Attendance Article, Matt Baker

[George_Bullnard_Shaw]

At least he finally mentioned college football's open secret. Attendance is declining everywhere.

I don't even get the Sunday paper. Their delivery guy/girl would just be another nussance that reminds me why I despise them. They would inveriably throw the paper into my front door to wake my dog. I'll just continue to pass on their free assault on my personal beliefs.

Fans should miss watching WVU but that’s it. We had empty stadiums for Pitt and Cuse. They really did not bring much to the BE.

God I hope he's part of the new round of layoffs at the times

As much as I dislike the guy I don’t think I can go that far. He more than likely has a family support. Maybe a reassignment to the mail room...

As I recall, Cuse brought a decent amount of fan...with a large, very loud group in 2010.

Empty stadiums say more about the home team than the visiting teams.

I hear what you're saying, but let's face it, getting canned from the times would be a blessing in disguise. There are plenty of online media outlets that would love a guy that can stir up a fanbase (great for online traffic). I wouldn't want to be the last rat on the sinking ship that is the TBT.

TBT needs more traffic and Matt fits their mold by being a sports troll--could be why they hired him to begin with. Much as JK gets on our nerves sometimes, he's closer to a real reporter so he'd probably be the one to go.

Yeah not cool.. not a big fan of his work, but I’m not hoping he or anybody else loses their job...

Good God, it's perfectly acceptable to post pictures of barely of age Co eds on this forum, but as soon as someone makes a joke about a crappy sports journalist... that's crossing the line? I know these past two losses have been tough, but get real.
