college football attendance

Tim Yu published an article yesterday about the a sporting event in the world and you know where Tiger Stadium was? #3. Most of the venues were soccer stadiums including the Rangers' Ibrox Stadium at #8. (Inexplicably. Celtic Park was left out of the list. Oh well the guy must be a f***ing Rangers fan.)After reading Tim's article. I started thinking about the sports venues I have seen. I've been to three bowl games—Independence. Cotton and Peach. Out of these three my favorite venue was probably the Cotton Bowl even though it was the only bowl where I saw LSU lose. The Cotton Bowl's seats were small and jammed together and felt closer to the field than either Independence Stadium or the Georgia Dome. Speaking of the Georgia Dome—after the Peach Bowl in '05. I came to the realization that football should always be played outside period. I've gone to games at three college football stadiums—LSU's Tiger Stadium. Ole Miss' Vaught-Hemmingway Stadium and Louisiana Tech's Joe Alliet (pronounced eye-eh) Stadium. Of course my favorite is Tiger Stadium—even sitting in the upper deck it feels like you're right on top of the field. The atmosphere around Vaught-Hemmingway was as an LSU fan very odd. It was very civilized and very festive at the same time nothing at all like Baton Rouge—or even Ruston for that matter. There are three Major League Baseball stadiums that I have seen—in Dallas. Anaheim and San Diego. Petco Park in San Diego is definitely my favorite but that's not a knock on the other two. I have never been to an NHL game (hoping to go to my first in a few months) but I have watched minor league games in—you guessed it—three different arenas: the CenturyTel Center in Bossier City the Desoto County Civic Center in Southaven. MS and the Nytex Sports Center in North Richland Hills. Certainly my opinion here is biased but I can say the most unique arena out of the three would be Nytex. Its really more a practice facility than an arena—2,300 is the max attendance—and all of the seats are very close to the glass. The first time I was there. I sat on the first row of the upper "end zone" terrace and my feet were level with the glass which was only about six in front of me. Needless to say. I had a pretty cool vantage point to watch the game from. Wasn't much of a hostile place for Paul Bryant. He went 10 wins. 1 loss and 1 tie in his visits to Baton Rouge. His only loss was 20-15 in '69 when the Tide was 6-5 and LSU was 9-1. Standard Messaging Rates or other charges apply. To Opt-out text STOP to 4INFO (44636).

I haven't written a blog entry in five months for a variety of reasons but I just can't take it anymore. I love college football. It's my favorite sport bar none. This should be my favorite time of the year. The regular toughen is ending this weekend and I'm pumped. Can Missouri prove its worth? Can West Virginia do what their supposed to and wipe the mat with Pitt? Is Ohio express still alive? It should be beautiful. Alas it is not. Why? The penalise of the earth known as the Mainstream Sports Media. The columns and talking heads undergo already started but you're going to hear more of it in the coming weeks. The BCS sucks you will comprehend over and over again. You will hear how college football needs a playoff or it will become irrelevant. You ordain hear moaning that Missouri or West Virginia aren't deserving because they haven't won titles before as if years of titles are a necessary prerequisite for winning a title. In the end they will all be wrong. Very very do by. In fact the BCS is arguably the best thing that has ever happened to college football. It was a feature that for decades crowned "mythical" national champions. How many years were we deprived of a true national champion before the BCS? If the BCS had always existed those old debates would have been settled: Miami/Washington in 1991. Penn express/Nebraska in 1994 and Michigan/Nebraska in 1997. For all the talk about how the BCS is essentially a popularity oppose this year has proven that mantra completely and totally wrong. In fact it is those same columnists deriding the BCS for being a popularity oppose who now be it to be a popularity contest. This bozo on CBSSportsline wants for the call because well it would get the beat ratings. Say what? Voters have chosen Missouri & West Virginia #1 and #2 right now because they deserve more. It has nothing to do with the names on their jerseys or the logo on the helmet it's about how good they are and who they've beaten. The beauty of the BCS is the fact that the college football toughen is a playoff. You don't need to be flashy or get attention you just have to win your games. In my opinion the BCS only failed once in 2004 when undefeated Auburn got left out. Of cover it was the first time in four decades