    • Have you been to a SHSU tailgate? The crowd is fantastic. All the classic cars are awesome. I love it. IF they could get the tailgate crowd into the games, they would be sold out at every home game.

        Pops, the fact of the matter with the teams they have had for the five plus years and the attendance numbers which are spiked because of the Reliant stadium game with SFA leads me to believe they couldn't draw flies with Earthmovers full of manure. These numbers aren't going to change playing CUSA teams which will draw even less interest than their old SLC rivals. Its a commuter school and a ghost town every weekend. Only folks not departing Huntsville come Friday afternoon are those incarcerated at the state pen.

        All that being said, I wish them the best but this has the makings of a titanic failure.

          I agree with ASUPops that their tailgate is fantastic. I only live 30 miles from Huntsville now so I am able to go to the games. So much so that my step daughter is showing more interest in SHSU than TAMUCC.

          Real test for attendance is going to be when they are no longer the top dog in a true playoff format like FCS and are finishing 6-5, 5-6, etc. to schools like UTEP, Liberty, and Louisiana Tech hoping to play in the New Mexico bowl.

          I suspect there will be a couple of "Ohio State's" on the schedule to help with costs.

          The D2 to FCS jump is more understandable since you still have a traditional football playoff format in FCS but also gain the rest of the D1 perks and teams in their playoff format as well.

            My son was at SHSU. And as I said....their tailgate was PACKED and off the hook. But as you say, almost NO ONE went to the games.

            • For those of you in love with the WT on campus stadium, here's the high school stadium near me. No I've never been in it, but I'm paying for it. I'm not a fan of building new stadiums when they aren't needed - at any level. What's important is having a good team.

                Nice Stadium and you see it helped as Cy Fair win a State Championship in 2017. My Mother in Law graduated from Cypress-Fairbanks. They had a whopping 53 students in her senior class.

                      GWB, I had been following local (WT, UTPB, Angelo) recruiting until the beginning of the year. I know that there was a severe drop-off in offers/commits to WT from the 806 and 432 area codes this year. Not sure what the reasoning is, but they just didn't recruit or didn't find what they were looking for locally. I know lots of local kids were looking for WT to recruit them, but it never materialized. Guess they aren't interested in Amarillo, Lubbock, Midland, Odessa, or San Angelo area athletes. Several kids I know opted for other D2, D3 and in some cases FCS schools instead of waiting around for WT. I know it left a sour feeling with at least two (different) HS coaches.

                          Why not ask McBroom? He really loves football you know. NOT.

                            Hasn't it been a thing in the past (during Carthel years) that they didnt announce any recruits until signing day in fear of losing recruits at the last minute? Thats how I recalled it in the past and didnt know if that tradition was carried on.

                            • Off topic, but do any of the WT posters know what this is all about? (WTAMU Biology professor indicted for illegally importing many mammal specimens.)
