A friend of mine in San Antonio got four free tickets for the UTSA game today and she's looking for someone to take them off her hands.

Wonder how many other FREE tickets are going to go unused, but still counted towards the attendance?

He is not talking about their attendance he is asking if they are playing by the rules. There is a difference.

According to the NCAA attendance can be counted by actual turnstile count, tickets sold, or estimates.

So there really are no rules. UTSA probably has sponsors in the city who by thousands of tickets for .50 each. But hey, it's a sold ticket.

Right I mean maybe we could learn from what they are doing... If it's legal I have no problem with it.

The Runnin' Chickens need their most famous Alumnus in Peter Burns to promote them more... Wait, he's an LSU honk from Kingwood. And, he ONLY says anything about UTSA when they Win. Nevermind.

If you'll look at the picture on each tick in the upper left corner there is a $ 0.00. Then on the upper right there is another 0.00. Then another 0.00 on the stub.

I just thought it was funny how my friend received four free tickets and can't find anyone to give the tickets to.

SMU's now ancient Mustang Mania era were working with pre-purchased tickets. Now how much some of those tens of thousands of free tickets would actually be might be another story.

I wish every home game at North Texas would be preceeded weeks before with an aggressive distribution of 10,000 free (pre-purchased) tickets for Denton/Lewisville/Gainsville/McKinney area kids. Past marketing and promotions statistics would tell us that all 10K won't show but those who do will have to have mommy and/or daddy with them (who will be paying for a full priced or discounted ticket).

Like drex recently posted and I liberally paraphrase:

An empty seat cannot buy a Mean Green T-shirt, a hot dog, a coca cola, etc, etc, etc,

Think Halloween Night At Apogee Stadium! floating-ghost.gif

She went to KFC and bought a bucket of chicken for $20.00 and was given a voucher for four tickets. So tickets were not free!

I would still take their attendance numbers in a flash. I also think in 5 years UTSA is in AAC and the Mean Green is winning bowl games and making our mark on the national stage - regardless of conference affiliation.

A USM fan saw us walking up to the gate and asked where we were sitting. We told him Top of the Rock aka cheap seats. He pulled out 6 tickets and gave us two on the 50 lower level. It was tempting to sit in the den of Golden Eagles in some great seats but naaaaa - much more fun in the corner with the Green. Wish I would have seen him just a few minutes earlier though!

GO CUSA!

      Hey Chandler!

      I get amused at troll posters that come on our board and give advice. It makes me wonder if: he is a season ticket holder he contributes to his team’s scholarship fund he actually attends/attended his “school” he actually buys single game tickets at attends games he himself contributes to his school’s NIL or, if he ever posts on his own school site. I wouldn’t know because I don’t troll onto other sites unless we are playing them that week ?

      Hey Chandler!

      @Cougar King Nah, we would rather defend our mediocre coaching hires, AD, criticize fans (who aren’t as awesomely passionate as us), criticize disloyal players some of us really never gave a 💩 and bitch/moan about how the “system” is unfair. Meanwhile we can’t in good conscience give extra resources to a program that has NEVER been serious about doing BIG things in football. A Coach Morris 2025 Mean Green team will be lucky to go 6-6 next year taking a slight step backwards in QB production next year. The AD will either fire Morris after another near 0.500 season or give him a “lame duck” year for budgetary concerns. Then we will hire Air Raid Coach 3.0 and repeat the cycle.

      Some college football head coaches struggle with the NIL and Portal era...and give it up

      The outrage is still hypocritical BS anyway you want to slice it. NIL greed didn’t destroy conferences and rivalries. GREED in general did. And the people that run College Football are responsible for balancing the health of the sport over greed. College Football has no real structure except do whatever legal and necessary to get the most revenue. End popular rivalry games for a few extra million dollars from another conference, is no biggie. Walkout of the students who just signed their letters on intent for a 15% raise, no biggie. Programs like Alabama using FCS for fodder while charging full ticket prices, media rights fee for a farce, no biggie. Players getting NIL “Oh my God this is ridiculous it is the END of college football, we need regulation….” For me it isn’t of the waste perceived unfairness or greed that makes the game less enjoyable it is the hypocrisy of the fans.

      Hey Chandler!

      Who cares? He's gone. I hope he bench-rots like Rogers at Cal.
