Schadenfreude: Where on earth have you been?? I thought you quit posting altogether.

Guys,
Remember back in the days of Marshall being in the MAC (second time around), how their fans constantly laid on "attendance smack"? That's why I found the thread on the C-USA board lambasting poor ol' WKU for not having a SO for the C-USA championship game last Saturday so amusing (although it's not just Herd fans criticizing WKU...mostly So. Miss fans)....some are suggesting that the game be held at the site of the C-USA school with the best attendance....sound somewhat familiar?? As I posted over there, if you can't beat 'em on the field of play, there is always that "attendance smack" as a back-up plan. (as lame as it is).

Actually, given the good weather and the fact that it was a Saturday game, it is kind of surprising WKU couldn't sell out their 22K stadium.......they ended up with about the same attendance we had at the neutral site Ford Field. I watched most of the C-USA title game and didn't think that the stadium looked that empty...just some areas in the upper deck on the ends were pretty open with empty seats.

The Kent State-No Ill championship was the first post-season game since the 1970s, so there was some pent-up demand for fans to go
