Honestly, attendance really isn't my concern re: the topic of this thread.

I just bristle at the notion that we should avoid playing any P5 OOC opponents, which is what some people seem to be saying.  We're in a conference where I think it's proving out that we'll face about 2 teams each year that are fighting in a higher weight class than us, so to speak.  That means that we'll have 6 conference games where we should have a reasonable chance, if not expectation, to win.  Meanwhile if Coyle sticks to this years OOC schedule approach then 3 of those 4 should also be very winnable.  That makes for a lot of chances to win games and, at the very least, make a crappy bowl.

If people would prefer 10 "really winnable" chances to 9 I'm advocating then that's their perspective, but I think there are big advantages to playing that 1 good OOC team.  Recruiting, for one.  Exposure, another.  Fun too.  Playing good teams is fun.  Of course winning is fun too, but like I said upthread we should be trying to strike the right balance.
