[NU Sports] attendance guess for EIU?

[Eric Kunkel]

I'm guessing 26,000, which is much better than 17,000 that was at the game vs. Nevada a few years ago, or 20,000 that was there in 2005 vs. Ohio.


.02:  Great opportunity for Adonis Smith to win the job today.  Trumpy out gives him a shot at 20 carries.  Let's see what he does.


4th down calls: Give the ball to Schmidt. He's the RB who'll get that 1 yard. I presume he's corrected the case of fumbleitis he had last season.


Easy breezy 38-14 win, maybe 42-14.         GO CATS!!                    Eric

Could not agree more about 11 am kicks. 

At BC last week even with a noon kick the BC kids didn't all get there until 1.

I have a feeling it will be a bit better than that. I recall seeing a couple of 
comments that season ticket sales were up. I also think the 2:30 start will 
help. It's been a long-held believe that 11am starts have had a negative impact 
on attendance, so this will be a bit of a test of that, as will the night games 
later this year. 

Sadly, I won't be in the stands for this one, but our seats will be filled!

Tom
