If it is, that would be our 5th nationally televised game. What's the most ULM has ever had in a season? I feel like 4 is up there already.

Considering ULM's propensity to give up lots of yards on the ground I expect to see App run the ball 2+3 times more than we throw. Control the clock and keep that QB & RB off the field.

Nope. Selections are done 12 days out.

I think it being South Alabama and Texas State has a lot to do with that.

Maybe, but I also think not playing teams not named Iowa St, FSU, and Memphis helps as well.

He won a conference game, on the road against a good team. Why in the hell would he ever apologize for that. Coach needs to stick to his gut and not let society dictate how he calls the plays.

This is what I like about Drink though. He's never satisfied. This is what I think will keep us ranked this year.

There's been no further word on ticket sales after Gillin's announcement that there were only 900 left.

Would really show how far we've come with 3 sellout games in a season

Admitting and apologizing aren’t the same. I don’t think he would or should apologize about a decision he makes in game. He might later reflect
and say he would do things differently though. He’s figuring out a balance of valuing the ball and turning the offense loose. You can’t score if you don’t have the ball and UL couldn’t get their hands on it in the 4th quarter.

Coach Drink didn't "apologize" for being conservative. It was just an observation and assessment he made of his own performance as the play caller. His comment was that the "offensive coordinator in him wasn't happy with scoring only 17 points, but the head coach in him loved the 10 point win." He is figuring out the balance and I think he will only get better with experience. His "nature" as an OC is to be very aggressive but he obviously understands the concepts of game and clock management.

I disagree. A sellout at app is misleading. I believe our actual technical capacity is 21,500. It's not 30,000 like some claim. But the hill and massively over populated student section allows many non sell outs to have bigger crowds than sellouts. Here are our attendance averages since stadium expansion.
2005: 23,169
2006: 22,589
2007: 27,140
2008: 28,727
2009: 25,969
2010: 29,449
2011: 28,031
2012: 27,964
2013: 24,894
2014: 23,166
2015: 21,459
2016: 26,153
2017: 25,787
2018: 23,351
2019: 26,461
Weve had 2 sellouts this year....charlotte (29,182) and Coastal (25,055). But ETSU was not a sellout at 25,147 and it was bigger than Coastal. So far we are having a slightly above average attendance season. Sellouts at Kidd Brewer Stadium are meaningless. It just tells you if people bought designated seats or bought general admission tickets....except for 2015 with unbelievable snow storms vs GA State and absolutely terrible weather vs Wyoming....we have sold out over capacity every regular seadon game for 15 years. Any updates from the school on tickets left dont tell us anything. That could be as small as a 22k crowd or as big as a 35k crowd.
