Re: Future home games
Western at KBS would probably sell more tickets than any other FCS opponent. Despite that the kitties can obviously get higher paying gigs and this may never change. Barring some unforeseeable turn of events the gridiron "rivalry" with Western is finished.mtd Security wrote: I honestly have no desire to play Western for a while. They do us no good.

49-18-1 can be the series record with the 'cants from now until the end of time as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Future home games
I don't know if Western is demanding a home and home in order to play. I know some public statements were made way back when we first announced the move, but I would think they know that no FBS program in the country is going to play at an FCS school in football. Even where there aren't conference prohibitions against it, you just aren't going to see it. I think the bigger issue is that Western is relying heavily on the money from FBS games during their rebuilding period. App isn't going to match what they are getting for their SEC games so I just don't think the $ works out for this game right now. I do think we'll see them in Boone again eventually, but not in the next few years.
I do think we should be playing some Western in basketball and football where the SoCon is technically a peer and not so far behind the Sun Belt.

They do. But this was an easier way of saying "we're not playing App anymore".Yosef84 wrote:but I would think they know that no FBS program in the country is going to play at an FCS school in football.
