Really? Keeler and his merry bunch of FBS rejects probably remember this better than you. Are you also going to complain to the NCAA again about the noise in the stadium?

I bet Sam has the highest viewership, but not because they've been successful. I mean, if success mattered, Bowers would be sold out for every game given your success over the past few years, am I right?

Sam has one of the ****tiest alumni bases I have ever seen. Sure, they draw a crowd at NRG for BOTPW, but those ****sticks are too lazy to drive an hour to watch games at Bowers. Pretty sad

so I'm happy for Sam, now your lazy as **** alumni can watch yall on TV, well unless A&M is on at the same time

and Revs ass stays sore due to Sammie's success. I cant imagine the bitterness to come after the 5th straight ass whippin this fall. How come those scores SFA fans don't show up for the biggest SLC game of the year on the biggest stage? SFA's turnout gets ****tier every year. Only the ignorant would buy NCAA attendance numbers reported from the schools.

the difference is the same amount of people who go to the BOTPW go to the other SFA home games; Sam can't say the same thing.

But you can keep denying that fact even though it's been a topic of discussion on KF. Maybe one day your AD will figure out how to bring the alumni back

SFA to play second game of the season against the TCU Horn Frogs in Forth Worth. TCU was just picked by their conference to win the Big 12 Championship for the 2015 season.

The game will be aired nationally on Fox Sports One TV.

Just don't want the team to get messed up with injures against a great TCU team.

I think that injury against BCS/FBS team thing is a bogus. Over the years, McNeese has had more injuries in the games following than we ever did in the "money" games. Last season, we had more season ending injuries in the two following games against Prairie View A&M and Ark. Tech than we had injuries period against Nebraska.

Over the years, I haven't seen more injuries against the FBS opponents than FCS ones.

TCU came away with more injuries against us than we had. We came out of that one pretty clean as I recall. Unfortunately we knocked their starting QB out in the first half and they had to replace him with one of the front runners for the Heisman this year. He was the clear difference in that game.

xnodx As SHSU and SFA try to set the bar higher, the question is will the other SLC schools follow? You can bank on Lamar because of their oil money endowment. Just hope the Ark and La schools can persuade donors and admin to pony up. Not asking to build a new stadium or anything like that, but upgrades to things like scoreboards resonates with fans and recruits.

Ok. So the video portion of the board is 3200 square feet. Most people add the other part of the board as part of the "board" while the video portion is actually smaller. That would put your whole video portion of the board at 80 X 40. That's HUGE! Well done!

Big TVs like that do funny things. ASU has one that has a random black spot or line on it. Hopefully technology has advanced to NOT have those issues.

I'm wondering which I would rather see my team or conference have. An ESPN3 deal that is potentially more exposure, especially for fans outside of the regional network area, or games on real tv channels, but have it be predominately regional (Comcast Sportsnet) and national about one game a season (NBCSN).

I think I'd rather have real TV games. I can record TV games. That's huge to me.