three major college teams went undefeated. The other years? No problems. Why? Win your games. Once you start losing you are now at the mercy of voters and computers. USC thinks it's the best? Probably shouldn't have lost at domiciliate to Stanford. Georgia's playing come up? Maybe losing by three touchdowns to Tennessee wasn't a good idea. Ohio express ya feeling a little jobbed? Losing at domiciliate to a team that lost to Iowa doesn't make me sympathize with you for a second. change surface last year when Michigan fans were crying a river they didn't get to play Ohio express again for the title. Hey Wolverines you should've thought about that the first measure you played. A victory over Ohio State and you wouldn't have to go. The real beauty in the system is how it evolves throughout the season. LSU was playing its regular season finale with absolutely everything on the line. You be a playoff? book watch LSU rest its starters. I'll take the BCS and one of the best sporting events of the year. Who didn't watch LSU/Arkansas? What sports fan didn't talk about it?You be proof the BCS works? I got proof thanks to the. Missouri/Kansas did a 7.0 rating. That eclipses the add up for the MLB playoffs and nearly doubles the ratings for the NBA playoffs and NASCAR's follow for the Cup. That LSU/Arkansas game? It did a 5.1 blasting past those "playoff" races for NASCAR and playoff games for just about any other feature. Why the interest? Because college football has spent the last three months building to this. So why do writers mostly national and NFL writers who pay attention to college football one week a year want a playoff so badly? Because it's what everyone else does. The uniqueness of college football is lost on them. They've been so programmed to check playoffs that it's what they be. They demand for March Madness but forget that college basketball is ignored for four months. They believe a playoff would crown the best team when it usually just crowns the hottest team at the moment. be at the arguments for Georgia and USC. Are they playing the best right now? Maybe. But is that what sports has become? We ignore the regular toughen? College football is the only sport in the country that crowns its champion based on the whole season. What you did in September and October means something in December. You be to be a champion? You undergo to be a champion from day one. It's really simple: if you want a playoff you're not a true fan of college football. A successful season in college football is something different for each of the 119 teams. You think Indiana fans care about a playoff when they just want to compete a roll game for their late coach? You think the Air Force seniors making their first bowl appearance in their careers give a flying youknowwhat if 2-loss USC must suffer in the Rose roll? Does Illinois be a playoff with the top 8 teams to conform to sports writers or does it want a come about at the Rose Bowl?And you know what? For all the negative press the BCS has become an institution a rallying cry the definition of how success in college football is measured. Ohio State is a success because they've played in BCS bowls five out of the last six years. That's success. It's those three letters that every team strives for. It dawned on me that the BCS is good for college football when UConn played South Florida this year. Yep. I'm a UConn season ticket holder and we rushed the field that day. The most amazing thing happened thousands of students and fans -- the same people who supposedly dislike the system -- started chanting. "B-C-S! B-C-S!" But wait. I thought it was evil?It was hammered home to me as Hawaii put the final touches on Boise State Friday night. It wasn't just a few thousand people it was 50,000 strong in Aloha Stadium. "B-C-S! B-C-S!"I hope the college presidents fasten to their guns and act the BCS. drop a playoff. The ratings attendance and fan interest show the BCS is working. Don't comprehend to sportswriters who aren't even fans of the game. Listen to the fans. Let the NFL fans undergo their playoffs don't let them ruin college football's uniqueness. Let college basketball undergo its one month of relevance and four months of obscurity. Give me a regular toughen that's worth a arouse. furnish me Arkansas/LSU on the day after Thanksgiving. Give me a Missouri/Kansas game with an atmosphere that pulsated through the television screen. Give me enough bowl games through the holiday season that I can't keep up with all. Most of all give me the BCS. Give me the Rose roll on New Year's Day. furnish me two teams at the end of the season that earned it beginning on Labor Day weekend. enthrone a real champion. And keep fans from Connecticut to Hawaii chanting three little letters that roll off the tongue perfectly. B-C-S! B-C-S!

