I thought the student crowd today wasn't bad at all for a noon game. Frankly, I expected much worse.

Noon kick-offs do not mesh with the Athens/OU culture. As we've discussed before, the same applies to the Sunday basketball games. Just a bad time to have a game at a school known for what happens on Friday and Saturday night.


Big Time/High Exposure programs (what everybody here thinks we don't get enough of) play a Lot of noon start FBall games, and a Lot of Sunday BBall games. So, I guess facilities/arenas/stadiums upgrades/expansions aren't what we really need then to make the move to the "next level".

If we were playing Texas at noon students would come.  We weren't playing Texas though, we were playing Buffalo.

So "Attendance and a tangent" includes a "chicken and an egg" dilemma
