Who the coach is has ZERO, again I say ZERO effect on the attendance lol. The fact is, "MACtion" (god what a stupid name, I hate it with every fiber of my being) has been going on for over a decade and the results are in...It destroys the fanbase and the community around the football team. The MAC sold out it's schools for some extra cash, plain and simple. They had to know this was going to be the reaction, how could you not? I remember in 2004 playing Bowling Green on a weeknight, it was packed, but everyone in the student section was saying if we were playing Akron or someone else they wouldn't be there. And that was back when the MAC had more than one ranked team from time to time (I also think MACtion has weakened MAC football as a whole, but we can discuss that somewhere else). Anyway, as long as we are in the MAC we will play to empty stadiums on weeknights. It sucks and it's killing our football program, but i'm sure Jon Steinbrecher is enjoying his large pool and additional wing on his house.
