no offense, but no FBS teams, only show within 200 miles, back to back NCs, etc....

Good for them.

I see now why they had no interest in contacting us about a game. They simply did not need to. Yes, they should be a power again this year, but even Appy came back down to reality after their 3 championships. They are in a "Perfect Storm" at the moment.

Yes, but I have no doubt that if they had 5000 more seats to sell, they'd be able to sell them. We allocate 8,000 for students, they only give 4,000 to their students. That gets them right there close to our totals.

Can't teach size. They have a lot of it.

My post was really more about us than them. Some seem to be making a big deal about us not selling out every game. NDSU's situation is different than ours (like you pointed out with the perfect storm reference). Winning championships or elevating your status generates excitement, which puts butts in the seats. FWIW, NDSU averaged 16K the two years before the trophies.
