SMU vs TCU attendance?

[mtrout]

Agreed. I was sure it would be canceled. Shows what i know.

At one point I was hoping this game would be cancelled but given our 1st half performance I was glad it wasn't. That 1st half gave me hope for this season, even though I was pretty sure I knew what was coming in the 2nd half.

At my grandmother used to say, it's just supposed to "spit" if anything from tailgating time through the end of the game. That means maybe a sprinkle here or there. Nothing to prevent anyone from getting out

Nailed it

When it rains for a two hour delay + 3 hours of tailgating, it much easier for fans to leave when at home versus on the road. Drive back 30 minutes versus from TCU in rain and traffic 1.5hrs. I really thought the game would cancel but I also knew we would lose in the 2nd half badly.

You're, what is the word, omniscient. I think that means, you must know everything.

I’m thinking statistical. We can go with omniscient too.

Lowest attendance for TCU since Ford Stadium was built? Of course, walk up sales were probably non-existent given the weather conditions

They made everyone leave the boulevard at a little after 5, I think it was. So from the end of the boulevard to kickoff was over 3 and a half hours of waiting around. Unless you are a diehard SMU fan, you are going home. You are way more likely to stay if your team is ranked, or at the very least, somewhat competitive. I don't think I can emphasize this enough when I tell you how awful it was to get soaked, get attacked by ginormous crickets (everything is bigger in Texas), get soaked some more, and lose bigly.

[SMU_Alum11]

Exactly. I couldn't agree more. The only way you can have a large population of die hard fans is if you are actually competitive. I'm still not seeing SD as any more than just a recruiter and I've always seen that for a new coach that their first recruiting class is always their best because of playing time, etc. I feel the play calling is very similar to June and it makes me sick that Rick went for a guy that no one else wanted. Everyone say "Oh but Sonny is committed to being here long-term" and that's because he know this was the only person handing out an offer.

Given from what I heard about him and the team walking off while the band was playing Varsity just confirms that he's here for the paycheck and not long-term success.
