Big Sky Tourney Attendance History: Reno 41st of 41 years

[weberwildcat]

One other random fact...

The BSCT has only been at a "Predetermined" site twice, 1994 (Boise) and 2016. Coincidentally Weber was the regular season champ both times.

I'm pretty sure they went to Denver for a year or two. I was going to ask if you included this into your stats. Additionally, there was a period they tried hosting it the school who won it the previous year. Those numbers would surely figure in differently to the stats.

Oh ok, if so it isn't very clear without comparing each year's reg season champ and the location, for example 1994 in boise it would have been hard to know boise wasn't the reg season champ. I don't think Denver was ever used though.

Here is 1976 until 2013, the rest a fresh enough in our memories though.

I can understand your being upset with the BSC. I can understand your not wanting to support the BSCT as well. What I have a hard time with is your refusal to support your school and team because of what the BSC has done. That makes no sense to me. I can see you being upset with a poor home OOC schedule and complaining to the school about it. Once again, I don't see the logic in pulling support from your team due to any of that and yet still come on this site and pretend to be a fan and complain to the rest of us, who, BTW, have no ability to change anything you are upset about. And, YES, if you are a proponent of WSU growing or moving to a bigger conference, how in the world is your pulling support going to further that cause. I'm not the smartest man in the world, Maybe you can explain that logic to me. :wall: :wtf: :willybs: :yikes:

I have a few issues going on over the past few years with WSU, it's not just reNO; that was just the final straw. Neither WSU or the BSC seem to have much concern for 20+ year, faithful supporters of their product. Maybe you can explain the logic to me of why I should not only continue my financial support but increase it for for a product that is worse for the customer?

You never addressed my point or answered my question, simply redirected it on me.

Attendance was not what this was all about. Better attendance would be nice, but this whole thing is not about the fans.

If we ever want to grow our programs into something bigger and better, we will need to show that we can travel well.

Is this or is this not a contradiction?

I'm still having a hard time understanding how playing an all-in, neutral tournament (with no one watching, mind you) improves programs or the conference.

If it's not about the fans; if it's not about attendance; if it's not about exposure (I don't see how it can be because nobody is watching it,) then how can it not about participation awards? How is it supposed to improve programs and the conference. If I've simply missed the answer, please remind me.

 

[oldrunner]

OK. It's clear to me now.

You hate the BSC, you hate WSU, you hate WSU Athletics, you have pulled your support for all of the above, and you are a fan of all of the above.

Yes. I am getting your logic now. :wtf:
