Boise fan Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 UTEP? Ick. Pass.I'd say drop Hawaii and add Houston. Nothing else to really do, unless a better TV contract is available. Or P5 schools want to join (and raise the value of our TV contract).Sorry, 'Bow. You guys should go indy.

Nevada Convert Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Those are the only reasonable choices. Schools with low attendance during winning seasons.Where's the "Don't be so butt hurt, Warbow" choice? Bad attendance in winning years as the criteria? Actually, our attendance and season tix have been going up with .500 years, and will certainly go up in future winning years. You know very well that our attendance was bad under Groth because she wouldn't count right or even count everyone there. You even agreed with that a few years back when you were at a H game in Reno and you said there were way more people there than was reported. One other thing to remember. Let's say that next year Hawaii has their first 3 of 4 games at home. 1st game is FCS, attendance is light. As expected, H Wins. 2nd game, H travels to North Texas and barely wins. Third game, H comes home and plays a #3 Oregon. With 2 wins against an FCS school and North Texas, many stay away from the anticipated blow out. H gets blown out. 4th game (3rd at home) H plays #17 Boise at home. Many stay away again expecting a blow out. But Hawaii pulls the upset!!!!!! Hawaii hits the road for 3 straight weeks on the road and beats AF, Utah St. and SDSU. So it's week 8, Hawaii is 6-1 with a #17 win, solid wins over 3 tough MWC schools on the road, and H is getting a decent amount of Top 25 votes.Returning home, the 8th game of the season against SJSU will draw solid numbers. My point is.....if you have a surprise winning year and you're normally not that great, you can play half your low attended home games until the fans can see that it's going to be a big winning season. So the 1st 3 home games are going kill the season average even if the last 3 home games draw big crowds. The same kind of thing happened to us in 2010 when we finished #11. After the 2009 season let down, lots and lots of people wanted Groth to fire Ault and start with new younger blood. So the surprise 2010 season coupled with Groth not counting to begin with led to disappointing numbers for such a big season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
