It was great hearing from the Coach yesterday. He was saying that we have a ton of good recruits and it really pumped me up. We continue to get the Florida speed and some NJ might. I know there was talk about the MAC games played during the week, but Coach actually said that our presense during the week is helping our recruiting since we get more exposure out of OHIO with no other games being played.

KEEP THOSE WEEKDAY GAMES COMING!

We usually hear the critics of the weekday games talk about the negative impact on attendance. The poor attendance then gives us a bad image among recruits and the rest of the country.

The supporters of the weekday games say that the increased TV exposure helps our recruiting. If you follow that through, better recruiting will eventually lead to better teams, more wins, and eventually increased attendance. Brandon seems to fall into this camp.

It could have that effect. Weekdays games do take some people right out of the attendance mix, especially those who are out of town, but they might well be an advantage on balance. Our attendance on Saturdays isn't that consistent either.

It's just a shame that we have all those osu fans here that would rather watch the suckeyes on TV than go to the Doyt and cheer on our beloved Falcons.

That is a good point. Guess I never thought of it that way.
