Great,you drop out of tge ACC and take them both. Its easy to support these teams as long as tgey are not in your own neighborhood. Move along.

This will be my first and last [post on this board..nothing about the AAC excites me when Cincy, Memphis and Houston/Uconn leaves. What a awful basketball conference this would be.

Anyways back to the S. Miss fan. The sections Western gave you only holds 3000 fans and the sections you had were not close to being full. Counting the band, maybe 1500-1800. I know we all love to brag about the size of things being bigger than they are but if S. Miss has 300 band members (which I believe I read that somewhere) it might help figure it out.




As for the attendance the official number was 14,500 (stadium holds 23k not counting the berm 1500-2000) I would guess maybe 20k was the total butts. CUSA makes students pay and since this was a CUSA event they got the money from the tickets sold. Western had a sponsor that bought 1500 tickets for students. My guess there were between 6000 and 6500 students there. Students show their ID and they walk in....

even with only 1500 paid for NO student was turned away. So unless Western wanted to pay $30 for each of those 4500 to 5000 students then the announced attendance had to met the paid gate. The new side was full and the berm holds between 1500 and 2000 (not counted in the 23,000 that the stadium holds.

Put 1500 students that were sitting on the berm into the empty seats you see in this picture and no way are there more than 3,000 empty seats. Probably under 2k. So attendance or butts in the seats was between 20k and 21k





Here's a pano shot of that crowd....the fans on the berm (middle of the picture) are not counted in the 23,000 the stadium holds.

Now you can g back to pimping to join the schools who couldn't get away from S. Miss fast enough. I'm only here because I am wasting a couple hours before I leave to go fishing this morning. And made the mistake of following a link to this silly stuff.

But I don't blame ecu fans for wanting Army and other losing football programs...hell they need to pad that record.

Lets set the record straight...

Western is

3-0 vs current AAC schools over the last 3 seasons. Two over Navy and one over USF
3-3 vs SEC schools over the last 4 season with the losses coming At #1 Bama, #9 LSU and Tenn
13-0 currently vs CUSA (including 2-0 over S. Miss and the games were not close)...2 games away from breaking S. Miss's 14 game run. But then again S. Miss's run came against some of these AAC powerhouse schools so we really can't compare...

RIGHT?

Now that is one great post! Everything said was factual. Totally agree with everything said. I don't miss any home games and I can tell you that you are right on the attendance of the championship game being around 20K.

If WKU is chosen to go to AAC to replace Houston, Great! If we stay in CUSA, Great! WKU will still be a championship program regardless where we are at. We were the top Athletic program in the OVC, Sun Belt, and so far CUSA. See a pattern here? It would be no different in the AAC.

I doubt that WKU is a university that most AAC members would choose, but I believe that you have to have been a long time southern basketball fan or have spent some time in Bowling Green to fully understand what WKU brings to the table. Its really a great place with probably more basketball legacy than any current AAC member except the Bearcats. +Corvettes. I really like the university and community.

Not exactly. WKU owns and runs a community college which skews our acceptance percentage. The main campus (WKU) acceptance rate is actually around 70%. Those students who become successful at the community college can then attend the university. Athletes aren't going to take a year or two off to attend the community college before becoming students at WKU. As a public university, it's the duty of the university to provide opportunities for all students in our area, thus the community college.

I have been shocked at the improvement in our football team. We have made progress well above my expectations. Given we are in Ky, maybe my expectations were too low.lol

At least we have one thing in common, your opinion of WKU and mine of ECU is the same.

What bowl game did ECU play in last year? Oh, sorry....you didn't. With only 7 winning seasons out of your last 15 seasons, I know it's hard for ECU to keep track of whether you played in a Bowl last year. Winning only 2 of your last 9 Bowl games, it's probably good ya'll didn't get to play in a Bowl last year.

When was the last time ECU was in the Top 25?...oh, sorry....it's been 21 years. Heck, ya'll have only been ranked 3 years out of the last 50 years.

Put 1500 students that were sitting on the berm into the empty seats you see in this picture and no way are there more than 3,000 empty seats. Probably under 2k. So attendance or butts in the seats was between 20k and 21k

13-0 currently vs CUSA (including 2-0 over S. Miss and the games were not close)...2 games away from breaking S. Miss's 14 game run. But then again S. Miss's run came against some of these AAC powerhouse schools so we really can't compare...

RIGHT?

Yep, those good ole days

S. Miss 14 wins over 3 seasons

Houston 3-8
Memphis 2-9
East Carolina 6-5

Schools who put money into their programs do not have the best days behind them and the schools in this conference put money into their programs. WKU makes 200,000 a year intv money and had it not been for Southern Miss and Marshall your school woukd probably be playing for free.

Tv contracts are about present and future, tv execs pulled their money from CUsa once your school and others arrived and followed these so called rear view mirror schools to tbeir new conference.WKU helped bring about one of the most dramatic losses of revenue in college sports memory.

So the people paying the bills believe ECU and those in the AAC are worth X dollars and WKU is worth X minus the value that ECU and their peer schools took. So whose bestbdays are ahead of them and whose are behind them? Money talks and its talking about value vs little to no value.

Your stats are comical and long winded,in the end ,Southern Miss saved your bacon with the value they give CUSA. Tv exes dont give money based on a manipulated narrative they give money on the bottom line and real world value. Based on what you are getting paid I think its obvious whose best days are inthe rear view mirror.

WKU played in the Miami Beach Bowl against USF. WKU won 45-35.

What bowl game did ECU play in last year? Oh, sorry....you didn't. With only 7 winning seasons out of your last 15 seasons, I know it's hard for ECU to keep track of whether you played in a Bowl last year. Winning only 2 of your last 9 Bowl games, it's probably good ya'll didn't get to play in a Bowl last year.

When was the last time ECU was in the Top 25?...oh, sorry....it's been 21 years. Heck, ya'll have only been ranked 3 years out of the last 50 years.

But hey, ya'll have lots of fans. You got us there. Woohoo!!!

Lol 12-2 and Miami Beach Bowl. Is that the biggest bowl WKU has played in?

We've been to a bowl 8 of the past 10 seasons. The fact we fired our coach for not making a bowl with his 4th string qb should let you know that we usually make a bowl game.

We were in the top 25 year before last, top 15 I believe.

Ranked 3 of the past 7 years

Those students who become successful at the community college can then attend the university. Athletes aren't going to take a year or two off to attend the community college before becoming students at WKU. As a public university, it's the duty of the university to provide opportunities for all students in our area, thus the community college.

That's dumb why not just team up with community colleges like normal schools

Many public universities have this model. Penn State and USCe just to mention two. But usually the acceptance rate and graduation rate is for the main 4 year university not including the 2 year unit.

That's what I said

You said team up as In GSU used to team up (partner) with Georgia Permeter College. We have since absorbed them and they are now a 2 year unit of GSU.

Same thing

Um no...partnering is not the same as merging with and running a 2 year school under your corporate umbrella.
