Depends on....

If "Little Johnny has a soccer game"
if "Little Suzie has her first Indian Princess campout"
if "Oh we are spending Labor Day Weekend in Aspen"
if "we are taking our first visit to Duke to see our youngest first dorm"
if the weather, the weather, the weather, the weather does anything
it's too hot, it's too wet, or 1% chance of something bad
"we sit on east side and sun will be in our eyes"
it's too late of a start, it's too early of a start
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

RE: Attendance - We should host Houston Evacuees for free at the game. Just distribute tickets to all of the people staying in the various hotels around campus - they are full of Houston-ites with nothing to do...

Any students on here who can give us a gauge on how engaged the student body is? Is there a mob type feel with at least some? I'm hoping we can get a big student turnout given first game back and all.

Did they ever resolve the issue with the Frat and Sorority tailgates on the Dallas Hall lawn?

15K real butts, 19K announced.

A solid win Saturday 'should' bring 25K butts in seats to UNT (partly due to 6K greenies).

SO glad that game week is finally here. SMU is on the road that leads to the corner that we need to turn.
Thank you to Coach Chad Morris and his great staff.
BEAT sfa.

Am student, the hype for the MOB is real this year, which will translate into attendance for other sports, Mustang 11 got a pretty large group, attendance in the student section should be larger this year, but that all depends on how drunk people get. Any students that follow the team are excited. I would expect a small uptick in student attendance but not much

Yes. Same policies as last year with more enforcement by IFC organizations.

Plus they would have interest since they are from an American city. Good idea!

While they might buy some food, soft drinks, or beer, do not believe that tickets given away count for attendance.......although it would be a nice gesture.

Michigan and Florida are playing at Jerry World Saturday afternoon. Provide tickets for their fans, willing to have a night cap.
