LOL...Good luck with that. Interestingly, I didn't know what that was until recently. Didn't realize people were giving me rep points. But.... +2 for you now.

Wow I just discovered that as well...I really pissed off some memphis fans at one point...

+2 for pissing off Memphis fans.

You have got to be kidding. Watch the Nashville TV sports news tonight. We'll get coverage on all 4 Nashville stations.

You guys are on radio when you're doing well-- Taggart a coupla times, and last year when you made the NCAA Tourney.

I rarely hear WKU stuff, and listen about every day. I do like WKU grad Kevin Ingram on the 104.5 morning show.

Vandy has just now started to get more coverage. It's been all about Doolittle Dooley and the sucking Titans for the past several weeks.

I think he's talking historically. But the point is neither school gets every day coverage from the Nashville media unless we are doing good.

Of course the Nashville market is going to give more coverage to a state school 40 miles away but in all honestly most of that coverage is secondary coverage. Till the MUTS (or WKU) get good on a consistent bases and get in the poll year in year out that's all either of the schools will get.

But I do remember a time when WKU lead off the channel 5 sports coverage just about anytime we played a basketball game. It's been many years ago but if WKU became a fixture in the polls I'm sure the coverage would increase....same with the MUTS.

But I think what's over looked in all of this media market...WKU and the MUTs gives a conference 2 shots at that market.

That's your basis for your argument. Wow, that's weak. One guy says he's seen more WKU than MT in the Nashville market historically? To tell the truth, I believe the same.....years ago...many years ago.

Hope Hine use to lead off the sports section of the news Just like this on a lot of nights. This isn't "stock coverage" on most home games Channel 5 sent a crew to BG.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaEKuhJ77jY

From Channel 4 sports in Nashville

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNstADbkSbU

Like I said it wasn't uncommon to find Western leading off the sports coverage or be on right after Vandy or UT on the Nashville News.

WKU - Nashville SportsFest

Just sayin....

Ok, i'll spell it out.

They're not interested in WKU football.

They're interested in Bobby Petrino - the lying d-bag coach who led his team to a BCS game and was afterwards canned thanks to a sordid affair with a coed. Coincidentally, one that no school with any shred of integrity would touch with a 50 foot pole.

If that's what WKU has to do to get noticed - so be it.

Holding a WKU-UK game in Nashville is bad marketing, and it's a huge missed opportunity the WKU AD and fans will regret when they reflect on it.

Flip it around: MT and UT playing in Bowling Green makes no sense, and we have alumni in Bowling Green. Or Louisville & UK playing in Cincinnati because Lexington is across the river from Ohio. WKU had an opportunity to play UK at home on campus....guaranteed sell-out, tickets could have been $100. If a neutral site was desired, they could have played in Louisville to capture more Kentucky market for long-term benefit.

Instead, they schedule the Battle for Kentucky in Nashville? Fans will attend the game and say: "What a great Tennessee stadium with a sweet view of Nashville's skyline on a beautiful Middle Tennessee evening.....and why the heck are we here?" And yes, it will be on the front page of the sports section in Nashville for one day, and people all across Middle Tennesse will read it Sunday morning and say "what the heck....".

I agree. This game being played in Nashville makes little sense.

HAHA, You really think UK would have played us in our home stadium? What opportunity do you think we had? You are clueless with that statement...

Do the math and you will see how much sense it makes.

First off WKU isn't going to put a $100 price tag on this one game and end up losing 2000 season tickets sales. At this point season tickets sold is a big deal. Same thing at $50 for this one game...it would hurt season ticket sold.

Now that we have that out of the way lets get to a little math....

24,000 x 35 at home = 840,000 but that's paid attendance and with a average of 4800 students attendance it brings the number of paid tickets to 19200 =$672,000 but we aren't finished yet..in my opinion the student number jumps for this game to well over 6,000 and we can't forget that students can buy as many guess tickets as they want for $6 so add in another 1,000 for guess tickets ..

you now have 6,000 out of the 24k as free tickets and another 1,000 ay $6 so total on tickets sold would be $636,000 if WKU played this game at home. Played in Nashville on a Saturday night, first game of the season, with both schools having new head coaches and uk with the revenge factor...= 50,000 to me but lets drop that to 40,000 and the total is 1.4 mil for the gate.

Nashville is a 45 minute drive and Louisville 2 hours and keeping it in state or not isn't important because just like with entertainment most people in BG would travel to Nashville a 45 minute drive than Louisville.

And I will end on this...the higher the price is (at this point) the lower the number of season tickets you will sell. SEASON TICKETS SOLD should be the biggest goal at all SBC schools. That's how you build a fanbase and at some point hope to be able to get rid of the cheaper tickets....winning and season tickets

Why in the world would the "Nashville" SportsFest want a coach from WKU if WKU is outside their market?

Hmmmmm....maybe WKU is in their market.


104.5 The Zone reaches Bowling Green

Why did the Tennessee Titans target Bowling Green for season tickets holders?

Hmmmm....maybe Bowling Green is in their market
