I just can't shake the feeling that EKU is the little brother to WKU, who is already the third-cousin of UK and Louisville. I understand EKU wanting to be FBS, but if the fans aren't there to support the program now, who is to say they will miraculously appear overnight IF they go FBS? It doesn't work like that. You don't go from 6,000 fans to 26,000 fans in nine months.
Hardly! EKU and WKU are both KY public universities. Very little difference in the two other than they are a member of CUSA. Yes, I know you have more students and have built new buildings in recent years.
We had approximately 17,000 students last year and EKU has and is Building and replacing old and outdated dorms and classrooms. I don't know what makes one a " little brother" or a "distant cousin", I do know it is thrown around on message boards as an insult.
BTW, why not check Western's attendance numbers before they moved to the SBC. Their best attendance was vs EKU. Once they made the move and upped their game attendance numbers increased, but they had to work at it. The naysayers are just that, they don't know what we can and will be able to accomplish. It amazes me the number of people who say we can't, while thinking all others can. Do you folks live in Richmond? Do you have inside knowledge that CCU can increase their attendance but EKU can't or won't? You know opportunities EKU has or does not have to make this a success? If you do then you must have psychic powers. And you will be hard pressed to find a Western fan to speak anything but negativity regarding EKU, that's just the way it is.

While many won't admit it, most of us in the SBC are considered "little brothers" to someone in their state by public perception.

This is true:
1. We are 20 miles south of Lexington and UK. Have always been, yet when we had a conference with teams our fans were interested in, we had no problems putting butts in the seats. UK isn't going away and we can't move EKU. There are enough people in central KY and Richmond/Madison Co. to fill both stadiums.
2. Someone mentioned they did not like Richmond. No offense to anyone, but the majority of time you go to away game, you go to the game and return home. If you are indeed looking for things to do, again Lexington is 20 miles away. Go to Kenneland or visit the Horse Park or the horse farms in central Ky. The bourbon trail also goes through central KY. For those of you from App Stare that want some local culture, a la, Blowing Rock, Berea is a short 10 minute drive south, Boonesboro and White Hall, both historical land marks are in Madison County, 10 minutes from downtown Richmond. We don't have an ocean.
3. Someone made reference to our lack of a established football program. Please do your research. EKU is one if the winningest programs in all of FCS. In fact I believe we are second to Montana in all time playoff appearances, we have 4 national championship appearances, and two national championships. We have won the OVC conference championship more times than any other team in the OVC. Our record recently stands equal to JSU which some people are saying is more worthy of an invite than EKU based on their accomplishments.
4. EKU just won the commissioners cup for over all athletic achievement for 3 out of the last 4 years, we have also won that more times than any other OVC school.
There are so many misconceptions regarding EKU thrown out, it is hard to address them all. I am not going to dis other schools while touting EKU like I have seen others do. But, I will say we are doing what needs to be done at EKU to move forward. There's a lot going on and not enough time and space to write about it all. We may not get a SB invite but EKU will continue to move forward with the progressive leadership we finally have in place.
Homework done, mind changed. EKU, JMU and Liberty not in that order. You do realize we got the same treatment and be prepared to have all your FCS wins and accomplishments discounted. Let's not forget about knowing your place. And you should never expect to win that's a big no no in the SB. That comes from a long history of losing.
You'll get the hang of it.

(Keep in mind, I like the idea of EKU. I don't see your location as a true hindrance, as we are in a similar situation).
You could have had a 10 year run as national champions at the FCS/I-AA level... But if it was 50 years ago, does it really have an impact on today's team?
And don't mention commissioner's cup trophies. People are a bit on edge about that on this board.
Lol...no it was not 50 years ago, if it was, that would make me 90 years old...that's what I mean about facts. Yes, our national prominence was in the 1980's and 90's, however my point is that our program is as good as Liberty, JSU and Missouri State, all that have been mentioned as "more successful" programs and it is just not so. Not that I or any EKU fan is satisfied at where we are. Same with the leadership at EKU. It is believed that Coach Hood (head football coach) is on the hot seat, and if things aren't better, he'll be gone. EKU just released the baseball coach because of his recent record. Prior to this administration, EKU very seldom made those kind of changes. Know that football drives the bus, but JSU has been mentioned, what about their basketball team and their basketball facilities? I know you said don't mention a commissioners cup, but EKU's over all sports program is the best in the OVC year in and out, I don't expect that will change.
Keep in mind... my statement of 50 years was a round number pulled out of a hat to demonstrate the difference between current success and historical success.
Didn't mean for that to be taken literally.
I understand that. However, many folks would interpret that as such.
Also, I believe that our recent success or lack of is no different from the others that may be considered....Mo St, JSU, Liberty and CCU. And over all athletic programs are probably a little better. Definitely better than JSU as our basketball program is more successful, and as mentioned earlier we have won the commissioners cup 3 out of the last 4 years and more times than any other OVC school. Also I would have to look it up to know exactly, Mo St, Liberty, and CCU, but think we are most likely even with W's/l's vs those teams and I know we are even with JSU. If it mane that much, I certainly can find it.

Serious questions while we are at it. Does EKU sponsor soccer? The SBC just started mens soccer and we need more teams in the league.
I know all about EKU football and their championship history. I don't follow basketball but I do follow baseball and the SBC is a strong baseball conference.
How has EKU done recently in these roundball sports?
Women's soccer.
Basketball
Finished second in the conference regular season this year. Lost by 1 point to Belmont in the OVC tourney, Belmont won the OVC tourney, also beating Murray State by 1 point.
2014. Won the OVC tournament. Played Kansas in the NCAA's. Ouch!
We have finished in the top half, close to the top in recent years. Without looking it up I can't remember each year's finish spot.
Men and women's golf team both won the conference championships this year, as did men's tennis
Cross country and track always strong.
Baseball did not fare so well....head baseball coach's contract not renewed. ( probably did not help his cause that the EKU club baseball team won the Club World Series beating Penn State 5-1 in the final game...?)

