The Annual HCGM's WSU Future

[shoxlax]

Behold the carnage:

89-90: 7,880
90-91: 8,011
91-92: 6,755
92-93: 7,856
93-94: 5,982
94-95: 7,010
95-96: 5,528
96-97: 9,449
97-98: 7,691
98-99: 7,858


The above is remarkably good when you consider the product we were paying to watch.

Those with SASO memberships then should have 3x the points like a credit card promotion.

@JasonKingBR: My prediction on the future of Gregg Marshall after spending most of the day making calls: Texas offers, he goes. Otherwise he stays.


Jason, you should have called Gary Parrish... GGGeezz..

Here are the yearly attendance numbers for the basketball arena which has a capacity of 15,383:


1978 9,422
1979 11,235
1980 9,033
1981 7,756
1982 10,657
1983 11,075
1984 8,524
1985 7,979
1986 8,434
1987 10,907
1988 6,834
1989 11,101
1990 10,658
1991 12,448
1992 10,638
1993 9,161
1994 8,510
1995 8,567
1996 7,801
1997 8,378
1998 5,752
1999 7,258
2000 8,257
2001 10,444
2002 9,834
2003 11,778
2004 9,683
2005 10,958
2006 10,503
2007 10,285
2008 10,369
2009 9,960
2010 10,945
2011 10,983
2012 12,484
2013 11,159
2014 10,754

These numbers are grossly misleading. While they sell that many tickets, their actual attendance is far less. A lot of these ticket sales are season tickets bought by people looking for more points so they can secure better football tickets. They don't actually go to the basketball game.

Boeing would match your donation back then so, for me, I got my SASO membership for 1/2 price. I thought that pretty cool. Had great seats.

[SB Shock]

Will someone please post stats about our attendance in the dreaded 90s? were they as bad as bamas ? Also, during Marshall's first two years where our record sucked weren't we sold out the entire time?

[rjl]

And this is what I was hoping to see today. Parrish is well-connected and a good reporter. He's not going off half-cocked on this.

Also saw that Texas apparently cooled on Marshall because he's seen as being too outspoken and rubbing people the wrong way. That doesn't have the reporter integrity of anything coming from Parrish, but it doesn't surprise me. Always been something that I thought would hurt Marshall at many of the elite jobs I could see him leaving WSU for. Alabama, though, is one school that absolutely wouldn't care.

Kentucky's another, and one that I could see targeting Marshall fully. IMO, Marshall's at WSU until Kentucky comes open, if Kentucky wants him. If Kentucky doesn't come open, or doesn't make him their #1 priority, he retires at WSU.

Hopefully Shaka Smart blows off Texas to keep him up for the same jobs Marshall would be.

If you read up on Texas' AD, you can tell there are some potential clashes if Marshall were to coach there.

[mjbaker84]

the texas A.D. sounds like a bit of a DB, glad he can keep marshall away and let us hopefully continue paying for his services.

You know that once Gregg announces his decision to stay, Alabama is going to do everything within their power to get our football team put on NCAA probation.

[WuDrWu]

They're still butt hurt they could only beat us something like 35-0 in '79ish at Bama.

Plus, McJunkins scored on 1st and 3rd down from the 1 inch line and they refused to count it. It still burns them.

Not so far fetched. See Bryant Jr. & UAB football

Does anyone know if and where ADES is picking up cans tonight? I've got several hours of down time to help out.

I'm thinking about selling a kidney.

I hear he will be In Dee Annapolis looking for cans.
