How many mid majors pack their arenas on mid week games? It seems like every road Belt game I watch the other places are filled with empty seats.
I don't think matching other SBC programs attendance is the goal lol

Re: Cute bow vs Miami (OH)

Has it been a day? Time goes fast. You may not recall 2014, when App started 2-5. You may not remember 2004 where the back end of that season led to an unprecedented (up until that time) run of success. I'm seeing a lot of parallels to 2017 as well, where the team had amazing chemistry but dropped ...

Re: Cignetti

Everyone always overreacts based on who got the ny6 bowl that year. Some years, a 2 loss team gets in over a 1 loss team and everyone says "we need a stronger conference". Then Liberty gets in and everyone says "we need a weak schedule and go undefeated ". This year was a combination of Liberty goin...

Re: War Eggles/Plainsmen

Tate, Marsh, and Spillers combined for 32 points, 4 assists and 10 rebounds. What great additions these guys have been to an already solid team. I’ve seen Marsh in person the last two home games. If he stays for 4 years, it’s going to be a special time in Holmes. He blew my mind scoring over guys a...

Re: Congrats - Bowl Eligible

MAC Champion vs 2/3 Sun Belt team....kind of an insult to the MAC if you ask me. Gonna be a fun one They aren’t happy about it. I can’t blame them. Imagine we won 11 games and the Sun Belt and got 8-4 Jacksonville State. Not a good comparison. The Sun Belt is much better than the MAC. Who did Miami...

Not sure about the overrated chant considering Auburn isn't ranked.

Awesome win. Love seeing the students rush the floor. Great crowd and they sounded great in the TV.
That's always a head scratcher for me. Wouldn't you rather people think you're underrated rather than opponent being overrated?

I would have gone with my son if I could have gotten tickets. Frustrating to see entire sections empty. Another fail in an opportunity to build the basketball program.

Re: SBC Championship Game at Troy discussion

Seems like our d ran out of gas pretty early, which tells me we’re still thin there. Not really a surprise given how young we are in places. We’ve got some holes to fill, and will probably have more with the portal. Overall I thought we were better than the score indicated, but make no mistake, we ...

And there it is. Well I kind of expected to lose. But thought we’d keep it close.
You think the game is over in the first half down 2 scores? Have you never watched App football?

They actually said that App has never won the Belt Championship on the road. How many have there been? Like 5?

Re: Keep Joey 2024 - NIL

That's a question I'd like answered as well. I thought the whole point of this thing was to allow an athlete to get paid if either of those 3 things were being used on a game, advertising or some other form of promotion. I didn't think the intent was to simply pay a college athlete for play. That i...

Re: Congrats - Bowl Eligible

Flight to Orlando is fairly cheap (30k miles or $400). Might have to find a way to try and make that one… You can do it a lot less on Frontier or Spirit out of Charlotte. Currently from Charlotte, non stop roundtrip, Friday to Sunday, $63 dollars on Frontier. I flew Frontier in June for the first t...

Re: Austin Peay

I was there and was also surprised at the poor attendance considering how well the team is doing. 30k+ sports fans were in the area and got free admission.