Number 3. Yes you have a successful history but EKU hasnt really done anything as far as playoff caliber football in 10 years or more. Not sure but when was the last time EKU went to the playoffs? Not trying to be rude, just curious. You guys were good back in the 80's when I played. I played against you guys once and yall had a running back named Elroy Harris that was like 6'0 230 and very fast, probably would have been an NFL back but he got in some trouble if not mistaken. You also had a fullback on that team that started in the NFL for years, cant remember his name but he blocked for the Buss at Pittsburgh. He was more like a tailback playing fullback.

I don't get some of the opinions either.
EKU needs to expand and MSU is ready they have a smaller stadium .
Someone else posted twenty five thousand is the minimum needed.
FIU had 20k WKU 22k and the undefeated SBC champion Georgia Southern has 22k.
CCU's academics are to low yet they rate higher than Boise ST and some current SBC members.
Some schools haven't invested enough money when two schools rent stadiums on the cheap.

I know all about EKU football and their championship history.
The facts concerning EKU's championship history.
Won 2 1-AA National Championships.
First in 1979 when most teams were still D-I and only 4 teams were in the playoffs. Second in 1982 with only 8 teams making up the playoff bracket.
Have not won a playoff game since 1994.
Three conference championships in the lightly regarded OVC since 2000.
Their 1982 NC was the last won by an OVC school.
As I said before WHY should our past accomplishments be a problem? How many national championships period have the three other schools being mentioned won? Here is the head to head record of EKU vs the others.
EKU 6 JSU 6
EKU 2 Liberty 0
EKU 1 CCU 1
EKU 1 Mo State 1
All in RECENT years.
That's all I am saying, although our past history is much better than recent. The others mentioned hold no advantage over EKU. You may not like us App Man, but that does not mean we are not as competitive as the rest. One more thing that I mentioned before, no one at EKU is happy with our recent record and I would not be surprised IF things don't get better there will be more changes and I am not talking facilities.

Your past accomplishments aren't a problem, but they can't be used to highlight your program either. I think Appman was just saying we have to look at where you stand now not at what you did 30+ years ago.
So the way understand it is this, EKU got support when they were 30 years ago. Since then the product has suffered and the crowds went away. Yet now we are to believe that they will be able to compete in FBS and the crowds will return.
How long has Kentucky sucked at football??? How long did it take WKU to win an FBS game once they made the move??? What makes anyone believe that EKU will be any more successful then past history??? What have you guys done to show you can compete???
Leave EKU and Missiouri St in the FCS.

Stadium size should not matter GS for years only had 14440 seats. That being said we were always over capacity a lot of years averaging 20000. We had a few mediocre years too but still pulled in over capacity. I said that to say this you can build a 50k stadium if you don't have a loyal fanbase they ain't show up just for a new arena.

Hey, EKU's attendance is abysmal. Certainly NOT worthy of FBS. But, without that big game with MSU last year y'all at South Alabama wouldn't have made 15,000.
Good thing your bringing in NC State this year. Those two big games are what's going to keep your attendance heads above water.
Good grief if MSU came to Statesboro, there wouldn't be a blade of grass visible to sit on.

Does it really matter how long USA has been playing football? Does it reduce the validity of his statement?
Or are you just lacking a response and therefore trying to act incredulous by claiming playing football longer means you'll have more success?

I am not claiming anything. But this person has done nothing but shoot down EKU.
My only point is this: he/she obviously does not want us, thinks we are not worthy, discounts anything that our program has done and the POTENTIAL we have, all by a fan of school who started a program from scratch. IMO that's absurd. Just my opinion, just like all the speculation that we "can't" make a successful move is someone's opinion based on arbitrary speculation from people who mostly know about EKU from what they read on a message board.

Just because my school started football over the last 5 years doesn't mean I've only been a football fan for five years. I've been keeping up with sports of all types in many different locations, and I know my history of those teams. I never once championed South's ability to fill seats, I've personally been underwhelmed by our attendance, but like you said, we've only been playing for 5 years, we are still building tradition and support. What is your excuses???
So... In other words, yes, you have no other response, so you attack the poster, not the message?
We call that "ad hominem".
I'll go ahead and chime in: What has EKU done (football) in the past decade? What are the attendance figures like for the past 10 years? Is it on an upward trend or downward? How many playoff appearances?
Trying to claim glory based on championships that happened before most college students were born isn't really that great or much of a selling point.
And before you attack Texas State's credentials, our situation was different, as we are in a recruiting hotbed (Texas), and there was a definitive need for at least one football playing Texas school in the Sun Belt. We provided value (much like the Sun Belt provided us a home... nice mutually beneficial agreement). Our absolute mediocrity (and I'm being generous here) in FCS was not even a consideration, as we had other benefits.
IMHO, I did not attack this person. That's the problem with message boards you can read whatever you want into any post. As far as responding, I have replied over and over, actually I am tired of it as I am sure most of you are. I have addressed the attendance issue as have several others. I have addressed the location of EKU and the stadium issue. I have not addressed Kentucky football ( I'm not talking UK here, but high school) and the can't succeed because we are in KY. So here are three words for you: University of Louisville.

You are correct, I misspoke. You didn't attack the person, you tried to discredit his statements/questions by claiming the absurdity of his post due to his university's "newness" to football.
I can say this because you avoided his questions totally, and focused solely on how long his school had sponsored football. See below.
