Title: Sounds like Bristol is trying to set TWO cfb attendance records Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 31, 2016, 12:36:22 EST Biggest crowd ever for UT/VPI, and a week later, the most empty seats ever. :tongue:

ETSU isn't trying to be UT. They know they are in a completely different situation.
That game for them isn't about the fans. It's about getting an opportunity to get their 2nd year program some much needed publicity, and the amount of publicity they will get by playing this game couldn't be bought. It is a win/win for them. But that said, my Western Carolina Catamounts will put a whooping on the Bucs. :naughty: Title: Re: Sounds like Bristol is trying to set TWO cfb attendance records Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 31, 2016, 01:10:38 EST Don't understand the ETSU hate I see some folks exhibiting when discussing this game.

I didn't even know they were playing this game at Bristol until I saw that article today. But even if they draw 30K to that game (and that's probably being very generous), that still leaves 120K empty seats. And that's gotta be a record, right? :naughty: Title: Re: Sounds like Bristol is trying to set TWO cfb attendance records Post by: HerbTarlekVol on January 31, 2016, 01:36:30 EST No hate here (although I do have a healthy hatred of their hoops program dating from my UTC days).

Didn't mean to infer that you were. Just seen a lot of it on different interwebz sites. Yeah, got to be a record, but like I say - that's totally irrelevant. And it was just announced either on Wednesday or Thursday that the game would be played at BMS. Go Catamounts! |
