when we go to a P5 we bring a lot more fans than if we are playing say...Ball St. So to those NSU fans they are playing their "super bowl" just as the Tech fans would feel if Tech was playing LSU.

It makes a lot more sense playing a school a hour or so away than scheduling a FCS school 8 hours away.

Not really, I was told it was considerably less than last time in Ruston, max of a 1,000.

I just told ya'll that the NSU crowd was estimated to be approximately 700. That's not great considering NSU is only about 80 miles from Ruston. I think they (the NSU fans) were expecting a real beatdown this time so they stayed home.

That band is at the very least 300 strong and I assume the section next to the band belongs to them also. It is the visitor section and going by this picture (I assume late in the game) they had fans all through that side

I don't have a clue on their numbers but I do know every good play they made it sounded VERY loud...especially for only 700

Man, you and EE have a better observation than those actually at the game?

Hey dummy Of course I would have a better understanding of how loud something sounds ...LISTENING to the game. Than those at the game who were not listening to the broadcast .

COMMON SENSE....use it sometimes

Now I want you to show me a post by anyone at this game that said the NSU fans were not loud? You seem to get our pantie wadded up over any comment on Tech. Even something as simple as someone saying the 700 NSU fans were loud.

Lets see every game is shown on TV...LOCALLY. No dollar or five dollar night. Small population. Poor state. Two national championship and top all time programs (#1 & #6 ) with in 2.5 hours and both state schools.

The only one fighting that last part is UNCC and UAB. neither are figing the other problems of Small population base or every game being shown on live TV

So with that Western is sitting at 83% of butts in seats...17% of a full stadium. Would it look better and be better to fill those other 3900 seats? Sure it would.

But lets see which is more valuable to the conference....

17% of your seats sitting empty and winning 23 games over the last 2 seasons

Or having 4 to 5,000 more fans in the stands in a stadium that is half full and winning 7 or below games each of the last 2 years?

Seats sitting unused mostly only hurt that team. A team losing affects us all...

now out of these two has the larger negative affect on a conference...

1. 17% of your seats going unused and winning

2. 50% of your seats sitting empty even you are averaging 24k in attendance and losing

Lets be honest which do you think the average fan sitting at home watching a game is going to notice as a negative.....

only 18,600 fans in a 22k seat stadium winning
24,000 fans sitting in a half empty stadium losing

Lets just drop the winning or losing .....the average fan does not know or care the total number of butts sitting in those seats. The average fan will see a mostly full to a mostly empty stadium and take notice.

Man, talk about rationalization

lol I was thinking the same thing

If you though the same...why didn't you say it? I asked you a question on which do you think fans sitting at home watching on TV would notice more as a negative.

A stadium less than 50% (actually 1/3) full or one 83% full?

Only a idiot will think the average fan sitting watching on TV is going to say...

stadium looks mostly full but only 18,600 there.

The average fan couldn't tell you what either stadium held...nor do they care. But they can see when a stadium is more than half empty. They can see when that team is getting the dog crap beat out of them. That is what matters.

BTW what % of the fans is USTA getting? So you are telling me you are impressed with your school averaging 23,038 in a stadium that Capacity is 72,000 and playing in a city with a Population of 1.493 million

WOW! really impressive. 23k in a 72k stadium with a 1.5million base with in 30 minutes of that stadium to draw from

And you think other teams that plays in a stadium that is 83% full in a city of 60,000 is a problem... talk about rationalization

Me too. I can't follow WKUYG's posts anyway. It's like he's speaking a foreign language. I figure it has to have something to do with being a hillbilly. Just looking at his last post above will make a sane person dizzy. 01-wingedeagle And prior to that, he posted a 5 to 10 year old picture of a LA Tech game crowd against an opponent no one can identify, with no explanation that makes any reasonable sense. And then he has the audacity to call LA Tech fans over-sensitive? Yeah...THAT'S the problem. 03-lmfao You can't make this **** up.

Well the picture was in the box score on espn site for that game...

But honestly are you so freaking stupid you cant see the CUSA on the field? I believe first you said it was from Tech's WAC days...


