Sorry, will try to fix the formatting today when I have a chance. Could not get it to paste as a table.

Here are the SBC numbers through week 2 (out of 117 qualified QB's): RK PLAYER TEAM ATT COMP PCT YDS YDS/A LONG TD INT RAT 14 Graham Wilbert FAU 45 35 78 386 8.6 39 3 0 172 25 Kawaun Jakes WKU 54 38 70 474 8.8 40 4 2 161 37 Logan Kilgore MTU 55 37 67 418 7.6 38 4 1 152 63 Jake Medlock FIU 75 46 61 557 7.4 67 3 0 137 64 Corey Robinson TROY 90 57 63 649 7.2 55 4 1 136 70 Ryan Aplin ARST 87 52 60 606 7 72 4 1 131 77 Kolton Browning ULM 67 42 63 412 6.1 27 3 1 126 78 C.J.

For complete listing go HERE. (NOTE: tried to format where it is more readable, but this is as close as I could get.)

What strikes me is how difficult it is for us to maintain a balanced home/away schedule. The money games solve one problem, but create another. This year is a perfect example. The next couple of years will be tough. Hopefully we can convince an Idaho, New Mexico St, recent move ups and/or regional FCS teams to come to our place without having to guarantee a return visit, at least for the next few years. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Either way, just the current games on the schedule coupled with the new CUSA schedule is going to be a welcome change.

Sorry if I missed it. Has there been discussion that we may get Idaho on the schedule at home next year? If so, that would be a nice add.

I ran across the following info regarding future OOC games. Does this look accurate? North Texas Future Non-Conference Opponents - 2012+ 2012 09/01 - at LSU 09/08 - Texas Southern 09/15 - at Kansas State 10/06 - at Houston 2013 09/21 - at Georgia TBA - Ball State TBA - at Ohio 2014 08/30 - at Texas 09/06 - SMU 10/04 - at Indiana 2015 09/12 - at SMU 09/26 - at Iowa 2016 09/03 - SMU 09/10 - at Florida TBA - at Army 2017 TBA - Army TBA - at Iowa TBA - at SMU 2018 TBA - at Army TBA - at Arkansas TBA - SMU 2019 TBA - Army TBA at Tennessee

Is this bad? Ouch, epic interview fail.

I agree on any option for high schoolers, grade schoolers, youth groups, etc... that fill the seats. Once you start filling it up, then worry about slowly pulling back and charging for tickets once the demad is there. There are countless ways to with this. Corporate sponsors are another way that has been mentioned, and done elsewhere. Bucket of chicken anyone?

It is likely that the empty wing formation we were sporting last night was a result of most people that bought general admission tickets moving into better seats closer to the field. After seeing the stadium for the first time, I had mixed emotions about the wing. I had the family in tow so all the kids wanted to go to the top to see the view. Damn, that is a lot of steps to get to the top corner, and if you are not particularly fond of heights like I am... Well, let's just say that I used the row of steps that were not next to the edge of the wing to walk back down. Cool feature though. Provides some uniqueness instead of the same old bowl shape that everyone else has. I have seen photos of the upper levels at places like A&M, I can't imagine what the view from the top at those places would be.

Golf tournament in the morning, decked out in Green for sure, then on the way to Apogee with a group of 10. Can't wait.
