Can’t help
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers,
For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother

It's another reason to hope for a top 8 seed and a bye for the first round. It shows the commitment the administration has for football, knowing we would probably lose money.
Casual football fans had plenty to watch on TV. Clemson-USC is almost mandatory for Carolinians. The students were out of town. So who was supposed to go to this game? Furman dug up 2700 really devoted FCS football fans on the ultimate FBS Saturday. That’s pretty good actually.
Elon had a better fan showing than I thought they wouldFurmanoid wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 1:38 pmCasual football fans had plenty to watch on TV. Clemson-USC is almost mandatory for Carolinians.

To be honest the 2,700 crowd was making more noise than our 9,000 crowds do

Also, we paid NCAA, they do not care about attendance. Anyone have viewership numbers? Still doesn't matter.
See Kennesaw State for example with a smaller stadium than us. As long as they make money from the school, the fans do not matter.
Can't wait to win and bust this bubble.

Can someone explain the bidding process? So Furman and Elon bid on who got the home game?
Or is there more to the process?
Evidently, the NCAA does pick the first round games sites. The highest bidder does not automatically secure a home site. “Records show UND's bid to host FCS playoff game far exceeded Weber State's.” https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports ... ber-states
But WE care about attendance, particularly if we outkicked our coverage with our bid. If it does come down to us and Richmond (fingers crossed), their 3000 wasn’t much more than our 2717. And you have to question how real that 3000 number is since they reported exactly 3000 in attendance.JohnKX512 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 2:09 pmThis.The Jackal wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 11:49 amAt the same time, 2700 attendance would be Incarnate Word's second highest home game attendance this season.

I think our numbers are legit, I have been to other games/venues and they claim a big number, I'm there and its no where close to that number.
Pretty sure NCAA also gets a cut of total # of tickets sold to each game
Shite. I don’t know.
Glad the dins got a home game.

Playoffs are different than regular season games. It is actual tickets scanned at the gates 95% of the time as the schools have to give the NCAA some of the money. In the regular season everyone uses tickets sold vs. actual butts in seats. I do question the 3,000 figure from Richmond. Sounds fishy.
