I visit other teams boards that play in CUSA and realize that we are actually pretty fortunate.

I just read on the MTSU board where their fans were predicting 13-15K announced and 8-9K actual this weekend... For close to a must-win game if they want to go to a bowl, against the team that is leading their division.
 
Which is why we are basically in a glorified MAC conference and need to be in the AAC
 
And we ain't going anywhere anytime soon. Just ask MH. We all have to rah rah CUSA and enjoy the fact that we are winning and will get to some bowl. Schedule beginning to look better for the OOC games starting next year.

1. We don't have the millions for the exit and entry fees.
2. We played ECU, UCF, Houston, Memphis back in the day and our attendance wasn't much better than it is now - if that. jmo.

We can only control we what can. MH is scheduling better; hopefully those OOC wins will get us were we want to go.

Nobody will disagree that it would be great to be in the AAC. The only obstacle is that they didn't invite us.

Our attendance was worse then. hamrick was brought in because of low attendance and poor performance in football.
 
I can keep going SamC. While most AAC schools are averaging 30k or more, most CUSA schools aren't even drawing HALF of that.

False. Unaudited claims that anyone with a brain rejects.

As stated ECU is an outlier in that repugnant and fanless conference. The rest, including Houston, which is probably the 5th or 6th most popular college program in its own town, are fanless. Giving away tickets. Still no one comes.

When you cite ECU as your model program, you have problems. Yeah, I can find pictures of a single game. BTW, I can also find tickets to your next two games. Less than $20 per. From the box office. Being blown out on secondary for less than face value. What a joke. What a joke you are and what a joke THE AMERICAN is.

But as so many of us have asked you, why the hate? We don't play you (THANK GOD) . We probably never will play you. You live, I assume, in Texas.

But here you are. On the website of a school you have no rivalry with. Why?

It was Texas, and Texas A&M that turned you down. Not Marshall. That is how college works in Texas. Best and brightest to the top schools, and then down, with Houston near the bottom. Why not take your hate and spew your ignorance on a Longhorn board? They are where you wanted to go, but were not good enough.

Most doesn't encompass a few teams out of a 12 team league now does it. How about you provide some numbers for us this year and also during your craptastic 2014 year. Better yet, list all the figures and do a real comparison.

What was the attendance for Homecoming? I never heard
 
The weather has killed us two years in a row. Like it or not, its factor. I've watched tons of P5 games where the weather was less than ideal, all had many empty seats - LSU, MSU, Penn St, FSU, etc. It happens everywhere.
