Re: Moving up
As MSU attendance continues to grow and seemingly attendance seems to dwindle at many other FCS schools, I'm reminded it doesn't matter. You just need to be in a big TV market and fudge the numbers:

Re: Moving up
Attendance shows 14566, capacity is 14000. Yep, they fudged the number just a little.

Our stands don’t look very full in the third quarter either. Nonetheless wouldn’t doubt the attendance is nowhere close to what they said.

This game was on ESPN U this morning. Half way through first quarter they panned to the stands. Well over half the stadium was empty.kwcat wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 9:45 amOur stands don’t look very full in the third quarter either.

Re: Moving up
MSU and Bozeman have outgrown the Big Sky Conference. Most of the stadiums on the road not to mention lack of attendance is not fair to our players. The density of wealth around the greater Bozeman area gives a us a huge advantage moving forward. Just a matter of time before we move to FBS.

Let’s win the BSC 5-8 times consecutively before we say we’ve outgrown anything

Re: Moving up
Look at what T.Boone Pickens did for Oklahoma State. We don’t need to win the BSC conference titles that many times to live up. Not necessary at all.

Re: Moving up
You should offer to help Leon. That way we can get the whales, I say harvest them in a pod instead of one at a time.

Haha I wish. I think Leon is the perfect an to get them. Would be nice if the President helped. People love to give her money. That’s obvious. Lots of people have gave huge amounts to Waded without ties to MSU.

Re: Moving up
Agree! It’s time for leadership to take a serious look at the next step and ensure the proper conversations are being had and implementing a plan of action. It’s especially paramount with the current landscape of college football.JohnGotti wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 3:18 pmMSU and Bozeman have outgrown the Big Sky Conference.

Re: Moving up
FBS schools are making long term decisions right now. There are maybe 5 FCS schools in the country that could make it an FBS level. If we are not proactive, we will be relegated to FCS forever.

The FCS is not where we want to be, moving forward. It will be us and a bunch of schools making the move up from DII

Re: Moving up
Because we beat a bunch of teams with no fans and a stadium barely above that of a junior high? Yah… noAFCAT wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2023 11:15 amCool!
