 Really good for them but I would not say “closing in” until they get to 5,000 seats left.  Hoping for more than 3,000 walk up crowd on a hot August day in El Paso is foolish.   I wonder what they could do with a retractable roof Stadium there?  I think big UT would stop any plans for that happening before they started good.  But it is an interesting hypothetical.

our tickets would be higher 940.  make it harder to sell out😏

$940 would make it hard, but not if we went with $9.40. That's basically what UTEP did. We would be .25 cents higher, but DFW vs El Paso would warrant that extra quarter.

I'm not in favor of the area-code helmets. 

Now Smut did a "Dallas" helmet.  Cute, but it should have been a Highland Park helmet since majority of their 238 sugar-daddy fans live there.

NT could do a "DFW" helmet since we represent the whole region.

I don't think the poster who posted about 940 was referring to helmets. I think he was referring to ticket cost. However, I could be wrong. I am not in favor of the area code helmets either.

Sorry, meant area-code helmets, not zip-code, duh.

Previous poster implied Denton's area code (ie helmet and ticket price) would be $9.40 compared to UTEP's $9.15 area code, helmet, price.  

Back in my days in Denton the area code was 817.   Less expensive! lol

TCU started the DFW thing after Sonny was hired.

And what happens when SL has a big crowd?

I know it's trendy to dump on SL these days, but what you are alluding to isn't new or unique to SL.  It's almost a tradition now with the history of UNT athletics.  I can't even count the number of times we were on a roll with momentum with that feeling that finally we were about to turn the corner with a huge "opportunity" game and we predictably laid a big fat egg in front of the largest crowd of the season and poof...it all evaporated.  Then as we almost always do (or did) play a great game two or three weeks later in front of an empty stadium.

I hope they bring a great crowd, both teams play well early on, and UNT puts them away in the 2nd half.  1-0 with SMU coming into town and the Mean Green faithful showing out for the first home game. I’m ready!  GMG!

Agree 100% and I also noticed that we are SMU’s season opening game so I expect this to be a big traveling crowd from them as they return a talented and deep team.

      The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting

      We have complained for years about being left in the dark. The Mean Green Club was promised quarterly meetings that never took place, now there is little to no coverage of the spring practices, player movement is constant so the days of watching a last second scholarship player developing in to a Hall of Fame performer are long gone ala Johnny Quinn, there is little to no fan engagement, etc... It just keeps getting worse and without a push to really involve the fans, I foresee a bleak future. They, the AD, has to create excitement around the team/program or Apogee will just become a waste of money, the new basketball arena will never happen and future adds like baseball will just be an idea that came too late. The days of the G5's are on their way out. It will be whittled down to the top 40 or 50 programs as D1. We might as well go back to our D1AA days and play at the FCS level. I am just about done with sports from a financial commitment position. The greed has ruined it for me. Their is zero loyalty towards the program by the players. It is all about them and how much money they can cram in their pockets and it appears our basketball coach encourages the lack of loyalty. I will watch on television, but that's about it, much like pro sports have become. I have no interest in attending a Cowboys' game live once the prices became ridiculous, same with the Mav's and Rangers' in that stupid new ballpark that was a waste of money. I had arrived at a point where I was only willing to invest in watching North Texas live, but the current situation has ruined that as well. The future of all of college sports is a disaster if some type of control isn't put in place. It is ridiculous and very sad. Guess I will end up spending my money on golf, fine food and drink, drugs, etc. and become a more interesting person.

      SB at Memphis (4/19-21/24)

      Opportunity to beat up on one of the worst teams in the country in Memphis (5-34, 1-17). Really can't let them steal one like UTSA did a few weeks ago. This could help solidify a top two seed (top two seeds would only need to win two games in the conference tournament to win the title) if Tulsa takes 2 of 3 from Charlotte this weekend. SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT. HOME AWAY NEUTRAL THIS WEEKEND Florida Atlantic 13-5 .722 33-12 .733 19-6 11-6 3-0 vs. UTSA North Texas 12-6 .667 25-19 .568 15-8 7-9 3-2 at Memphis Charlotte 12-6 .667 26-16 .619 12-8 9-7 5-1 vs. Tulsa Tulsa 12-6 .667 27-15 .643 13-3 9-8 5-4 at Charlotte UAB 11-7 .611 20-22 .476 13-5 2-13 5-4 at Wichita State Wichita State 10-8 .556 19-18 .514 5-6 9-8 5-4 vs. UAB South Florida 9-9 .500 30-16 .652 23-11 7-5 0-0 at East Carolina East Carolina 7-11 .389 30-15 .667 21-7 5-8 4-0 vs. South Florida UTSA 3-15 .167 12-34 .261 3-10 2-14 7-10 at Florida Atlantic Memphis 1-17 .056 5-34 .128 4-16 1-13 0-5 vs. North Texas

      He chose Nicholls State. lol. I’m going to keep trusting in Ross until I have a reason not to.

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      I can't blame them, the system in place allows them to profit and to move freely. We may not like it, but it's the system. I'm hoping schools taking over the collectives, it's already happening for reasons I stated above, will usher in contracts and buy outs for players. We've opened Pandora's box so we aren't going back to amateur sports, the best we can get out of it is payment on our investments.
