I know many of you are angry with the way we played against
Richmond however if we have any hope of making it to the
playoffs then we need a big crowd on Saturday to urge SBU on.

im a believer in that some wins can cover up a bad loss.
upsetting nova helped smooth over the new hampshire debacle at
home.
win the next two and we are right back in the mix- especially if
elon slips up, maybe we beat ualBAny.

If we win out we're in. Period. No real margin for error though.
We can definitely win these last three games though with two of
them being at home. Lets get it done gentlemen!

The attendance is shameful. That’s all I have to say. Absolutely
embarrassing. I’m so ashamed of this student base.

I know it's not new, but I don't really like the blue alternates
and this overall blue push throughout the athletic department.
I'd rather have a silver/gray return as the accent color with an
anthracite alternate uniform as opposed to these blue ones.

Attendance after mid October has always been pitiful. Save for a
couple playoff games and a game or two against Liberty back in
the Big South days attendance late in the season is always bad.
We're in playoff contention, so it's not even like we're a bad
team. The student attendance is putrid though and I'm really not
sure how in the world they can improve it at this point. What
were we doing right 7-8 years ago compared to now? The weather
doesn't help though.

This is why FBS football would not be successful here. The
football fan base and appetite for college football simply isn’t
present at SBU, and won’t ever be.

Both of those would improve if we were FBS as they would for
every other school that moved from FCS to FBS. The only
consideration I have is that if we have such a hard time getting
fans out *right now*, then should we be considering FBS at all?
That's a fair question when our attendance is as underwhelming
as it is. We don't need to have 10k every game before moving,
but we should be much better than we are. A healthy program like
ours playing a defacto playoff game like we're in today should
have at least 7k in the stands.

Attendance might improve but not enough to avoid the program
being a huge financial drain. Think UMass.

UMass is a special case in stupid. They refused to join the MAC
for all sports and are now marooned as an independent because of
it. If they joined the MAC they'd be in much better shape
overall. As for being a financial drain, that's not the point of
college athletics. Only a couple dozen programs are a net money
maker for the university. Turning a profit isn't the point of
having athletic programs. That isn't to say sports should burn
money with reckless abandon, but making money isn't really the
point.

I’m sure the cold temps kept some fans away today but I agree. I
attended the game vs. Delaware last year and there was virtually
no representation from the student body. (Not counting the
marching band)
