I figured this was the best place to put this, since  

1) I want to a great HOFer just like Greg whwn I grow up and he put his 1000 post here, http://discus.d3hoops.com/discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0> and  

2) because I want some sort attendance recognition for my devoted "attendance" on posting up. http://discus.d3hoops.com/discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0>  

Now, Greg, getting back to our discussion from a few days ago, if I remember correctly, I believe that not only has NP beat IWU the past couple of years, but that they also have a "couple" of national titles too?? http://discus.d3hoops.com/discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0>

diehardfan, Greg had his HOF long before he hit 1000.

We can only hope to achieve that degree of "Sagercity" that the Wise One has attained thru years of study, and not simply posting!  (My dictionary also mentions an obscure meaning of Sagercious is "having a keen sense of smell"!http://discus.d3hoops.com/discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>)

diehardfan

Ralph, personally, I think you deserve to be a HOFer right now, I never will. I take this stuff pretty seriously, but I'm pretty sure I don't take it seriously enough. http://discus.d3hoops.com/discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

Ralph, I blush!

Actually, my sense of smell is only slowly beginning to recover since the Asian Indian family that lived below me in my apartment building moved out two months ago. Nice people, but half the time the odor wafting out of their apartment made my eyes water. Nothing wipes out one's olfactory acuity as thoroughly as the constant overpowering stench of curry. http://discus.d3hoops.com/discus/clipart/sad.gif" ALT=":-(" BORDER=0>

I could swear that they were even putting it on their cornflakes in the morning.

Not all curry has an overpowering stench Greg! http://discus.d3hoops.com/discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>


I think we should rename this "Posting Milestones"

Here's the answer for 2003-2004:

Just found the 2004 attendance numbers from the NCAA stats link - Hope again leads the nation with a 2491 home attendance average.  Ill. Wesleyan second at 2077.  Calvin third at 2014.  MIAA as a conference leads the nation with 1049 average.

Couple of interesting items:
- Hopes attendace was up 108 from the previous year (wonder what it will be once they get to the new arena)
- Compared to DI, Hope's average was above 139 DI schools out of 326 - thats 42.6%!!
- Compared to DII - Hope would have been 12th in the nation in attendance

Yeah - I know - what a homer - but you gotta love Hope basketball!!

Sorta upsetting to see that despite having a playoff caliber team this year, Wheaton's attendance actually dropped 207 per game, moving us from 7th to 17th!

Actually, it's interesting to see how drastically all known CCIW attendance has dropped – both IWU and Wheaton averaged around 200 less, and the conference as a whole dropped more than anyone else. It would be interesting if anyone from the CCIW or other conferences would like to theorize about such dramatic changes in both the CCIW and other teams/conferences.

Mr. Ypsi

Hadn't checked the UAA board in a while, so missed this initially (which could be a problem as THIS board scrolls so quickly! http://discus.d3hoops.com/discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>):

On January 3, a game was played where EACH of the teams scored more points than there were fans in the stands!  (I didn't write it down, but I believe the score was 113-109, the attendance was 95.)

SURELY this is a nearly unique occurrence - isn't it?  Perhaps I'm just spoiled by the CCIW, but surely crowds under 100 (or even 200) are pretty rare ANYWHERE aren't they?

diehardfan

Cabs: lol, you're spoiled by the fact that the only games you've gone to this year were at Wheaton and IWU...  that sounds pretty normal.  

For a example just this year, Wheaton at Curry, Wheaton scored more points than the number of people in attendance at that game. And that despite the fact that there were probably several parents and local alumni of Wheaton who were there for the alumni  events / to watch their kids during the holiday break!

There have already been 20 CCIW team games with less than 200 this year.  There were three CCIW games where both teams scored more than the total attendance, a fourth when one team scored more than the attendance.  

You can check the conference attendance at games on the right hand side of the CCIW conf page http://www.cciw.org/winter_bball_m/2005mbbstandings.php"> here

You can just imagine what happens in less interesting/competitive leagues. I mean, if we are one of the top three leagues attendancewise in the nation...

Some time, browse through the gym size of the schools, I recently attended a game in a CAC gym where the CAPACTITY was only 400.

April, I have to remind you what I told ITF in CCIW Chat several weeks ago: The CCIW attendance stats are not accurate. Neither NPU nor Millikin has filled in the attendance line on the StatCrew box score of every home game. As a result, attendance totals are askew for both schools.

diehardfan

True, there are many areas where NPU is deficient to Wheaton, including this http://discus.d3hoops.com/discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0> (cringes) but a lot of those "under 200" games were either not at those schools, or away...
