Just browsing today, I found some interesting comments. I tried WCU's Board, but it issued a message it was temporarily down.
Furman Board Comment: "They are playing in a mostly empty gym. You would think with Samford's gaudy record they would have a good crowd but guess not."
My View - I guess the small Timmons Arena that FU plays in would make most arenas look empty. They are remodeling I know, but for now a relatively small crowd in there looks packed. Last night the crowd in Timmons was listed at 1,947 while ours was 1,321. Our game was 2 hours later than Furman's, church night (maybe Furman has forgotten what that is), you could watch it on TV and they are going to call out a 600 or so attendance difference? I think you would be better advised to concern yourselves with NEXT Wednesday furples.
ETSU Board: "(Attendance) Ugly for the SoCon on national TV. Isn't Samford a residential school - where were the students? Embarrassingly ugly for the SoCon. What does ETSU benefit from being a member of the SoCon? IMO, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. SoCon needs ETSU, ETSU doesn't need the SoCon."
My view - ETSU with an enrollment listed at 15,250 total students, makes these posts absolutely hilarious! A few short years ago they were begging to join the SoCon and now they think they are too good for it. Wonder if is their 3-8 football team that makes them superior? They had ONE game where attendance was 10,000 and two games where it was between 5-6k. Yeah, that for sure should make lots of big conferences come calling. I guess it could be their MBB domination of the little SoCon with their current 3-8 conference record. Or is it their dominance in the SoCon's Commissioner's and Germann Cup Awards recently... oh wait that belongs to Samford. Eureka, I've found it!!! They are the 5 times SoCon Mens Tennis Champs. Yep, definitely qualifies them for time to move up. The SEC will probably call real soon 'ya hear.
