Does anyone know what the La Tech / Illinois attendance was at today's HOD Bowl game ? Just wanted to compare it to the 2014 UNT / UNLV game. Looked like both teams had pretty fair attendance. Glad CUSA won, wish it had been UNT.

I'm surprised at the DCI Bowl attendance shown in the above pics. I figured Miami and South Carolina fans would travel better.

They probably look down their nose at an Independence Bowl birth.

Plus, I wonder how many true non-tshirt fans Miami has.

Miami doesn't have a fan base. Miami is worse than Dallas when it comes to supporting only when fashionable.

I was at the Independence Bowl. There were many more fans there than what those pictures showed (as they seem to had been taken pre-game, and the middle of halftime), plus most fans were on the west side of the stadium. Still not packed by any means whatsoever, but not as bad of a turnout as I had expected. Not a bad game either!

Recent article in San Diego paper discussed the fact that the number of fans for these "lesser" bowls was really not that important. What is important is TV viewership levels and the viewership levels have been good according to what ESPN wants in order to broadcast the games. Interesting I thought...the article even touted the possibility of televising games where no fans attended at all...where no tickets were sold and where the game was played only for a television/broadcast audience.

I have to wonder what the cities who host these games think when it comes to tourist dollars for hotels, restaurants, bars/pubs, local taxi/train/bus service, city exposure, etc., etc.? Are we really headed this way? Me, I doubt it, but who knows as TV runs it all these days as we have seen with the Mean Green kick-off times the last few years.

Edit: Really? Why?

      I'll be there. How is everyone feeling as we enter conference play? Overall I'm feeling good. We are 2nd in NET in the conference. The two best publicly available models, KenPom and Bart Torvik, have us as the 2nd best team in conference and finishing that way. Our defense has been really good; it's actually better than last season. The biggest improvement is in the defensive rebounding. We are pulling down 74.8% of defensive boards compared to 68% last year. Of course the team isn't without concerns. Although we start the same lineup every game, we haven't found a consistent closing one. There isn't a 'go to' scorer. The shot creation and/or shooting has been lacking in long stretches. So far our adjusted offensive efficiency is the lowest it's been since the 2019 season, but I don't think (hope) it will necessarily stay that way. I'd be disappointed if we don't finish at least top 4 in conference. The conference, as others have noted in many threads, just isn't as good as last season. Last season there were 4 other teams in the top 100 of KenPom and 7 in the top 150. This season there are 2 other teams in the top 100 and 5 in the top 150. Last year in conference we played 3 Q1 games and 5 Q2 games; this year we're projected to play 1 Q1 game and 3 Q2 games. A top 4 finish in conference means that we would need to win 3 games in Ft. Worth to go to the big dance. That's always the dream. The NIT as the consolation prize wouldn't be bad either. Could we host a NIT game again? Last year Indiana St., Princeton, and Bradley hosted opening round games. That would be a fun atmosphere.

      You have to consider many of these are the only entertainment option in town. Fargo, ND vs Denton. The entire state of ND follows the Bison.

      Is it just me or is Eric Morris destined for great things?

      It's just you bro. Same reason why you supported McCarney's #Hit6 campaign. The bar is in Hell.
