I cannot get your temp prediction to make sense...91 for a high, highest temp is in mid afternoon...mid afternoon kickoff...kickoff temp 91. Right?

You tend to reach your high temperature for the day around 5 or 6 PM in the afternoon, so his temp predictions seem right on par. We'll likely have high 80s at kick-off and hit the low 90s at or just after halftime. Low 90s for a game is not too bad and lots better than what we had for the last game.

I will be there, so no excuses for myself here, but to say low 90s is better for this game than the low 100s was for the last home game does not really take the sun into consideration. Sure, I was not too hot in the shady confines of the west side for the first game, but 91 in the sun feels a heck of a lot hotter to me personally than 103 does in the shade. The student side will basically be in the sun the whole game now, so I would not be surprised seeing some departures around half.

I agree with 90 on this one. 72 ish at sun up. about 82 at noon when everyone will be tailgating, 86 to 88 at kickoff, peaking at 91 about 5:00 p.m. With a little wind it should be perfect football weather.

FYI, the temp peaked the last game day around 3 pm at 104° and held it for a couple hour

On August 31, 2013 Denton airport hit a high of 104°at 14:53 or 2:53pm with 21% Humidity.

The temps for denton airport for the last three days are posted all the time.

What the heck, we gotta' blue norther' coming in or what? 91 degrees is a piece of cake.

And if Bama'/TAMU keeps you home just mail back your UNT degree. One doing that would be part of the problem...not our eventual solution. (I did notice last game a Apogee they kept up to date scores on the south jumbotron).

Hilarious - My thought exactly! Unfortunately, I live in the Austin area & cannot drive up for the game, but would if I could. I consider any UNT alum that lives in the Denton & DFW very lucky to be close enough to attend regular games.

Plus, there's a crazy thing called a DVR that will let you watch that game in its entirety if you wanted...I fear this will keep quite a few at home, though. Its the biggest game in Aggie history and I have a feeling that many people will want to watch this in the cool air or in a pool with a TV close by with their Aggie and Longhorn buddies, who both have a vested rooting interest in this game.

I think we will announce a crowd similar to the one against Idaho, around 22-23k, with actual attendance of around 17-18k.

One piece of advice, PMG--don't tempt UNT "alums" with the idea of sending back their degrees because they are watching their "real team" play on TV while we are playing a home game. (I can't tell you how much I hated hearing that phrase when telling a fellow alum or non-degreed fan to come and watch a UNT game with me). I'm not sure the Registrar could handle all that extra work if we made that offer...

Winning has been known to cure cancer which is what we really need to start doing regularly in MG Country.

Plus the ones who would mail back their degrees probably haven't been back to campus since the day they graduated one might assume?

Of course, we need everyone no matter their past history as a fan or alum. I started out as merely a curious fan who thought our stadium (Fouts) sucked big time but then I just plain got hooked on Mean Green football under the direction of Hayden Fry (who I knew about from his SMU days). Can't seem to shake this Mean Green fever all these years later, either. :)

GMG!

This morning on the Ticket, our own "alum" Craig Miller said to Geroge Dunham that it was too bad he had to work the UNT-Ball State game at the same time the Alabama-Texas A&M game is going on. This is what so many UNT alumni hear (or read) everyday in their media outlets and why so many feel like it was right to never get into UNT sports.

Changing this mindset is going take more than just winning games against non-AQ teams in CUSA, the MAC and the SBC. We are going to have to beat the AAC teams when we play them (SMU) and we are going to have eventually beat one of those AQ powers. Whether its Georgia this year or Texas, Iowa, Tennessee, or Florida in the future, we can only get the local media writers on our side if we beat one of the AQs on our schedule, since that is who most fans and media care about. Otherwise, it will continue to be much of the same as we move forward.

      New President Named ...

      I'm taking a (big) "wait and see approach" to this hire. I remember the L. Jackson and Helwig (AD) eras. Both had Austin ties and tried to make us UT "light" or flat out hold us back.

      New President Named ...

      Gretchen Bataille was disastrous, and V. Lane Rawlins came to the rescue (having previously been president of Washington State and Memphis) and got us back on track, but he said from the beginning he would not stick around very long. Smatresk had been President of UNLV for 4 years and had previously served as an administrator at UTA. I thought from the beginning Smatresk was a steal. Smatresk proved himself to be effective and is stepping down at just the right time. I think we need the expertise that Keller brings to the position and I am optimistic that he will prove to be a great hire.

      Do facilities really matter anymore?

      They were once at the top of the list. You could also apply this to educational facilities, as being not as important. Cost of tuition and NIL payments is more important and is proven by the lack of funds raised for our new AD building. NIL contribution will become even more important once it is tax deductible.

      Do facilities really matter anymore?

      Facilities do matter. All the glitz of a payday will eventually wear off, as NIL donations will fade and most players won't get a huge payday. There are thousands of football players out there that mostly want opportunity to play at the college level. The higher the level the better, and we are a pretty high level on the food chain even though it doesn't feel like it. The great equalizer is still a scholarship and playing time. Each FBS still has a limit of 85 scholarships and only 22 starters. You won't get many wanting to go to Houston as a walk on, and pay their on way, to sit on a bench 3 years to maybe get a scholarship and play as a senior.

      I’m using the communal “we” in our folks rationalizing a very underwhelming, under-qualified hire at the time. I didn’t like that hire either and he was more disappointing than I’d even originally thought by the end of his tenure having focused all his energy on the useless UNT Dallas project - something I still loathe. This new guy may be great. Just cautioning those expecting stroke in Austin. I’ll believe that when I see it. Would be great for UNT though.
