    Overall, the fan experience in Apogee is much nicer than The Joe. Concourse area is very nice and clean, with many food options and short wait times, even at halftime. Same can be said for the restrooms. Crowd was loud to the end, and the students cared enough to stay in the second half. The audio system is also much better than ours, as well. Didn't venture into the team shop, but it looked nice from the outside. My group was very impressed and enjoyed our experience.

    The only thing I did not like was finding a place to park. There was not enough signage to direct traffic to the correct lots. I went to one lot that was prepaid only, was loosely directed by the attendant to the cash lot, was told by that attendant that it was full (even though there were many spaces open when I walked through it on the way to the stadium), and then had to wander through campus to an open lot. At least I got to park for free!
    Agree! I had planned on parking in the blue lot but when I got to the turn to the right by the interstate where the attendant was they said that starting for our game the blue lot was permit only. Got detoured through a subdivision (thank goodness for Google Maps). Took 20 minutes to circle back around to where I could cross the freeway and park in the orange lot.

    That was strange, but I get it. Certainly helps stop attendants from pocketing cash.

    The locals refer to that as the "cash lot" I asked 2 people about the orange lot before we figured out "orange lot" was the "cash lot". We had parked there in 2016 so it was easy to find.

    Must be a drug problem in that part of the state.

    No word on Mason Fine. We're not sure we will know (officially) until pre-game for the UTEP game in El Paso if he plays or not. I'd think the Denton newspaper guy would report if he saw him at practice or not. Coaches kinda' funny on reporting the extent of injuries. We hope just a sprained ankle or something like that. H


    #23 Loren Easly's injury looked bad. The color commentator of our games thought it might be a career ender kind of injury. This would be his 3'rd as I understand. Not sure the kid wants to rehab for a 3'rd time.

    They radio boys (Dave Barnett & Hank Dickenson) asked Seth Littrell about both players & Coach seemed pissed that they did. He doesn't want to talk about injuries. Is this a trend?

    Unless he was 100% ready to go, I’d rest Fine against UTEP. That should be an easy win no matter who is behind center. No point in aggravating an injury in a game like that.

    That sucks about Easly. Hate to see a player go down with an injury like that.

    I think our PA speakers suck. Of course, being a DJ I've lost much of my hearing due to industry related hearing damage so I'm probably not hearing the same thing our fans are.

    First time I sat in our old stadium (Fouts) I told my girlfriend that this had to be the worst college stadium in NCAA history! LOL! I grew up a UH Cougar fan & got comfortable with the Astrodome.

    BTW, I think yall have made "the Joe" look pretty damn good for what its worth. I really like the End Zone facility.

I took the points and over under-- vegas said 56 and final was 56--push there and $150 on the Dogs-- never in doubt after stopping the 2 point conversion . Now if you said our fan base is frustrating because NT had 31,000 attendance and unless UAB fans show up we will be lucky to reach 20k -- Sunshine Pumper over and out
