thanks for your service though! my brother-in-law is on the Truman kicking ISIS ass while we argue about sports.
Almost, but at least it's an Olympic sport. You wouldn't put down an American Olympic gold medalist just because it's not a "real" sport in your humble opinion? That sounds as bad as those people upstate that make fun of Marshall's IAA football championships.Sailing is almost as impressive rifle.....
What would you consider a Major City and a Large City?(Not trying to be condescending since we agree here)
For me it is a City in the TOp 15 would be Major and all cities from 16-49 as large
I wouldn't be at all surprised that if the AAC were to expand, you won't need to worry about UNCC or ODU being in our conference. They will be invited to AAC. Way too much potential to stay down. All they needed was a commitment to football and they got it. Both are twice the size of MU with larger budgets, bigger metro areas, better recruiting areas and easier travel.
Just speculation relayed to me by an administrator.I will believe that when I see it.
The reason the DMA area is combined is because Huntington and Charleston are just 44 miles apart and the local news stations broadcast to this area which is not all that dissimilar to lots of other TV markets around the country where you have cities that are so close . For example you could look at one of the most well known in Dallas/Ft Worth which by comparison is a little closer at 31 miles. Obviously Huntington and Charleston are not as large as Dallas and Fort Worth but the distances are not much different in the areas both DMAs serve.Looking at a map, you can see that Huntington's DMA combines the Huntington and Charleston areas, and is geographically twice as large as Louisville's.
It's not all that similar as Louisville and Lexington are 70+ miles apart. That would be like combining the distance with Huntington/Charleston then adding the distance of Dallas/Ft Worth. It is just not a valid comparison. Even less so when you start bringing cities in to the conversation like Cincinnati, Indianapolis that are 100+ miles away. It's not comparable.If you were to combine Louisville and Lexington's DMAs (similar distance between them compared to Huntington/Charleston, would create similar geographic size)...
It doesnt matter as those TV sets are still part of the viewing audience that Marshall's local TV broadcast reach. That would be like trying to downplay Louisville's TV market because southern Indiana residents are primarily IU fans and southern Indiana makes up a nice little chunk of Louisville's TV market. Its still Louisville's local TV market.On a final note, although the entire state of KY bleeds blue, just about everyone I've met who keeps up with sports (after growing up there) follows Louisville to a degree, and likes them in all but one game a year. Even here in Ashland, right in the middle of Huntington's market area and three hours from Louisville, UL is just as well known and followed as MU.
