I was at Apogee earlier today talking to a Deep throat informant and he said that someone in the ticket office told him that we 3,000 away from a sell out. This is tickets sold and not the student section. 

Take this with a grain of salt if you want to take it at all. 

So, you're saying this informant told you that we have sold 27000ish tickets? Or is it the seats that can be sold minus the student section? Also, if it's the latter, then how many seats are in the student section?

Does NT Athletics still have any marketing people?   This game doesn't need much selling but I have heard/seen nothing outside this board promoting it.

25k. Also, look, we don't like Seth Littrells personality, or at least many people do not. But what he has done, turn a historically bad football program into a respectable/mediocre football prog

I know it doesn’t meet most of the criteria of a “big game”, but yesterday’s win was massive. First game of the year on the road in front of a sellout crowd vs a conference foe that’s coming off a win

Opening game attendance, during the Seth Littrell Era:

2016: 24,718 (vs SMU)

2017: 19,592 (vs Lamar)

2018: 29,519 (vs SMU)

2019: 23,057 (vs Abilene Christian)

2020: 7,611 (vs Houston Baptist)

2021: 18,716 (vs Northwestern State)

 

I predict somewhere around 23,000...

There's been lots of talk about freshman going home during Labor Day... It's true. Why? Not sure. It's just what they do!

2016, but 2018 would be sweet

we had a pathetic crowd for the Frisco game, what makes you think this will be any different?

Maybe playing a school that some call our greatest rivalry will get a couple more fans out? 

If I were a prospective recruit & read this forum I would probably say—“No F’n Way, Jose!”

Dude why would they? The bowl only existed because of too many eligible teams, it was put together at the last minute with overpriced tickets in a soccer stadium against another mediocre opponent on a Tuesday? afternoon. Nevermind that the stadium's capacity is still only 2/3rds of Apogee even if it would have sold out.

Only UNT fans think $50 bowl tickets are too expensive lol

Because in Frisco we had to fill the stadium ourselves. Despite what many on this board think, SMUg brings possibly the biggest away game crowd of the year. Not to mention that their folks haven’t had a game yet and are chomping at their proverbial bits to watch some live football.

Absolutely.   

The only other game I remember having as many opposing fans sit anywhere near me was Army.  Every time we play at Apogee, the West side is maybe 80/20 UNT/SMU fans.   Just look around you on Saturday, you'll see quite a bit of blue/red.

If y'all are only judging by the visitors section to see how many SMU fans are there, you're underestimating their pocketbooks and care to be seated with other SMU fans.   For them, it's comfort over crowd noise.

La Tech, UTSA, and Houston all bring more fans then SMU.

I dunno where you sit, but I've maybe seen a handful of LATech fans in my section (205) before.  I don't recall seeing any UTSA fans in my section EVER.  I think UTSA fans like to sit together in the visitors section.  Their section always seems full.

And yeah, Houston will bring quite a few fans up around us.  I should have included them.  Not anything like that 2017 Army game though.  We were basically surrounded by black & gold.

But every time SMU rolls through, they leak into our section quite a bit.  Families w/kids, old/retired couples, etc... all kinds of people who don't want to just sit and bake in the sun on the East Side of Apogee.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      If…..

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.
