I don't know, great people though most of their fans are I'm not sure that SHSU (or SFA presumably) has the same type of relatively large (for FCS), football-loving fanbase that FCS teams up here in Montana or North Dakota seem to have. For example, when SHSU played NDSU in Frisco, TX (past two FCS championships), the NDSU fans vastly outdrew SHSU, despite Huntsville being right down the block in comparison. I don't recall the exact percentage but I think it was something like 70-80% NDSU.
I'm guessing that has to do with the fact that we have no "big names" up here to draw fan interest away, like a Texas or A&M, or even Baylor, Houston, SMU etc.
But hell, what do I know. Watch a couple hundred people show up now that I'm trying to give self-assurance

. Hope the game turns out well, I'd probably go if I wasn't a broke college student.

Garrett Gilbert, who you may remember as the guy who spelled Colt McCoy in the 2010 BCS National Championship game against Alabama, transferred to SMU and is now our starting QB.
I wondered where the heck he went.