So which is it 5 or 10 years ago? You are the expert on Tech and how old a picture is. Since this is Tech's 5th season in CUSA...let me repeat that 5th season. Explain to me how a expert like you could say the picture was 5 years old much less 10 years?

I'm sorry if it upset you that I said the visiting team sounded loud. I didn't know it was on espn3 so I actually went back and watched the 1st qter last night. Hell those 700 fans even sounded loud on TV.

But someone as freaking stupid as you actually thinks being at the game could say if they were or weren't loud. More so than someone who HEARD it.

As I said...got your panties in a wad. It would take someone as crazy as you to explain why.

RE: Week 1 Attendance
I don't think it really matters much if the visiting team sounded loud or not. We all hope the teams we play travel well so we generate more revenue from hosting game.

Let's just move on to week 2 and hope we all improve... in every way.

That is what I said and Tech fans took offense to it.

I did not watch the game but I listen to parts of it. The visiting fans were loud. I said that and It rubbed the Tech fans the wrong way.

I also said it's better to play a FCS team that is a hour away than one 8+ hours away because of larger crowds. I went on to say to those local FCS schools this is their super bowl. About like LSU would be Tech's. That we all take more fans on the road to those games than we do CUSA road games. The Tech fans took offense to this. Why they only know.

I can think of a couple reasons why La Tech fans hate anything a Western fan says.

Lol.

Lol.

If they keep it up I just might have to bring the "we almost did it" toddler out again.

Hell if they keep it up I might just send EE the pictures from this game. The real pictures not the one's the last 2 sections on each end and both sides cropped out of them. I couldn't understand why someone would give a low resolution fuzzy cropped picture. But last night...I watched part of the Tech game on espn3. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks as to why. It also explained why these Tech fans seem to be upset just by saying..."visiting fans sounded loud"

But for now I will stay out of that. Got a long drive (short for me) tomorrow and I have a feeling by the time I get home in the early morning hours on Sunday. I will have other things to worry about. Might be a lot longer drive back from Champaign, Illinois. Than going up there.

Quit squeeling like a little pig and just state your case.

I don't know exactly when that picture of the Tech game was taken, but I THINK it was during our last year in the WAC (2012). Another Dawg fan mentioned that the CUSA emblem was on the field --and it was-- but the LA Tech bench is clearly on the far (usually visitors) side of the field in the photo. That only happened during our WAC years. After Fresno St fans were caught throwing beer bottles at visiting players, the WAC forced all home teams in the WAC to sit in front of their own student body. It was called the "Fresno rule" at the time.

All this to say, I think LA Tech was still in the WAC when that particular photo was taken, but we had already accepted our invitation to CUSA. Clearly, it had nothing to do with what's going on today, or even in the last 5 years.

So which is it 5 or 10 years ago? You are the expert on Tech and how old a picture is. Since this is Tech's 5th season in CUSA...let me repeat that 5th season. Explain to me how a expert like you could say the picture was 5 years old much less 10 years?

I'm sorry if it upset you that I said the visiting team sounded loud. I didn't know it was on espn3 so I actually went back and watched the 1st qter last night. Hell those 700 fans even sounded loud on TV.

But someone as freaking stupid as you actually thinks being at the game could say if they were or weren't loud. More so than someone who HEARD it.

As I said...got your panties in a wad. It would take someone as crazy as you to explain why.

Quit squeeling like a little pig and just state your case.

I don't know exactly when that picture of the Tech game was taken, but I THINK it was during our last year in the WAC (2012). Another Dawg fan mentioned that the CUSA emblem was on the field --and it was-- but the LA Tech bench is clearly on the far (usually visitors) side of the field in the photo. That only happened during our WAC years. After Fresno St fans were caught throwing beer bottles at visiting players, the WAC forced all home teams in the WAC to sit in front of their own student body. It was called the "Fresno rule" at the time.

All this to say, I think LA Tech was still in the WAC when that particular photo was taken, but we had already accepted our invitation to CUSA. Clearly, it had nothing to do with what's going on today, or even in the last 5 years.


Are you so freaking stupid that you actually believe Tech had the CUSA logo on your field while playing in the WAC? After reading that... I will leave you alone. Precious, I'm sorry, now you run along and have sweet dreams. No matter what happens from here on I'm sure your mommy still loves her "Precious" little boy.

