Re Apogee and stadium crowds. On the UNT athletics/facilities site there is a photo of our game. Red dominates lower end seating and has a sizeable chunk of the end zone.

If I recall correctly they did a 360 degree photo of that crowd.

They did a high res multiple pass megapixel photo. You could zoom in real tight but because it was multiple passes some areas had people cut in half or spliced.

I think I found the top half of my head just floating in part of the crowd. There’s other partial bodies in various spots. Weird.

UNT added graduate transfer cornerbacks Dominique Harrison (Arizona State) and Nick Harvey (South Carolina) following spring practice.

Littrell believes both will contribute and help fill the void after UNT lost starters Nate Brooks and Kemon Hall to graduation.

“We have some great young players at that position, but anytime you can get guys who have played at a high level and can make yourself better, great,” Littrell said. “We were willing to take that chance.”

" Houston at North Texas

When the Cougars travel to Denton the two best quarterbacks, in the G5 will be meeting on the field. That alone makes it must watch TV. D’Eriq King, of Houston, is an explosive runner, and play-maker. King has the potential to pass for 3,000 passing yards, and rush for 1,000 yards this season. He’s got a ton of weapons too, most notably Marquez Stevenson. Under new head coach Dana Holgorsen’s Air Raid offense, Houston could average 40 points per game this season.

On the other side is one of the favorites to win C-USA, North Texas, a team known to light up the scoreboard too. Mason Fine might not be tall, but he’s incredibly tough to beat. Like King, Fine is a dual threat quarterback with weapons at his disposal this season. Bodie Reeder, an up and coming offensive mind off of the Mike Gundy coaching tree, will take over an offensive coordinator at North Texas.

Both defenses might not be great at preventing explosive plays this season, so given the two dynamic offenses, bet the over.

If that’s not enough reason to watch, S&P+ has margin for the game at 0.2 points."

With the band going full strength, it’ll be a great road game to attend. Planning to go with a big group.
