OVC Coaches Interviews

[Cocky]

Jack Crowe says at the end of the interview that GSU will be on JSU's schedule next year (maybe). Could this game be in the Georgia Dome?

I don't know why you would do that. It would be much better financially to do a home and home where each team gets to benefit from hosting a quality non-conference opponent...plus I'm sure the rental costs at the dome are two arms and a leg. Plus, even IF both teams brought the entirety of an average home crowd you're only talking about 28K in a cavernous dome.

I've heard it tossed around that EKU and WKU play at a neutral site (for example Louisville which is pretty close to halfway in between and has a 42,000 seat stadium...soon to be expanded)...part of me really likes that idea...

But it would involve Eastern and Western giving up the most exciting atmosphere they will ever put in their own stadium...but I do hope the GSU vs. JSU thing happens (Go get one for us cocks!)

I, for one, do not wanna give up the home and home we have with EKU. I feel that if more people want to see the best football in the entire state, they can show up in Richmond or Bowling Green to do so.

From what I'm hearing both of us would get close to a I-A payoff.

[EKU05]

Well, that would make sense then. I guess if you got enough sponsors or something. I just don't see how that could be done on game revenue alone.

What a novel concept! Two I-AA programs meet on a nuetrual site for a I-A-ish payout. I don't think that has ever been done before. Sounds like a "classic" moment.

[EKU05]

Yes, but I don't see this game drawing 50,000 plus. 30,000 tops.
