Charleston SC is beautiful in November and it seems Georgia Tech,LSU,Northwestern, St. Joe, Seton Hall, Tulsa is there along with WKU. When were our guys in a tounnment (nonncaa) that had class like that, anyone know? O,utsa is touring down under-Australia- for 10 days & going to the nit. How are they getting into these things? It seems we can only dream about these things & hope we win our tournment in arky in March.

7 months earlier than usual. Who had July/August in the pool?

WKU's tournament is one of the ESPN sponsored MTEs. WKU is arguably the bottom end of TV appeal, they got the invite because people recognize the name from their NCAA runs a few years back. We don't have that yet.

Foreign pre-season exhibitions are allowed once every four years. As far as "dreaming" about them... It's not a dream for anyone who wants to pay for it. MTSU is going to Canada, FAU and Denver went overseas last year out of the Sun Belt. Teams usually use those foreign tours as a way to develop younger teams; a lot of us think we may take one next summer when all our new recruits will be sophomores.

Gotta raise the expectations!

What if we had an all Metro-plex tournament...TCU, SMU, UTA and UNT...thoughts?

This is funny on so many different levels.

You know what this tournament and the Sun Belt Conference tournament have in common? 1 team that made the NCAA tournament.

You know who that team is playing in lovely Charleston in November? The 1 team playing in this tournament you didn't deem important enough to list...Virginia Commonwealth...THE story of last year's Dance.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      Are you pleading for the student body to show up or alumni? A 6:30 game on a Wednesday is a B for someone that doesn’t live in close proximity. I live in Allen and could never consider that drive. We go to Americans hockey games as they are in our back yard. They aren’t very good but more of a deterrent for us to go to more, is no one is there….on a Tuesday night. If there stands were filled, it would feel more legit and we’d probably go more, even if the quality of play wasn’t there. I suspect the student body wants that same ‘experience’. When I was there so many years ago, we wanted to be where the action was, even if it was dash riprocks. So I see a bit of chicken and egg here. People don’t go because people don’t go. If people would go, more people would go. football games are so much easier to plan for. 1 game a week, generally on a Saturday. You can make a day/event out of it. Weekly, more frequent basketball games, on weeknights, don’t offer the same advantages. All that said, I applaud your plea and hope that the tides change. Would love to hear that the Pit is packed routinely.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      According to Burton, and I'm sure it's the same with some men's teams, some of the intra-TX teams that you'd think would bring more fans will only come play us if we give them a check. I think investing more in our schedule would be worth it for the larger crowds (plus extra tickets/concessions sold). Stop scheduling Mississippi Valley State. Get a UTA, Texas State, SHSU, LA Tech, UTEP, or SFA in here. Renewing rivalries with WKU and MTSU would also be fun. Agreed, I feel like there was more in the concourse a few seasons ago? But now it is mostly bare and dead. I would like to see somewhere on the concourse a spirit shop you walk through, like the Hangar at the AAC in Dallas. Perhaps it could be the on-campus NIL Store to provide an easy opportunity for our athletes to make more NIL earnings.
