How's it going?

I don't think there have been any additional votes for about the past hour.

ISU still up by about 240 votes. 2 hours of voting left.

Tech tweeted from their football account. We did not. That was the difference...

Do we hang up a banner at Hilton for this final four appearance??

How stupid to not have the intern fire off a retweet from the Cyclone athletics or Cyclone football accounts... Winning in the margin must not apply to athletic department social media

I think it comes down to whether UCLA is relevant nationally. If they are not, the interest really goes down quickly.

I will use their home attendance as an example.

In 1998, UCLA finished the regular season 10-1 (they were 10-0 going into their final game @Miami) and went to the Rose Bowl. They were coming off of a 10-2 season and a win in the 1997 Cotton Bowl. They were I believe top 20 in Home attendance that year and averaged almost 74k fans per game.

In 1999, they went 4-7. Their home attendance dropped to less than 50k per game.

A more recent example is 2014 (their last 10 win season). They had 76,650 per home game, and were #19 nationally in attendance that year. From 2016-2019 however, they did not have a single winning season. By 2019, their home attendance had dropped to under 44k.

This doesn't tell you how many people are watching them on tv.. but I think it gives an indication of overall fan interest and how it peaks during the good times and drops off quickly if they start losing. Especially in college football where there are a lot of variables with match time. In the midst of the exam season, everyone thinks about how to close everything by checking for plagiarism papers with services like https://fixgerald.com/, so as not to redo everything all over again. There are a lot of things you can miss from this counting.

I think that this data is missing more moments with someone who at this time also played, for only defeats are not the final argument. But yes, that's what the stats say.