Me too. I can't follow WKUYG's posts anyway. It's like he's speaking a foreign language. I figure it has to have something to do with being a hillbilly. Just looking at his last post above will make a sane person dizzy. 01-wingedeagle And prior to that, he posted a 5 to 10 year old picture of a LA Tech game crowd against an opponent no one can identify, with no explanation that makes any reasonable sense. And then he has the audacity to call LA Tech fans over-sensitive? Yeah...THAT'S the problem. 03-lmfao You can't make this **** up.

Still squeeling, huh. You're so stupid you remind me of the hillbilly that came running into the store and said to his buddy, "Hey Al, somebody just stole your pickup truck." Al said, "Did you see who it was?" WKUYG the hillbilly replied, "I couldn't tell, but I got the license number!" 03-lmfao

A reporter asked WKUYG the hillbilly what he thought about the presidents civil rights bill. WKUYG answered: "If he owes it, I reckon he should pay it." 03-lmfao

WKUYG and another hillbilly were sitting on a porch. A dog walks up on the front lawn and starts to lick himself. WKUYG looks at the other hillbilly and says: “Man, I sure wish I could do that." The other hillbilly says: “Maybe if you pet him first." 03-lmfao

Lets see every game is shown on TV...LOCALLY. No dollar or five dollar night. Small population. Poor state. Two national championship and top all time programs (#1 & #6 ) with in 2.5 hours and both state schools.

The only one fighting that last part is UNCC and UAB. neither are figing the other problems of Small population base or every game being shown on live TV

So with that Western is sitting at 83% of butts in seats...17% of a full stadium. Would it look better and be better to fill those other 3900 seats? Sure it would.

But lets see which is more valuable to the conference....

17% of your seats sitting empty and winning 23 games over the last 2 seasons

Or having 4 to 5,000 more fans in the stands in a stadium that is half full and winning 7 or below games each of the last 2 years?

Seats sitting unused mostly only hurt that team. A team losing affects us all...

now out of these two has the larger negative affect on a conference...

1. 17% of your seats going unused and winning

2. 50% of your seats sitting empty even you are averaging 24k in attendance and losing

Lets be honest which do you think the average fan sitting at home watching a game is going to notice as a negative.....

only 18,600 fans in a 22k seat stadium winning
24,000 fans sitting in a half empty stadium losing

Lets just drop the winning or losing .....the average fan does not know or care the total number of butts sitting in those seats. The average fan will see a mostly full to a mostly empty stadium and take notice.

Man, talk about rationalization

lol I was thinking the same thing

If you though the same...why didn't you say it? I asked you a question on which do you think fans sitting at home watching on TV would notice more as a negative.

A stadium less than 50% (actually 1/3) full or one 83% full?

Only a idiot will think the average fan sitting watching on TV is going to say...

stadium looks mostly full but only 18,600 there.

The average fan couldn't tell you what either stadium held...nor do they care. But they can see when a stadium is more than half empty. They can see when that team is getting the dog crap beat out of them. That is what matters.

BTW what % of the fans is USTA getting? So you are telling me you are impressed with your school averaging 23,038 in a stadium that Capacity is 72,000 and playing in a city with a Population of 1.493 million

WOW! really impressive. 23k in a 72k stadium with a 1.5million base with in 30 minutes of that stadium to draw from

And you think other teams that plays in a stadium that is 83% full in a city of 60,000 is a problem... talk about rationalization

Relax dude. Geezus. Talk about going overboard. I didn't even read your whole reply.,

Your stadium looks like a lot of our high school fields here. as our other sports facilities look like HS facilities or below too. Yes, regardless I'd rather have a larger number in regards to attendance, 24k vs 16-18k. Because it adds up after years of attendance. It's just common sense. Our city is around 2.6-2.7 million. We have a ton of the population;Cowboys, UT, Baylor, Houston, Texas A&M, Texans, Texas Tech, ect fans. Military here that are from other states. It's a big city meaning there's more than just college football to occupy people with which might be different wherever you live with a pop of 60k. We've had CFB for a few years, so eventually our base will grow & that will turn into 30k+. We have had 3 losing seasons in a row, just think of what happens when we win.