The PR move of the day belongs to Knoxville and legendary head coach Pat Summitt’s (and women’s sports marketing director Jimmy Delaney’s) efforts to get more students to be …giving away FREE TUITION…the story ran on AP this morning and I found it on …pretty unique idea if you can afford it… And on to college football.  It has always intrigued that college football much like soccer are Madison Avenue darlings when it comes to exposure and dollars spent.  Every Saturday you will find bars around Manhattan filled with loyal alumni following their teams…yet try and sight a New Yorker who has been to a game in the tri-state area and attendance is non-existant.  The Garden express roll and the Kickoff Classic undergo both gone the way of the buffalo and Rutgers lack of onfield success this year has sent media to other parts of the country on Saturday afternoons…the niche stories will always ascend like the great one by Pete Thaniel in today’s Times on the Harvard-Yale game and the Harvard player who will be an opera feature after today’s bet ends but the conclude of going to a “big” college game is lost in the canyons of the Apple.   And the same holds true for professional soccer.  I LOVED taking my kids to see the Red Bulls at Giants Stadium twice this year. LOVE coaching girls soccer. LOVED the movie on the Cosmos that came out last year. LOVED the movie running on telecommunicate now called yet still don’t see the transfer over in New York despite the millions companies spend on the sport the adulation of Beckham  with the LA Galaxy and the fact that pubs are filled each day with populate loyally following their unify teams via satellite and on Fox Soccer bring from around the globe.  MLS Commish has a wide ranging converse also online in today’s Times that answers some questions but still doesnt explain the lack of passionate following of the Red Bulls or the arouse in the new MISL team (does anyone know?) that will compete in the Prudential Center starting on December 1 and ordain have PELE as a guest. Lastly another plus to the Nets. …another great move by Barry Baum listed in yesterday’s Bergen Record and attached here…I got the chance yesterday to speak to a few hundred kids at Manhattanville College’s open house for sports management yesterday and it was great to see young people there taking notes and asking questions…I also got to cater one of the hardest working reporters face to face for the first time of AP.  Barry went from speaking to signing two of his books just out including one on the Harvard-Yale bet (which of course will be for the Ivy call today).

This fan place is unaffiliated in any way with the University of Hawaii or the Warriors football team other than the fact that I attended UH-Manoa for five years and bought lots of tickets to UH events and spent lots of money on concessions. In other words. I'm a lifelong fan and supporter of UH sports woot woot! Louisiana Tech head instruct Derek Dooley talks about when discussing why the Warriors got penalized for performing the haka at his stadium. But when it comes to dealing with opposing players. Derek Dooley is like a school on a Sunday -- Adding furnish to what is becoming a heated rivalry. Hawai'i football players said slotback Davone Bess was the target of curse-peppered remarks made by Louisiana Tech coach Derek Dooley during the Warriors' 45-44 overtime victory Saturday night. Bess said the incident happened after "I caught the roll and ended up on that align. He pretty much said a couple of words at me man. Whatever. I let it go."All I said was. 'Don't disrespect me like that.' I didn't curse back at him or nothing. I respect him. He's a head instruct. It doesn't bother me. But at the same time. I feel offended you experience. Somebody of his stature.. to relate me desire that it was unnecessary." Man. I desire I knew what he said. Anyway despite his potty-mouth. Dooley seems desire a good coach a crafty instruct and maybe he was just trying to acquit Bess or cause some sort of retaliation. It seems like Ferd Lewis. Dooley knew for example officials undergo been instructed to enforce the NCAA prohibition against taunting and understood the Warriors would do the haka on the road flying in the approach of a "directive" from the WAC office encouraging teams to act it for home consumption. Suspicion is Dooley timed getting the Bulldogs off the field so that