Not sure I follow your point. Our regular seats are pretty full most Saturdays compared to to our conference mates when I view App at away games or just watching SBC in general

I’d almost prefer everyone dog App in preseason polls. Great bulletin board fodder for an unproven team/coach.

True, dogging us will provide motivation.

Point is, nobody has any factual reason to justify App performing exceptionally well or poorly based on the degree of changes occurring with the program (unproven HC, new coaching staff/players/etc). And given the level of flux in the SBC it is reasonable to put us somewhere in the middle of the pack give or take. That is what analyst and writers appear to be doing.

The above is true. We do have a fanbase that shows up to KBS. It would be nice to see more folks show up for road games outside of Marsha, Georgia State and JMU.
Those are the closest conference games that have been played on Saturdays in recent seasons. There’s only been one road game at JMU and that was when we were hot and they hosted gameday.

Coastal gets a lot of visitors even though the game has been on Thursday.

I think our fanbase travels very well despite your recency bias.

You are bound and determined to make an argument with every one of my posts just to be a d!**. That’s not what I said at all, I’ve been to road games at ULM, Texas St., Louisiana, and Arkansas St. All of them on a Saturday and the majority of the folks there for App are parents of players.

There is no doubt that we do not have a huge fan base that travels to West side schools like ulm, arky st, Texas st, etc.

Okay to decent for SBC championship games at lala and Troy.

We probably travel in the top 1/3 of the SBC. But that isn't a high bar as some school struggle with home attendance.
