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

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. 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. 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.
