UNT averaged 18,000 and some change. Not bad for 5-31 program after three years.

Oh, it's amazing how Louisiana Tech pushed exactly 100,000 fans through the turnstiles for five games, averaging exactly 20,000 per game. How do they do that? :blink:

They just did what all good Louisianans do.... they lied their asses off.

In Summary....Not bad numbers at all for our win-loss record! Some interesting comparisons.

SUNBELT-

We Beat out:

Ark St- 17.5k a game

FIU- 10.2k a game

FL Atl- 15.3 a game

LA Monroe- 13.8 a game

West Ky- 14.1 a game (with their record??? Kinda impressive)

We Had Less Numbers Than:

LA Laf- 18.6k a game (just barely)

Troy- 18.4k a game (we will beat them next year!)

Middle Tenn- 20.5k a game

Outside of Our Conference Teams that we Beat Out:

Akron- 17.3k a game

Ball St.- 10.8k a game

UAB- 17.9k a game

Ohio- 17.9k a game (they went to a bowl!)

Northern ILL.- 14.8k a game (Romo would be disappointed)

Nevada- 17.5k a game

New Mexico State- 16.5k a game

*Rice- a Dismal 13.5k a game

Other Interesting Comparisons

SMU- 21.3k a game (after the year they had?)

Central Mich- 19.7k a game (same as above?)

I would project that next year's numbers average out at 22k a game...reasoning is:

The Excitement about Canales and his potential

The Return of so many talented players....hopefully sharpened and elite by now

The Last Year of Fouts Field

and Foremost because we came so close to winning 5 extra games last year but couldn't seal the deal. The problems associated with this will hopefully be gone!

I would expect this number, or slightly higher, only because of the K-State game. It will be nice to have this game over T-giving than a game with ARSt. or another SBC school over T-giving.

Very true...but imagine the possibilities of a winning season and a new stadium on our side. The only thing that stinks is that we don't have too many big name teams coming to us yet for the next 4 yrs (after this one of course). I see no reason why we can't match C-USA averages with these variables in our pocket.

Didn't La-La have a home game against Southern that was absolutely packed that skewed that number somewhat?

When NT traveled down there the attendance was, well let's just say you could hold a church service in there...

True, but it was a HOME game in THEIR stadium. Smart scheduling.

Next year they open in a home game against Grambling in Shreveport. An African-American friend of mine from that area told me once that La Tech would never play Grambling and that if it ever happened you couldn't find a stadium in North Louisiana that could hold everyone who would want to see that game. The Mayor of Shreveport has already said that they expect a sellout. I suppose their numbers will improve dramaticly next year. It is interesting to note that recently they played Miami in Shreveport and could not fill it up.

They might have learned something from somebody else.

Remember, you are asking this about a state whose flagship university has to mark numbers every five yards because ten must be too big of a number.

the Tech/Grambling game is actually counting as a home game for Grambling.

      Softball Tournament Bracket

      After UAB swept us in the regular season, then proceeded to win more games we needed them to lose, and lose games we needed them to win, it's nice for ECU to put an end to their season. Hopefully we can win our fourth straight against the Pirates tomorrow.

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      If her team doesn't win, her market value and name recognition will quickly decline. The team as a whole and coach make the value.

      Coaching is still more valuable than players. If Tylor Perry and the same team played for Benford here instead of Grant we would have NO NIT Championship.

      Morris signals it is over

      I don't see the eventual SEC/BIG10 vs the world thing working out long-term. Sure, USC-Michigan may be fun once in a while but there's no history to support the matchup. There's no regional rivalry. Those college kids aren't a 2 hour drive away to terrorize each other. Eventually, they're going to alienate half the college football fanbase because some of us may watch these games on Saturdays right now because it's football and it's a new match-up but they mean nothing to us long-term either so we won't keep watching them. I don't care to watch an SEC or BIG10 game if it means nothing to the greater landscape of college football. These are not the games football fans want, it's the games networks want. It will fail. An Oregon State fan will never be an Oregon fan. A Texas Tech fan will never be a Texas fan. A Florida State fan will never be a Florida fan. The markets are what they are. They won't change. Not anytime soon at least. Good luck, networks. This is why y'all keep cutting your staff and losing money (especially you, ESPN).

      Morris signals it is over

      He is in retirement mode and not about to take that on. However, I would like to hear the AD's opinion on the subject. Strangely quiet in the castle lately. Is the Morris-talk code for we need to decide what to do with our limited funds? Buildings benefit more players and fans. But salaries seem to be top priority for players these days...then they leave us anyway!
