Interesting stuff, Cat79. Thanks for the link.

Looks like Attendance is weighing TXST down. I see us improving across the board after this season. Also interesting is our ranking above Marshall. Wow!

By this, AppState is higher than a lot of call-ups. How come they didn't get the call?

Football attendance and success. Hopefully they both improve. Success breeds attendance.
