Just catching up on the game thread. I would've hoped for better, but to me attendance is basically an irrelevant metric this season. Too many people concerned with getting out and people are accustomed to everywhere being limited capacity. Plus the fan experience is greatly diminished with no tailgating, Blazer Village, wearing a mask, switching seats, etc. No one in the country is looking at attendance numbers this year.

On recruiting, I do wonder why our classes haven't been more at the top of the league with our success, new football facility, great school, and location. That's not to say we haven't gotten some studs like McBride or Malachi Bennett in the 2021 class, but just wondering why we haven't seen more of that. Maybe it's LF holding us back still? Or CUSA in general? Clark is obviously great at doing more with less and is getting good enough players to win the West division each year. I'd like to see us take a step up in recruiting though. Maybe that comes when we're playing in the new stadium and recruits come see how nice it is and how our gameday environment is better.
