2011, 2012, and 2013 were all above or around 20k per the article Keener just posted. I'm not going to defend them too much, but we all know weeknight games are certainly a detriment to attendance. Their sole OOC home game last season was vs Presbyterian. Not a great draw right there.

Marshall averaged 27k last year I believe in little old Huntington, WV. NIU probably averages 20k over the past 5 years. I think 20k for a 9-10 avg winner is a reasonable expectation and acceptable.

Thanks. I would not have qualified.

A&M has an enrollment of 60k. I think they are doing just fine despite that cadet corp they are known for "turning so many students off." If anything, a lot of our students could work on their leadership and discipline considering the abysmal graduation rate.

What are the current thresholds?

How dare the university give scholarships away to inner city children. Don't they know we are in a financial crisis1!!!1! /lynch mobbed

I like to think a head of a military-like group that instills discipline and leadership in you would have much more of an impact on someone's life and resume than a sociology professor ever would.

The most recent "withdrawal" could be because of knowledge that they aren't getting the job. I believe similar to Tressel during the President search.

Does GVH bolt if he doesn't get the job?

Not a good look. SMH

Per the roster, Tyrell Goodman is also #7. Something has to give.

Ugh bad news all around. Sad to hear about Harris. I wouldn't be shocked about MTB. Him being out for the season for his wrist injury sounded fishy to me right off the bat.

Kincade transferring is old new, though I haven't heard where he landed. Wonder where Bickley went? Wouldn't think it would be FBS. My guess is FCS or D2.

He better really have a ton of potential there, because he sure had it on defense and was already a pretty solid player. I'm actually a little disappointed to hear this because I enjoyed watching him so much, but I'm sure coach knows best.

I can only speak on what I know. I posted in the Oklahoma thread that I saw them out soliciting donations for an Akron AAU league at a local mall a few weeks ago. I'm sure they also do other stuff that I am not aware of.

I'm assuming that EA meant they were top 10 statistically in production, not that they were really that good as a collective group.

I LOL'd

So it looks like we should hopefully expect help in the WR Corps from Harris, Young, and Means this season when looking at players that weren't here last season. Am I missing anybody?

Thanks for the list. Its a shame somebody like the ABJ beat writer can't fill us in on things like Bickley not being on the team anymore.

Chis looked alright from what I saw tonight in 4-5 carries. Probably not good enough to help his chances, but did hold his own. Hit the holes hard and seemed to get 3-4 a carry. edit: I may have missed a few carries. Looks like he has 7 carries for 14 yards. Better than Stingly, but not as good as Archer. All 3 are MAC backs. Go figure.

Well that settles it then. Thanks for pointing it out. Its worth noting that Bickley is NOT on the roster. http://gozips.com/sports/fball/2015-16/roster

I have to say there is some serious irony in the state having issues with spending when it is essentially "signed off" by people they have appointed.

From what I've read (there could be more to it, but I haven't seen it), it seems he is a suspect because they got into a fight two years prior to the apparent accident. I guess we are all lucky that nobody we got into a fight with in HS ended up dead in a separate incident. I agree with the second part, that a thorough investigation is abosolutely necessary. However, the death occurred two and a half years ago. I don't know what wouldn't be found now that hasn't been found already. The independent coroner said that all signs point to an accidental death. The Johnsons' hired coroner found something different. Go figure right? But he did say this, whatever it's supposed to mean: There is nothing that points to Johnson being forced down a standing wrestling mat head first. The wrongful death suit includes not only Brian, not only him, his brother and dad, but 36 other defendants including the family. I stand by my first statement. This wreaks of conspiracy theory. From the USA today article:

Although Mike Miller gave him a good run for his money with the Cavs last season, I fixed it for you. Im not much of a baseball fan, but do follow/root for the Indians because they are a Cleveland team. This signing couldn't have been more of a dud. I read where Bourn (overall he underperformed, but had a good first year and showed improvement before he got trade) and Swisher (aside from sucking in general, the guy spent more time on DL/AA than with the Indians AND was the highest paid athlete in Cleveland before Haden/Kyrie extensions) accounted for 1/3 of the Indians payroll. I think the organization is pretty close, hopefully they can bring in some quality guys that you can count on in next season to take that next step.

Did some reading on this Bell thing thanks to wadzip's post. This thing wreaks of conspiracy theory. The dad hired/instructed the son's to murder Johnson? There is surveillance footage of Johnson entering the room where the wrestling mats are but not Bell? If Bell is indeed innocent, it's a shame he and his family had to go through these false accusations. Talk about life altering.
