UMass Football Marketing Plan, UConn Game Attendance, Etc

I love watching the triple option. Seeing it carve up UConn? Not so much.

I think Army would be a great add too.

I'd love a home and home. A road trip to West Point would be a must visit. Plus we could watch Matt Walsh's brother Jesse who enters the Academy this fall and should be a key player for the Cadets.

West Point may be one of the most beautiful places to see a football game. When the Hudson Valley is alive with color and the stadium high above the river. The Corp of Cadets and Army traditions add a whole other dimension to the location. Amazing place! Been there for three games. I tell casual fans if you are going to go to one place catch a college football game go to West Point, preferably in October.

Why? What makes them different than Navy? Serious question.

Why did they lose to Navy by a billion points every year? Good football players don’t enroll there seems to be their biggest issue.

They seem to understand. Look at their schedule.

My point is I don’t understand WHY they haven’t they gotten the athletes like Navy for the past generation. If inferior coaching and/or lack of institutional commitment that is fixable. Its not like the defense department has decreed that Navy shall be better at football than Army, right?

Couple of years old but a good read if you really have the interest and the time (while sipping a cocktail one afternoon/morning):

Why has Army continued to struggle while Navy and Air Force flourish? (Part 1)

Why Army struggles with rivals excelling (Part 2)

Why Army struggles with rivals excelling (Part 3)

Why Army struggles with rivals excelling (Part 4)
 
Thanks! That cleared up a lot for me. Army’s woes are self-inflicted and in theory could be undone. They have gotten better the past couple of years, including finally beating a decent Navy team in December. It will be interesting to see if that is an indication of a paradigm shift over there.

How about they fix it before they get in a conference with UCF, Houston etc?

Seems like that is the proper order.

Why would anyone want to watch UMass and Army go 1-15 in the AAC every year.

What in the world is the benefit other than a reason to go to Michie which we can all
go to anyway.

Fair enough. I was wondering if it was fixable.
