    Recession or not, I can’t imagine the economy in Boone, N.C. being any better than Lafayette, LA.

Not saying that I'm endorsing Lewis but we don't get many Trevor Lawrence's or Tua's around here to just insert and get better play. Based on what we have scheduled to come in via recruiting, I'll take the guy with experience at this point.

    We'd have more than 15K with the parameters listed. I'm offering why we're also not drawing 30K. Our program hasn't had nearly as successful a history. They don't have a football titan about an hour away. I'm just saying ya can't compare them because it's truly apples and oranges, but we'd have put more than 15K actual butts in the stadium yesterday with the weak history, and current record.

    I'm willing to wait to see what transpires, I am counting on Napier fixing our lack of depth and talent at the QB position going into next year. If Lewis ends up being our QB for the next season, I would expect similar results to this year. That would be disappointing and I would certainly hope Napier has better plans than that.

    First of all, I agree as I'm taking a wait and see approach as well and I certainly would expect the staff to try to fill depth best they can. Having said that, my original post was pointing out that it is often easier said than done to go out and find an immediate replacement who can come in immediately and give you better play than anyone currently on your roster and in your system. There is likely a good chance that Levi can and will be our starter come next year and like you, I feel like our results would be pretty similar.

    One difference is the QB keeping on the read option becomes a real threat. Defenses would make Levi prove he can beat them with his arm vs his legs for sure.

    For anyone who thinks the Boone economy has something to do with App attendance...Lots of $10 to $15 an hour jobs in the mountains, $30k a year is "good money" as they say...However, the school is basically it's largest employer. There is a huge alumni population in Charlotte, those are your 75k and up jobs. I keep asking myself why some of you guys can't understand the issues involved with attendance. Yea, some of it is the economy, but it gets tiresome hearing about the Lafayette economy when this latest OF collapse is the 3rd since the early 80s...look, I'm unemployed and over 60...the last thing I'm blaming on my plight is the economy. There's been bad and horrible local economies across the land while Lafayette was riding high...hell, I moved to NC 23 years ago, if it's no good in Lafayette for you, move. Lafayette is also a medical hub, technology, and banking hub...those businesses aren't suffering are they?

    Don’t think they’re bit(hing about their circumstances. Luckily I’ve had employment whenever I looked, but I’m very empathetic to those less fortunate. By the way once you move hundreds and thousands of miles away you’ll have a problem attending local games.

    Oil field service companies used to buy extra tickets and often for their producing company customers. Those other industries you mention don't have that dynamic.

    That's why we are going after JUCO guys because Napier does not trust anyone on the roster to win the job

    Lewis is still unpolished going into his junior year and refuses to take a redshirt

    True.

    The oilfield still does that.

    No one would have them this year, that is why you saw paid attendance at 6000 to 8000 more than butts in the seats.

    However, I believe that is about to change.
