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".
