I got 2% less weeds in my yard than my Georgia Southern neighbor. Go CUSA!

There's more to lawns than percentage of weeds! Which lawn is more valuable to the conference? You have to consider fan support for your lawn (do people turn and look when they drive by?), amenities (how are the trees, shrubs, etc?) and on-field performance (can you roll around in your lawn with your shirt off and not be itchy after?)

I think the real question here is how much we all subsidize our lawns.

good question, but too many differences in how each state looks at lawn subsidizes. Besides, if you lawn never wins the neighborhood competition, should it really be subsidized anyway?

ODU is up to 37,000 followers

clt yawns. Let's talk MySpace stats

For crying out loud, add the ODU football and the AD department tweets together!! Actually, I consider the whole list to be crap because some follow the AD tweets for football and some follow the football manager's tweets. I'd just prefer to add all of 'em together for the whole list and then see what we got.

For C-USA, we have this:

Charlotte: 35.7 K
FAU 50K
FIU 22.5 K
LaTech 31.9 K
Marshall 40 K
Middle Tennessee 41.9 K
UNT 34 K
Old Dominion 47.6 K
Rice 15.7 K
USM 76.5 K
UAB 28.5 K
UTEP 88.4 K (approximately. Could be more, but the football page is N/A)
UTSA 31.7 K
WKU 46.9 K

ODU does a lot better in this one, but UTEP & USM claim top honors.

Adding UTEP athletics, football and mbb together gets you to 95k.

Adding ODU athletics, football and mbb together gets you to 60k.

I follow all three accounts. UTEP athletics, football and basketball. It's fair to assume that in some capacity some of the football and basketball followers are the same that follow the athletics page.

I'd guess a large percentage. Our Athletics page seems to just retweet the specific sports tweets

Yes, probably all of them. The UTEP athletic account now has over 90k followers by itself.

We have gained 1,700 followers in the last 10 days. Hopefully we can hit 100,000 by the end of summer.
