Its laughable how you judge the entire Bison fan base entirely on two poster basically......JBB and Lakes. Speaking of panties in a wad JBB and Lakes have all of FCS's panties in a bunch it seems. Every fan base has its crazies on these sights......at least the fan bases of teams that matter and that actually have a fanbase that gives a crap. There are way too many FCS teams whose fan support are an absolute joke(you know who you are) and I think most of you would agree with that. Just as Silenoz stated it would be nice to have another fan base in the big sky who has some passion.
Montana and MSU have one thing going for them, they are the only shows in town, So its easy to have large fanbases, every other school in the Sky has to deal with 2 or more larger programs, also just because they dont come on this message board, it doesnt mean that other teams fans arent passionate. My dad doesnt come on this board, but he has been a passionate fan of Weber State long before I was born.

You do realize that less than 5% ( I am just guessing..probably much lower) of fans post on message boards...right?

That wouldn't be because he was one of 5 or 6 fans that actually showed up to the games?

The schools do have some passionate fans, but they're still waaaay down the list of tickets sold. Weber was 63rd in attendance last year and most of the Big Sky schools were around there or lower. NDSU was 11th. Let's put this in FBS terms; would you be excited if a program like Nebraska joined your conference when 7 of the current teams were drawing Northwestern-like crowds?

edit: Yes, NDSU =/= Nebraska, only shows in town, blah blah blah. The point is games are more interesting when your opponent has a passionate fanbase behind it

How? Just because Weber has some select die-hards, they're equal to NDSU in fanbase? I'd bet NDSU sent multiple times more fans to MSU and EWU then Weber did to Montana several years ago

Usually, you have to take whatever attendance figure that lakes gives, and then cut it in half to get the actual number.

You are wrong...............it was 40,000. You forget that it is standard procedure to add 5,000 to the guess-timate after each year that has passed since the game took place.

And when lakesbison is in attendance, you also have to account for the added security required for any dignitaries that may be present..............

You are both wrong. I heard it was at the very least 55,000 Bison showed.

It really doesn't matter why your fan support sucks, the bottom line is that it does and I am not trying to talk trash here. I feel for the programs that have to deal with larger programs near by and what not, but even with those challenges a lot of teams attendance stats are still absolutely pathetic...Example and not to pick on EWU, but NDSU gets more attendance for a regular season game coming off an 3-8 season than EWU gets for a semifinal game....I mean come on!
