I sure hope not... I have hyped this game up to my friends and family all year long and i cant wait any longer.. OU v. Baylor (at llyod noble but thats pretty close) has been postponed and even the NHL game between Colorado and St. Louis has... I think we should be ok but im not much of a weather guru and wanted to ask yall what the chances are that FAU cant make it or whatever the case is in which the game gets postponed...

It's more about direct sunlight and traffic to break it all up more than anything. I think we'll be OK, but free admission or dollar day sounds good to me.

No offense to you, but the Stars played last night at the AAC and did not lower their prices. Why do we want to continue to find any excuse, weather related or not, to cheapen any part our athletic program?

It's a marketing ploy to get additional butts in seats, not a shot at the program.

I think it's worth the shot. Baseball teams do this every year; coupled with .25 hot dogs, it was a huge hit.

But I suppose some of you can dissect the difference between a feeder baseball club and our rockin' popular Bball program.

Miner, I understand it is a marketing ploy, and respect your opinion. But we have a winning team, though not as good right now as we would like, but a lots of others would trade for our success in bb over the past few years. I just think these "on the fence" fans just need to start showing up because they are true fans and supporters, no matter what. I am tired of "when we get in a better conference, move past a first round game, etc." excuses. I don't know what it will take, but minor league marketing tactics will still cheapen it. Fans show up in other college towns all across the United States for games without having to have a nickel beer and bat night (Rangers really did that one time.)

Probably because I think additional butts in the seats is probably more important to our program than our losing a net of a few hundred dollars. Of course we would have to quickly find a way to get the word out to the "cheapos" around town who are probably looking for an excuse to get out of their frozen houses for a little entertainment.

If people don't attend it's not the price that's keeping them away, tickets to our games are cheap.

OK, sorry, no offense...BUT tickets to Mean Green Games are NOT cheap. They are definitely INEXPENSIVE for the value received, but they are not cheap. "Cheap" has a meaning that involves "inferior". Mean Green tickets are definitely not inferior. In my humble opinion the correct phrasing would be "tickets to our games are inexpensive". Just sayin'.......

      Big 12 Pursuing Duke

      Sure, there are scenarios where these things are possible. But nobody writing these articles knows anything more about the possibilities than you or I do. Further, even if they did know more, they are not going to write an article laying out the reasons it won't happen, or the reasons some third possibility that doesn't benefit the B12 could happen. They aren't doing unbiased rational analysis. It's like relying solely on MSNBC or Fox for news

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      I don't like it. But what he says is obviously true. This is not good for college football. Or basketball. Or most any other college sport.

      NIL and the Portal are killing gmg

      Checking in for the first time in like 6 weeks. I did indeed stop checking in semi-regularly after the basketball team fell apart. Doesn't help that I don't expect football to be good. But yes, the off-season goings on in the NIL era are too depressing. If you don't think your team is gonna be good this very season, why stick with it, not like anyone can really build anything truly long term at the G5 level anymore. Why follow any specific player, if he is gone once he flashes his potential on the field.

      Or is there another explanation. I’ve never seen this place so dead. I realize it’s the off season, but it seems much slower than usual.

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      College football has always been a food chain. The problem now is the instant movement allowed every year for players with no sit-out for transfers. Maybe if the Texas Tech's, and other mid-P4's of FBS, start feeling the pain of having star players stolen then more restrictions will happen.
