I don’t know the answer to this, so I will ask to see if anyone knows. Since the students are on beak for the Furman game, can the athletic department sell general admission/SRO tickets for festival seating in the 3 student sections that will be mostly empty or is that not allowed? I could see a situation that all the normal game tickets are sold out for Furman and there still be demand for seats so why not sell $10 general admission/SRO tickets for the area that the students usually occupy. If the students do show up, they will either find seats or find somewhere to stand. I know that we are talking about WCU so I am sure someone has a complicated reason why this simple plan will not work. LOL

Great question - it would be nice if we could get as many people in the stadium as we can.
Several posts in here about comparing Furman and UTC. I took a look at Massey and even though the game is several weeks away, right now he has the Furman @ UTC game as basically a toss-up. 52% probablity that UTC wins with a score of 29-28 Mocs. FWIW, I had another post that showed he had a very similar view of the Furman @ WCU game. 52% probability that Furman wins with a score of 31-30.
Bottom-line is he is saying these are the 3 best teams in the SOCON, and that we are all very close to one another in his calculations.

We beat Chattanooga, the second best team in the SoCon behind Western Carolina. Furman is good and Mercer cannot be overlooked but we should win those games. Coach has this team focused and they are taking one game at a time. We will score enough points to win all of the rest of our games if we prepare and protect the football. If Desmond is hurt and cannot play that could be a factor but we have 2 and maybe 3 other backs behind him that would start at any other SoCon team. Desmond is the best RB in FCS and would star for many FBS schools. He is the best player on the field in every game except for Arkansas. Keep the faith. We will win all the rest. Well Flacat, I just watched FU play Samford. Based on what I saw, the Furman Game will tell us just how good our Offensive Line is this season. Their QB & the Running Back are very good runners. You can rest assured they will be coming after Cole. They will be the best FCS Team we’ll play this season. Right now I sure hope the Bells have a great game plan for the FU Game. |

I watched the game too. Samford had a chance to win the game.
Furman had nine sacks and put a lot of pressure on the QB. It appeared to me that FU was slow and little speed. I think they will struggle with our speed. Go Cats!

On the one Furman board I saw the fans are saying Furman should bus the students in and since Western is on fall break this could make a huge difference in the home field feel
