EKU looking great so far this season!

We need to take EKU. EKU and WKU has always been bitter rivals. They are like TXST and UTSA or App St. and GoSo. I personally think that WKU is scared of EKU moving to FBS. Good at basketball, and it would add a state we currently lost

We get our 12th member. Then we can cherry pick our next member to replace Idaho

they are actually several rungs below each of the schools you mentioned..

EKU has been to the big dance 8 times, made it to the second round in 2014. Won there conference championship 6 times. Won the regular season conference 6 times. I think it would give us a boost in basketball, then we add NMSU all conference we just added two very successful basketball programs to the Sunbelt.

Then add a Missouri State. This conference would be good in football, basketball, and baseball.

Perfect conference!

I'm starting to agree with the MSU & EKU ideal to get all three big sports up to par. I want MSU all sports and, no offense, get rid of Idaho purely based on geography.

Disappointing Week for Missouri State. Only 12K fans after spending 2 weeks as a ranked team in FCS and with a real advertising push. Still work to do in Springfield.

If EKU keeps it up we should get them while they have momentum.

Hoping we have good attendance this week hosting Eastern Illinois. I think it is fall break so not sure what will happen.

BOR is supposed approve the first $150K at the 20 Oct meeting to get the design of the new stadium side completed.

I got a feeling here in a couple years we are gonna have another conference shake up like we did a few years back and new conferences will be formed.

EKU seems to have a buzz this season around their program. I'm not feeling so bad about JMU being out of the running anymore. Once EKU gets their stadium updated they will be a steal.

eku hasnt played anyone worth a sh t.
Its easy to be undefeated with what theyve played so far.
They still have to play Jax st. Tenn. St. Semo, and Murray St.
I believe the shine may begin to wear off shortly.
average attendance for 2013 is 8600
finished last year 6-6.

We'll see slim. EKU starts with EIU this week, who has a bad record but has lost to two top 15 FCS schools a B1G school and a MAC school. Still have to play all the contenders, just like JSU does. Miami (OH) may not be great but they still are an FBS team. EKU plays the equivalent of the JSU/Michigan St game the last game of the season when they play Florida.

Still have a lot to do.

First of all miami oh would be beat by alot of fcs school. They arent as good as the ga st. We beat last year.
Secondly ive watched fla this year and they are not the equivalent of mich st.

But yeah we all have a long row to hoe. Just trying to point out so far its been an easy schedule and time is needed to see how it all pans out. The Ovc this year has alot of tough teams.
