I would like Karl Benson and the WAC presidents to notice which game had the highest attendance.  I suspect that this city is the smallest or the second smallest of all the host cities for the first round.  Remember, the tickets were on sale for less than a week.  I would also like to encourage the NCAA to have a bye week between the end of the season and the start of the playoffs.  It may help attendance.  All of these numbers, I am certain, are well below the season average.

Yes, more evidence that Montana is ready to join the WAC.
