i thought this might be interesting for some. For all those who doubt the Sun Belt is getting better and garnering more attention this might help sway you.

It would appear the Sun Belts only bowl game did okay afterall....

I thought this was interesting...

04-05 New Orleans Bowl -- Southern Miss-North Texas -- Rating: 1.4 -- Attendance: 27,253

05-06 New Orleans Bowl -- Southern Miss-Arkansas State --Rating 1.71 -- Attendance: 18,338

06-07 New Orleans Bowl -- Rice-Troy -- Rating: 1.32 -- Attendance: 24,791

07-08 New Orleans Bowl -- Fla. Atlantic-Memphis -- Rating: 1.63 -- Attendance: 25,146

Not as low a rating as Rice-Troy and the largest attendance numbers of the last 4 NO Bowls!!

The attendance can't jsut be about S. Miss. They also played the following year and the attendance dropped by almost 9,000!!

No one can say that UNT doesn't "travel" well.

They didn't have quite the destination to travel too. Lafayette hosted that year because of Katrina.

I thought it was interesting that the lowest watched game was TCU-Houston, followed closely by Okie State-Indiana. Wasn't the Texas bowl on the NFL network? That is probably a contributor, but that is still very low.

True... but me and my green glasses would like to think that the Mean Green Nation would have still showed up in droves had we won the belt --- Even if it WAS in Lafayette.

Interestin that TCU attendance was 62K with a low TV rating. Home field and no one else cared??? NO bowl was still the least attended. Seems people would rather watch on TV than go.

I think everyone who cared was at the game. Honestly, 62K for a minor bowl is pretty impressive.

Just goes to show how much interest there is in games between regional schools... :whistling1:

It wasn't on a major network, that was the problem. The attendance can absolutely be attributed to the fact the it was played in Houston... lots of UH and TCU fans... and just sports fans in general. And they were former SWC members. Lots of old "remember whens" at play in the crowd, no doubt!

But not for a national audience.

I think the ratings would have been par for the course if it was aired on EPSN 2 (or even "the ocho").

NFL network blows.

I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the crowd for the bowl game. It was a great atmosphere.

The funny thing is that when TCU and Houston were in CUSA together, UH would bring maybe 1,000 fans to FW. The games at UH would draw maybe 23,000. Tulane Rice were even worse. SMU doesn't bring near as many fans you think they would.

      Why is the big white kid not playing?

      Hodge, and really McCasland before him, seem to have a lot of reluctance to playing underclassmen. the trio of Rubin, Abou and Scott all starting as sophomores is the last real example of kids getting a shot. I'd be surprised if Vice (or Cotton, or Mason) gets much run v. McNeese...they'll likely play v. TWU and get some run in that December home-stand, but unless one of them real distinguishes themselves I think the rotation is pretty well set.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      5 conference games today, the most interesting being FAU having to come right back after a 2OT loss to play 3-0 Liberty. Minnesota hosts Yale, who already gave 13 ranked Purdue a hell of a game...so their board might be in full meltdown later this evening.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      11/16...not a good night for the league...3 tough loses all by 3 points - UAB loses to High Point (UNT opponent on 12/6...they're now 4-0) 68-65. Butter Johnson showed up 21 off the bench...looks like he'd been struggling and responded with a reserve role...Lendeborg had 17-15, but UAB didn't have anyone else in double-figures. - FAU lost on a 3-pt buzzer beater to Charleston 119-116 in double OT. looks like not a lick of defense was played in this game...would've been fun to watch...both teams shot north of 50% from the floor and from three...FAU put six dudes in double figures lead by Louisville transfer Kaleb Green, but got done in by the leading scorer in the country Ante Brzovic who had 39 including the winner - Temple lost to Boston College 72-69. Temple were down as many as 14 in the first half, took a second half lead, but couldn't hang on. Jamal Mashburn Jr. looks to be a problem, but Temple doesn't seem to have much beyond him. - Memphis and USF won games they should have...Tulane lost to a 4-0 Furman.