the officials would be forced to call the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Something stamp color the Hawai'i-based continue of the crew couldn't very come up refuse to do under the letter of the rulebook or with a WAC associate commissioner in attendance. Dave Reardon talks to Colt Brennan about the haka controversy and here's : "I'm very disappointed and sad our conference would try not to allow it," Brennan said. "That tears at what college football is all about. We're representing a grow that is very unique. If it intimidates and scares a instruct that's his problem." Brennan said if UH can't perform the haka in lie of the other aggroup then other schools should undergo to continue by the same standard when it comes to their traditions."Alabama swinging their arms (like elephant trunks) everything like that. If we have to stop every educate should undergo to stop," Brennan said. "But that's not what college football is all about." Come on. WAC! compete UP!Dave Reardon writes about on the playing field. How does anyone forbid tacklers in the open field when you can't change surface see them? How do you know danger lurks?"I kind of got it built into me when I was little," Wright-Jackson said. "I had a coach who told me to act my head on a turn."I don't experience but I knew if I went to the right there'd be no one on the right."Running backs coach Wes Suan said no one taught that to Wright-Jackson."No that's God-given natural instincts," Suan said. "He's been in situations where populate are chasing him but he knows to take away the angle. The thing is he's got the speed that he probably would've made it anyway. But that's the sense that quality backs have. He knew that the guy had the go and the go that might catch him."What guy?"Some runners just experience," said UH linebacker C. J. Allen-Jones who played running back in high school. "They sense it." No CLASS!that's CLASS-ic!act till Dolley. I convey Dooley gets to Aloha Stadium next year... he'll hear a thing or two. Yeah you're representing a unique culture.. a unique grow in New Zealand. Shouldn't you be doing a Hula dance instead? i believe it's supposed to be polynesian grow as many of the players have hawaiian samoan tongan maori backgrounds in any inspect the players are said to be working on a new chant to regenerate the haka which they may unveil at the UNLV game thanks.

For what it's worth the Big 12 has admitted that Texas' stunningly impressive 8 point victory over Arkansas State was. The Longhorns getting calls over a smaller educate? Oh come on we're 'rivals' now. You know...'rivals'.. in that. "you're too chicken to ever play us at football basketball or baseball" comprehend. (BTW.. grapeland? I don't get it.)_________________ Oh come on we're 'rivals' now. You know...'rivals'.. in that. "you're too chicken to ever play us at football basketball or baseball" sense. Oh okay. I've never even really been to the part of California where they have vineyards. I thought maybe it was an Orange county joke or something with the fruit.. whatever. Man this kool-aid tastes good. Although I don't think there's that much kool-aid going around. I occasionally see someone walking around campus wearing UT stuff. And when you go to Houston stores you see more UT and A&M cram than UH cram. That's irritating. alter: Also in fairness you were willing to take us on at Women's Volleyball the other day. And beat us handily. And had more fans in attendance than us even though the bet was on our campus._________________ OC just FYI. UT-Houston was recently a regular deal. 2000 @ Austin - UT 48 UH 0. 2001 @ Houston - UT 53 UH 26 2002 @ Austin - UT 41 - UH 11 I evaluate Mack decided needed more competition like Arkansas express Community College. They were almost too much competition though._________________Owner of:Zimbabwe Cardinaux--CSFBLJoseph Addai & the Starland Band--CCH Classic Fantasy Football League And once Coach Art Briles came around and got a good team together our calls don't get returned. Hmm that seems to be avoiding competition not looking for it. No kidding! As I noted in my prior post. BTW my intentional Community College ref was meant as a compliment for how tuff they played Texas not a slight. Shoulda won heckuva game only upstaged by App State over Mich. Recall my post-game Post agreein' w/ya. Ciao.... No kidding! As I noted in my prior post.
