A friend of mine teaches at Morehead. Another is one of their drum majors. My mother in law went there.

I've been looking forward to this game for a while now, and I won't get to watch much of it because of my son's birthday party.

I hope the students are out in force and at full song after the kind of reactions I saw on Twitter after the Baylor win

No look a like thread? Is this Board not FBS ready? ( I have no idea how to do those picture thingies)

Time to make some cuts.

That QBS went 21-23, we need to put some pressure on him and introduce him to the turf at Williams Stadium. Hit him often.

Any attendance guesses? I mean, surely after that historic win this game has got to come close to the 22,551 record.

I could definitely see us easily topping 20k...especially with good marketing locally and regionally

We always draw well for the home opener. Add 2.5-3k for all the hype, we should easily hit 20k.

anything less than 20,000 will be a disappointment. I think a 6:00 start will help attendance. When we play at 7:00 game stretches too late into the night,

Let's put some things in perspective for this 1-0 Morehead State team.

First, they beat an NAIA.

Second, its a bad NAIA team. The last 3 years Kentucky Christian has gone 10-23.

I know coming off a HUGE win last week may prompt our players to feel like the game is already over. But here is to hoping HCTG will have our boys even more focused than last week. This SHOULD BE A BLOW-OUT.

On a fun note, Buckshot is on pace to throw for 4,917 yards with 33 TD's and 0 picks. :shock:

JMU played them the past two years and out scored them 136-14 in the two games. This should be at least a 35 point win.

I don't think attendance will reach 20k.

The FBS move means a lot stricter counts for attendance. It's never been done at LU like that before. I think LU has only legitimately been over 20k at Williams Stadium one time.

It'll still be a great crowd. But don't be surprised or disappointed if the actual number is lower than what you think.

The Lord will provide the numbers. Turning empty seats into attendees is a time honored tradition! :twisted:

Aren't we still FCS this season, JK37? I do recognize that you would have privileged info on this topic.
