The thing that worries me is last night I opened up my Mean Green Football handbook and the SMU game is $15 instead of $8 for attendance, this will hurt alumni and denton people from wanting to attend the game....

But hey I guess they wont know about it ahead of time, when they approach the gates.....

$15 is still a steal for a DI-A football game. I think many people will show up out of morbid curiosity.

I certainly hope that you're wrong about that. The $15.00 is for general admission tickets. My tickets show $25.00 for the SMU game. Personally, I think they should have charged more.

I certainly hope that there are no more alumni who's expectations about ticket prices are still stuck back in the days of $8.00 and $6.00 for reserved seats.

Otherwise, we're going to end up like the Israelites who wandered the desert for 40 years until their disobedient/disbelieving generation had died off.

Maybe if you put FOUTS FIELD HISTORY they'll understand. Where can you find more than 30,000 who want to come to Fouts?

Our biggest home crowd in history was 45,923 vs. A&M at Texas Stadium in 1997.

How about being professional and just announcing the actual attendance without any commentary.

There are always people who love to remind everyone how awful North Texas was until they arrived, which is fine as long as it's kept within the family, but it's a problem when they feel the need to air it to the neighbors (and the media).

Helwig's people did this at the Baylor game several years ago and made North Texas look ridiculous as our guests started laughing.

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      The bats have definitely been the biggest disappointment the past two years. The run support simply hasn't been there enough. Now, I'm still optimistic for the tournament. Last year we won three straight to make it to the title game. But that double bye would have been nice especially if we only have two reliable pitchers right now.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      You can rebuild a college basketball rotation to contend at a high level in one year. That is just 8-9 players. And if you get lucky with 2-3 absolute monsters, you can make a run in any given season. Of course, then those 2-3 monsters will get poached by deeper pockets and you will have to start all over again. But still, it is possible. But we can’t rebuild a college football two-deep in one year. That’s almost 50 players that we need to compete at a high level. And as has been demonstrated, any time we get football players who have any kind of success in the NIL era, they are gone quicker than you can say “Chandler Rogers”. Another reason it is easier for us to compete in the NIL era in basketball is because that sport is dominated by guards. There are LOTS of talented guards available in college basketball and some of the very best can fall through the cracks and land with us for atleast a season. And while many people would say that college football is dominated by quarterbacks (and that position is VERY important)… what really separates the elite college football programs from everyone else are the defensive linemen. The supply of 18-24 year-old humans who weigh 300 pounds with the strength to take on multiple blockers while also having the speed to run down a quarterback is no where near the demand. And these defensive linemen usually take a while to develop. But anytime a defensive linemen shows a hint of promise, he gets funneled to the highest bidder and that won’t be us. Which means we will never be able to compete with the SEC or Big 10 in football.
