SunBelt Schedule

[NewApp]

If ESPNU reached 7M people it would be like the FCS of ESPN networks. 71M isn't Mickey Mouse as someone called it earlier.

I called it mickey mouse and I am sticking with that and my comparison to the FCS of the ESPN networks. You don't have to agree with me and vice versa. I think we got the shaft this year schedule wise, and hope this does not become the norm.

ESPN 93M
ESPNU 71M

ESPNU might be the G5 of the ESPN networks, but not the "FCS".

The only part of the scheduled we got "screwed" on was the Thanksgiving game (2nd year in a row). We want to be the SBC game of the week and get on TV. This isn't about what's best for my personal schedule, this is about what is best for the program.

If we continue to have success in the SBC we will play 2 or 3 mid-weeks games and when we play GS, Ark St., ULL at home those games will be mid-week games.

Mid-week games suk.

Nothing sells the Sun Belt brand (and Appalachian State's) like an enthustiastic, sellout crowd. Nothing cheapens it like a half-empty stadium.

Totally agree, Charlie.

I agree 78 - The most disappointing thing for me about the SunBelt (realistically the only disappointing thing) has been the dismal crowds at our away games - several were pathetic !!!

Some where terrible no argument there, I'm looking at you GA St (and others).

However just to put it in context (even with 7 mid-week games) in 2014 the SBC (without App and GS) averaged over twice what the SoCon brings in. NCAA doesn't have the 2015 data posted yet.

SoCon is FCS, you know, Mike. I don't see how a comparison of the SoCon to the SunBelt is relevant. Too, we and Georgia Southern aren't there anymore to raise the attendance.
