A local team makes a difference on game attendance. Montana's participation does not.
You, sir, are an idiot.
All I can say is this: WHOEVER gets the game better hope like HELL that two teams like Villanova AND Richmond don't get to the game.
There are basically three schools that draw their fans to the game in Chatty: ASU (undisputed king of NC game attendance), GSU and Montana.
2007 App St 49-21 Delaware 23,010
2006 App St 28-17 U Mass 22,808
1999 Ga So 59-24 YSU 20,052
2005 App St 21-16 UNI 19,219
2008 Richmond 24-7 Montana 17,823
1998 UMass 55-43 Ga So 17,501
2000 Ga So 27-25 Montana 17,156
2004 JMU 31-21 Montana 15,599
1997 YSU 10-9 McNeese 14,771
2003 Delaware 40-0 Colgate 14,281
2009 Villanova 23-21 Montana 14,258
2001 Montana 13-6 Furman 12,698
2002 WKU 34-14 McNeese 12,360
Don't let the numbers fool you: 2/3 of the fans at the 2001 and 2009 games were Montana fans. WE don't have any difficulty traveling---if you actually attended a game, you'd realize that. Now, if you intend to make it Montana's responsibility to FILL the entire **** stadium, let's just move the game to Missoula. Otherwise, it'd be nice if the OTHER team could bring some fans occasionally.
The teams on THIS list that should be embarrassed are WKU (2002), Villanova (2009), Delaware (2003), Furman (2001)
and JMU (2004).
The KING of pathetic is 2002: Lake Charles, LA to Chatty is 568 miles. Bowling Green, KY to Chatty: 195 miles.
