Not 6 months ago, they were discussing whether or not they should return to D2

Not really. Just the usual faculty complaining. No one with authority to make a decision was contemplating that.

They do crack me up though. I'll read the box score and they had 105% of capacity then look at game photos or video and the place is about 70% full at best in football.

We played there in basketball on the Wednesday of Thanksgiving. I didn't go because we were getting ready for the holiday but it was their second largest crowd in history. They had one concession stand open, one ticket window open and were totally overwhelmed trying to deal with crowd and it was less than UALR draws on a good Saturday.

Our largest crowd ever was set this past season. Before that, Memphis always drew the big crowds.

UCA has drawn well in Jonesboro, but the majority of the extra crowd they bring is casual interest because in state matchups are so rare in Arkansas. Its not like UCA sent a large # of fans up here.
