It's the medication. A couple of years ago you could host a home game at a neutral site even if it was closer to your opponent's home stadium. UL-Monroe hosted Arkansas at War memorial in Little Rock (even though Arkansas handled all the ticket distribution and host activities), and Arkansas State hosted Missouri at a game in Missouri.

The rule has since been changed; you must now host two games at that site for it to count towards attendance.

ASUfan should be here in a few minutes to expound further.

Well, guess I was semi-close. Now it all makes sense.

Last year MTSU played UL at LP Stadium in Nashville..

Ya, neutral (ha). ASU hosted Mizzou in Kansas City's ArrowHead Stadium, about 100 miles west of UM's campus in Columbia or about 400 miles NW of Jonesboro. It's like an NT home game with LSU in New Orleans. ASU got to use the home locker room, put the Indian logo at midfield and all the 40,000 in attendance suddenly became ASU "home" fans, although most were wearing black and gold. And we wonder why the SBC has an image problem? Amazing.

The West Texas A&M Univ. and Eastern New Mexico Univ. game in Canyon Sat. night drew 23,346 . Not bad for a school with an enrollment of just over 7000 .

---FIU is really bad even though they are having a poor season... Texas State would have had much better attendence.

---Too bad that WT did not keep that kind of attendence up before they down-sized their football program.. they would be in D-I still if they had. Tech is really their only competition for the sports dollar in the West Texas area. The college would likely be larger as well.

I left with about 3 minutes remaining and made it home to see ULM score their last two touchdowns. I was impressed by how the game appeared on TV. In addition, the announcers appeared to be much better than those calling the ULL game.

The announcers were the same as last week. Sam Smith referred to Under Armour as as software company.
