17,190 Highest attendance ever!

Re: 17,190 Highest attendance ever!

I don't know who is in charge of scheduling but it needs to be looked at.

It almost makes me as mad as when the schedule Cubs vs Cardinals games for Saturday afternoons when the draw would be just as big on Tuesday afternoons. Play the freaking Brewers or Pirates on the weekends!

Play Indiana State or South Dakota for homecoming (15K +)
Then play SIU (15K+)

Though I think you are right, I think that it is also important to have these "huge" games like this too. I don't have a problem with SIU for homecoming, as I think marquee games like that with huge sellouts can help build the fanbase. So maybe doing this helps us in the long run.

But you are right though, we could probably get more total people at the games this season, if we scheduled a lesser team for homecoming.

FOTY, you have nothing to apologize for. What you've just encountered is par for the course.

You can apologize to a loaded diaper, but you're still dealing with something that's full of....

Well after all that discussion, mostly productive, let me steer this thread back to the original thought... It was great to see such an energy packed full house and I wanted to share the picture that I found amongst my shots from the game. I also wanted to get us, as fans, to start preparing to rally behind our guys for the South Dakota State game.
Now - LET'S GO PANTHERS!!! BEAT THOSE BUNNIES!!!

Yes, but that's because there are other teams that are closer and make for shorter trips in the later rounds. If you look at the brackets, you'll see they're set up to not only minimize first round plane trips but also in later rounds, as well.

That's why we get sent off to Montana or UNH has to come into the Dome. We don't have any non-conference opponents nearby, so we or our opponents have to get on the plane. The rest of the playoff field usually has fairly short trips.

Right, but that's nothing different than last year. Travel and regionalization is supposedly always important, but yet we never get the OVC team at home, and rarely the Southland.

2001- at EIU (OVC, rare occasion), Maine at home, at Montana
2003- Montana State, sent to Delaware
2005- EWU at home, sent to New Hampshire, sent to Texas State
2007- New Hampshire at home, Delaware at home
2008- Maine at home, New Hampshire at home(went to SIU first round), Richmond at home.

They do a terrible job regionalizing. In 13 playoff games we've seen the OVC team once, and 1 Southland school.

Newsy, I have noticed your post count is down the last couple of months? Where have you been?

The regionalization only applies to the first round. After that, it's whoever wins.

I know. I just listed our playoff opponents.

I didn't even know that site existed. How many freaking sites does Iowa have?

Just imagine... if it weren't for the hawkeyelounge (where the heck did that come from), Newsie would have another 20,000 posts over here. I'm sure posters like Jeg would very much appreciate that.... x2

It don't bother me where Newsy spends his time, and it shouldn't be anyone else's business either. Who really cares. However, I do have one question - Newsie, do you need a job; or do you need a life? Either way, I will try to help, just ask.....

You've just placed yourself on the top of my list, FOTY.


All those posts are easy to answer for, however: I worked in radio, idiots.

I still get 10x's more done than the rest of you, and find time to post here and there. Y'all are getting pwned.

No, but I've been posting here less and less, so I'm sure I'll soon have time to make one, and when I do, you're on it, pal.


Also, that's a lot of commas in one sentence.
