That article showed Missouri state at 7,400 average attendance. Although I guess it was for the school year ending in ‘19 and not the 2019 football season. Glad you set it all straight, a lot was hanging in the balance over that discrepancy

The article you linked is from August 2019. Obviously, wouldn't have fall 2019 football stats.
I don't think there's a law against using accurate facts. Perhaps you should just thank Kem for providing the board with correct information, and say my bad.
You need to watch the "just okay is not okay" ads.

To be honest, I do appreciate Kem’s attention to detail and I know you are equally as concerned about accuracy. Was just having a little fun.

Why any AD would even consider interviewing him is beyond me. Why any assistant coaches would work for him is also beyond me. This guy is void of any soul, loyalty or ethics. Gives college athletics a bad name.

Knew many of the bits and pieces, but to see it all linked together is just ... Wow!Copper Griz said:
Not sure what Missouri State was thinking here. One Mo State student, interviewed by a local reporter, said their team's offense was "last in the country last year.” (That's not entirely true, BTW. There were eight teams with even lower Total Offense. :lol: )
The AD must figure he can get some offense going for the Bears. After all, Petrino is known as an offensive-minded coach, and his teams have won a lot of games with that approach. Of course, that is also one of the many complaints about Petrino: he recruits good players for the offense, and almost totally neglects the D.
So maybe he can pump up the offense and then -- per his MO -- move on in a couple years. After that, they can bring in someone to build a more balanced roster. Taking a Hell of a chance, IMO.
I have lived here in Springfield for 20 years and have gone to a few Missouri State games so feel I have some background to comment, that and I have Griz season tickets to compare to
The facilities are not horrible, they recently upgraded the visitors side/student section, would say better than about half the Big Sky stadiums
Not much in way of tailgating like Wash Griz
Attendance is usually sparse and probably a big difference between ticket sales and actual attendance, probably in neighborhood of 3-5K. The other issue is facilities, locker rooms, etc. They have a huge wealthy benefactor here that supports them and has paid for a number of fields for soccer, outdoor volleyball. Their baseball team has traditionally been very strong
The other issue is there is a strong interest in Arkansas and Missouri football, the Bears are kind of a second thought
Three years ago the QB got suspended for beating the crap out of a dog he was watching for a volleyball player and then letting it go so it got hit by a car. It made the national news
As for moving up that has never been discussed here in Springfield, actually last year there was talk of eliminating football and the president came out in support of keeping it going.
As for Petrino, word is it was a quick decision and attempting to draw up interest in the program, will have to see if it works
Anyone coming to Springfield for the game next Sept 12 is invited to Marias, as per other post this will be the Montana bar, first beer on me
