Valpo?
Savannah St?
UNC?
Those are NOT games that are gonna get anybody jazzed up.
Perhaps, but St. Francis, So. Utah, Miss. Val. St., Sac St, ISU in 2016 wasn't exactly a great schedule either. St. Francis, So. Utah and Cats drew more than the EWU game in 2017.
There was some weak/cold weather for a couple of the last games in 2017 too, which probably had some impact. I thought EWU, NAU and even UND were fairly big/good games in 2017, even tho UND was so injured and fading by the time they got here.
St. Francis drew over 26,000 in 2016. That didn't seem like an exciting game coming into the game, I didn't think.
