cable.

Valid points. I completely forgot about their coach being absent during this game too. I think that definitely plays a role in how a team will play. I am curious to see what what an Arkansas State fan's perspective is on this as well. Because Arkansas State looks like a solid team.

I am repeating on a post I made yesterday here.. But the two fumbles Arkansas State made did them in.

I did not watch the SMU vs Arkansas St game because I was watching the mean green win. But based off the highlights, Arky State shot themselves in the foot. 2 big fumbles really did them in to let SMU win that game. Their QB is a cause of concern, as he had some good throws to gain some yards. Our defense needs to keep this in mind when watching tape.

UNT- 55 SMU- 48 This game is the first true test on how this season is going to go. First away game, first D1 school, a testing offense for our debatable defense. If there is any game I want to run up the score more on.. It's this one.. I would put a lower score for SMU, but the defense has to prove me wrong this weekend. our fearless leader, Fine needs to sling the rock on these guys. GMG!

I edited the OP's post. He should have proofread,

@OscarWildeCat Do you all have a exclusive area where your fans are tailgating at?

Can't believe I am saying this.. But whoop on Oklahoma, I wan't you all ranked when we take you to the woodshed in Denton.

Eagles- 54 Wildcats- 19 I would go with a lower score on ACU's part, but backups will replace our starters 2nd half causing ACU to get some points in.

If this is the score I am going to be a little disappointed. @GrandGreen already stated the defense sitch, but 31 points given up by our defense, will not get us to undefeated or a respectable record when we play UH in our goal to sell out Apogee in Sept. I wish you all the best though, you all are a classy bunch when it comes to a fan base.

Does anyone remember that store on the square called "Barefoot Outfitter"? one of my favorite UNT shirts I have came form there. That place shut down from what google says. How long ago was that? I can't believe I am now noticing it is closed.

Thursday 8/29 FIU vs Tulane- Good game for us to know if FIU will be running the East division this year. Texas State vs A&M- I work with like 75 % Aggie grads. I will hear about this team whether I like it or not this season.. I prefer not to hear about them... I'd like to add BYU vs Utah, in state rivalries are always fun to watch! Friday 8/30 Rice vs Army- Will Rice prove everyone wrong? Most likely not. Maybe Army will get the preseason hype in their head and lay an egg Colorado vs CO State- I love watching state rivalries, good pick! Saturday 8/31 Just watching North Texas most likely, I have a Alabama grad friend who offered for me to come watch the game with him that day. I told him I have priorities for my alma mater.. AL ruins college football. As you stated, would be great to see Duke pull off an upset. If that were to happen Alabama would still end up in the playoffs....

Washington is the only outstanding win here. Look at the records of the rest of the teams and they are .500 or losing records. The low scores on those games is a cause of worry, Their defense is very concerning. The #1 PAC12 team only won by 2 points! My post was not meant to downgrade the Pac12 conference as a whole. Cal plays I think 4 ranked in conference opponents this year. Will be a tough schedule for sure.

I have no doubt the athletic department will do a stupendous job at selling this game. The football team needs to intensify the hype going into this with a stellar record. I have no doubt in my mind this will sell out if we are 3-1 or 4-0. This game would rival some P5 big game atmospheres that day.

I might be throwing stones in a glass house here. But Cal doesn't exactly have the foundation to be talking like they run the P5 world. These guys probably would be last place Pac12 if Oregon State or Colorado wasn't in the conference. I have heard a lot about this year's defense for Cal, but our offense will be stacked. I do admire that a lot of them gives credit where it is due. Arkansas did not give us the time of day before they got throttled, they were SEC. Top tier P5 conference.

You can take naps at SMU games on the alumni side, stretch out of you need too. Maybe even do yoga.

This will be the ticket counter convo if we are 3-1 (loss to Cal) or 4-0 going into Houston.

That's a whole lot of no xbox for a week and soap in the mouth.

Let me get this straight? Houston got antsy and took action way to soon. Then, some smart or idiot (depending on how you look at it) guy is taking advantage of a Texas state law before it gets forgotten and slips through the crack Houston should have trashed the applications after 2 weeks of waiting and the hired Holgerson to cover their legal butts. I'm sure Holgerson would know he was a no brainer coming out of WVU Also, $20 million? Gah we live in a give me/sew happy world... I can't wait to beat these clowns in September.. I never had any hate or negative opinions regarding Houston football. But that CK2 moron makes me despise that program and its University of Swamp ass team. .

For a season opener, I highly doubt that. SMU only brings a BMW X5 full of people and that's it. I'll be surprised if we don't go above 26K that day. Especially the amount of ACU alumni in the DFW area or even Abilene being 2 1/2 hours away.

I hope ACU brings a crowd. I have a ACU alum coworker that doesn't even own an ACU shirt... I convinced him to go to this game and tailgate with us too.
