Has nothing to do with being an ass and has everything to do with real life. If grassie has a couple losing seasons, see Clemson and dabo, the crowds at soccer will disappear. It has more to do with soccer in general and not grassie.
Its the Sun Belt... W/link.. Marshall, JMU, ODU, So. Miss

Nah. It’s a core of soccer fans and that core is pretty dedicated. We average around 1200 a game I think. I could see that staying consistent unless the program totally tanks - which I don’t see it happening as long as Grassie is around.
Soccer fans are a different kind of fan IMO. You dont have the same level of "ehhhh, I guess I'll go to the game" in soccer that you do in football. The size of the venues in soccer also allow there to be better participation. Will you have standing room only when the soccer team is down? No. Will you likely always have enough interest in soccer to have a decent crowd at Marshall's home field? Most likely.
Thanks for clearing that up. Who knew? Bad teams draw less home crowds than good teams. Let me guess, that applies to all sports??
In any case, we will never "suck" as long as Grassie is here. We will check back with you in a couple of years and see if you have figured it out yet.
DD needs to worry about winning this crap conference more than once every 10 ye--wait...that sounds familiar.
You can’t guarantee that. Do you think Clemson fans thought they would suck this year? You are getting defensive for no reason. The entire point of my comment was to say that yes if we suck then there is no way we continue to draw the crowds we have at soccer and yes it goes for every sport.
CBS reports that ODU is now official. THEY have it in writing, locked down, notarized, full force of the legal system behind them, etc.
Tick, tock, tick, tock…

Take it easy Sam, everything is on schedule as it has been for about a week now... The Sun Belt is aware of our president being named and our timeline. Marshall and JMU, "have not yet applied for Sun Belt membership, but that is just a formality."
JMU has an "Emergency" board of governors meeting scheduled for Friday. They have to go through the red tape of getting approval from the state to move up a division, so their official announcement isn't expected until mid-next week.

I'm not defensive. I just don't know why we need someone giving us the "sky is blue" type comments regarding attendance. We all know that about sports. You are throwing out a hypothetical which I correctly told you is not going to happen as long as he is here. Is that really that difficult for you? We will check back in a year or two and see if you are getting it. No worries.
Syracuse is about to join the ACC, but what if SU made the move 10 years ago?
We enlist a group of experts -- conference officials, reporters and college analysts -- to rewrite history.
Actually, lots of Clemson fans anticipated this year would be a down year for them.
BWAHAHA!! This must put you in a near suicide position:
Being right about DD and how he's not what's been advertised but having to agree the SBC is better for MU overall.
Down yes but still winning or Atleast playing for acc championship. They didn’t anticipate being one of two p5 teams to not score 20+ points in regulation against fbs competition. They didt anticipate Dj uiagalelei, who was a preseason herdman contender to be awful.
As I have told you multiple times, we are also in the SunBelt. This is evidence that I am correct, as ODU was only going to join if our HERD joined.
Just admit that you made a WHOOPSY, no shame in that-- I just had that feeling all along that we were SunBelt bound, fortunately I turned out to be the correct one.
False. Big12 won't expand until 2024 0r 25 if ever. Money is there with current teams Cincy, BYU, Houston and UCF add value to that Conference only 5 to 7 Million a year loss from Texas and Oklahoma at most probably 6 Million a year less. To add anyone else it starts to water down. To Big12 Memphis and SMU are only other options being considered but Big12 wants commitment from Memphis about a stadium before giving them a chance for application. This is the current true situation with the Big12 not made up.
Back on topic, the SunBelt is a much better fit and offers a much better brand of Football for MU.
This, boys and girls, is the kind of delusional idiocy you have to buy into to follow USPAM.
Actually, Texas and Oklahoma represented about 60% of the total value of the Big 12 2.0.
I’ve been right about DD since day one. Some here accept mediocrity. I do not. Some accepters of mediocrity are beginning to see the error of their ways.
As to the SBC vs CUSA as it is going to be after the (really dumb, IMHO) AAC raid, easy decision. CUSA, as it existed before vs. SBC is a different discussion, one that is now moot.
Show us the link where you predicted he would lead us to our first NCAA appearance in three decades and our first NCAA tourney win ever.
You don't accept mediocrity? Yet you snifffed Doc's jock for 10 years!
you are putting it so much more mildly than I would have put it. thank you. we need to keep the forum clean.
