With Arkansas State here from the SBC, and the CCU game as the opener, we have two of four home games that I don't think anyone will really be excited about. That is 33% of the time in the Joan with little to no interest; way to high a risk factor for income and program support.
Even as the opener, with folks wanting to support the program and anticipate seeing the 2023 team, CCU is a bad get. If we could add at least a mid level FCS team, or a lower tier FBS (from somewhere), we could at least create some excitement about our opener. The attendance of the opener is significant in financial endeavors and to create attraction of general fans to come back.
Should be fun to watch Huff try to float next fall with ECU on the road, Virginia Tech at home, and NC State on the road. At least things are trending towards tougher opponents. But heads up for trying to convince this message board. The show an uncanny fealty to all things related to Marshall athletics. Non-conformity here is scorned.
