So 8 wins likely gets in. Del and Nova is atleast 1 loss so it’ll be tough Have you looked at the Nova and UD rosters? What’s returning for next season? How many will jump into the portal? How many additions from the portal? Thanks for your pompous opinions and insight into all things TU. BTW, rosters will change from semester to semester… that’s the new NCAA. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those two have been top of the league for a bit. Both blew us out this year. Both will likely be good next year. We will more than likely be better next year. They are two tough teams. Winning both isn’t out of the question but a split is way more likely. We haven’t won in Newark in a decade. Thus leaving a 1 game cushion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blounge 429 Report post Posted November 19 https://herosports.com/fcs-football-2023-attendance-leaders-bzbz/ CC: Steve Eigenbrot; Pete Shinnick, Dominick Kogok we can’t be #99 out of 128 in attendance below Morgan State AND Stony Brook who sucks at every sport. Monmouth is the only CAA school worse than us. Unless bucknell is now a CAA school too I can’t remember Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have 15000 fewer undergrads What is really sobering about this list is that only 11 of the teams behind us fill less of a % of their seating capacity. Using the analysis of % attendance compared to capacity, we’re actually worse than 99th out of 128. We’re practically in the bottom 10. If I’m Eigenbrot, this has to be very worrisome. Granted, the 1st two home games this season were adversely impacted by weather, but there’s more to it than that. In no way am I advocating for disbanding the program, or moving down to D2, but there needs to be some serious improvement, and soon. Am I wrong, or wasn’t it that long ago that we at least averaged 6-7K a game, or thereabouts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to name a few lol Here is my personal list. Biased for places I have been. I enjoy checking out stadiums on road trips so been to a decent number Newark: Absolutely not, I almost spit out my coffee reading this. the stadium is in the middle of flat parking lots and fields. nowhere near the core campus or downtown. literally on the wrong side of the tracks. Been to a game Missoula & Bozeman: 1000% both fantastic towns with amazing views of the rockies from the stadiums with huge local support because the Cats/Griz is the only sports in the state. I lived in Bozeman for a winter, driven by both many times. Yes, it's cold but the scenery is worth it Fargo: No; it's just cold and flat. Same for all the Dakota schools. Driven by Williamsburg: Yes; but also pretty stuffy people. Same feedback for most of Ivy's. Generally cool, old stadiums but the alumni are the worst. Been to a game San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly): Yes, in the heart of SoCal wine country. Rolling hills, palm trees, beaches, sun, warm weather. Driven by Georgetown: Small but built right into the heart of campus. Went to a lax game Ogden (Weber State): Right in the mountains, very close to campus. Cool ski town. Driven by Driven by: UC Davis, Sac State, Western Carolina, Maine, UNH, Youngstown, Howard...we beat all of them BONUS Personal FBS ranking: Awesome: App State, Nebraska, UCLA, Penn State Fine: Notre Dame, UVA, VT, GT, USC, Minnesota Booooo: JMU, Maryland, GA State (lol, its a baseball stadium) Edited November 21 by TheGoldCrotchPiece 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Location of stadium? Campus? town? I was under the assumption it was the overall town/experience. If so I stand by my statement. Our stadium is in the middle of parking lots also and a hospital campus… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
