Winning does cure all, very true - but back to back tournament appearances with a win sounds like winning to me.
Mark told me on that site that there was no interest in UA so they don't report. Siena fans mock the attendance. Siena releases a video highlight reel of every game that the Times Useless posts on the blog. They seem to be a much more media friendly school.
To me its the old chicken or egg scenario. Get the press to report and push it and the fans and interest will follow.
Thanks for the answers btw. I have been reading the site for years, but finally registered and just got validated.
