will students still be on campus? classes next week? If they are gone, could be a sad day with only the 1500 and a few of the team's friends and family in attendance. At least those coming out to wish the senior class farewell will have their choice of great seats and hopefully see these guys go out with a win...oh, and I agree the "announced" attendance will be in the 15k range

Our group has season tickets in the blue section, it's always more sparse then the red seats. We may move down to the red seats, plus, it may help with those winds that are supposed to be gusting!

I may guess again tomorrow since attendance speculation is so much fun!

It will be nice when these threads are no longer started.

Side note, I love that picture. T-Swift for the win.

There is class Monday and Tuesday, but that rarely stopped me when I was an undergrad and had somewhere to be...

Ah yes, the M-T classes of Thanksgiving week.
I'd have profs give us "quizzes" those days that were basically an easy bonus grade for those of us who didn't fly off to Aspen or wherever. One poli sci class asked us who the first president of the U.S. was.

The "weather" excuse is not acceptable for missing this game, just dress accordingly. The so called fans staying home; because of concerns about the lace on their panties....will only expedite the departure of Chad Morris. At least go in for the first half.. and get your ticket scanned.

The Chad factor seems to have provided exactlly zero extra enthusiasm for the program, outside of the 1500 and some talking heads.

This year we had an exciting new coach, a better team, golf cart rides, better weather, and better start times.......yet no improvement in butts in seats.

Not sure I agree with those that say he knew exactly what he was getting into. Only time will tell, but he doesn't seem like a 'patient' guy.

I hear you, but there was some excitement (definitely a lot more student attendance) early on in the season. I think people got beat down by the 1-9 start. If we are winning (and beat TCU/Baylor along the way) and have the same dismal attendance I will agree there is a huge problem.

You can't expect all but the most ardent fans to WANT to go watch a 1-9 team. People weren't going to Baylor games (ahem...endzone tarps?) when they weren't winning.

Win, and then let's see what happens.

Me and my clan will be there....and probably the only ones left in our section in the 4th like at last year's USF game.
