SMU led CUSA in attendance this week.

We should wear red in the stands for now on. That was great

i wouldnt mind alternating the red white and blue colors though.

What does your husband think?

The red out was great against tcu, but a BLUE OUT is needed against Red Houston.

And here I have been taught that two small religious schools couldn't draw a crowd. Win & people will come.

Yes, winning is vital to attendance. But so is a team of interest like a TCU, a Tech, an A&M. This game attracted the casual fan. Winning will come. We need to continue to improve scheduling.

This Week's Attendance:
1.SMU - 35,481 (vs. TCU)
2.UH - 32,007 (vs. Tulane)
3.UTEP - 29,765 (vs. Memphis)
4.MU - 28,143 (vs. Ohio)
5.Rice - 23,395 (vs. Baylor)
6.Tulsa - 21,928 (vs. Central Arkansas)

Interesting to note that the total of the 3 most highly attended games in CUSA this week don't even fill up DKR stadium or the majority of SEC stadiums.

SEC avg attendance YTD:
Alabama 101,821
Tennessee 99,699
Georgia 92,746
LSU 92,557
Florida 90,446
Auburn 86,043
South Carolina 75,031

With 97K in sold tickets between SMU, UH and UTEP, it's more than all but two SEC teams. OK, but now compare the progress those three schools have made relative to any of the SEC teams on this list. The important thing is steady progress.

SMU and UH together equal Arkansas' avg YTD attendance. Not bad for two urban universities on the rise, compared with a flagship state university with a Heisman candidate and a Top 10 ranking last weekend with #1 Alabama in town.
