I am afraid that, after their success last season, Monmouth may have more of a national brand recognition than any PL team. Monmouth didn't even make the NCAA's last year, and the only reason the casual fan MIGHT still remember them is because of their "Bench Mob" dancing, which they don't even do anymore. I know I posted this in a couple of threads a few years back, but I believe we ned to build a following for HC more than the teams that HC may be playing. The latter may bring in a few more fans, but only to se HC's opponent. I completely agree with this point.

Well, some may remember their 28 wins last year, including wins over Notre Dame and UCLA. They were upset in their tourney finals by Iona, but many thought they should have gotten an at-large bid to the Big Dance. This year they are 9-2.

Having been at or watched every Holy Cross game on TV/video, with a couple of lucky bounces we could have been 9-2 as well. Only South Carolina and Syracuse were we totally outplayed and outscored. Heck even if we got half those lucky bounces, this team would probably be 7-4 or 6-5. Let's all light a candle, say a rosary or make an expedited novena for RC's knee.

Do people seriously think anyone not affiliated with HC is going to the Colgate, Lafayette, Army et al games at the Hart this (or any other) year???
That is delusional.

The PL schedule is holding us back. We will never bring back the fans with the schedule of PL games that we play. The only PL team that may bring out the fans is Bucknell as they always have a team that people will watch.

While I agree Bucknell may be a bit of a draw for some fans, the way to get more fans into the Hart is beating teams - PL teams consistently and OOC teams frequently. People will come to watch a 11-3 team that play the South Carolina and Syracuse teams close before they will come see a a 6-8 team.
