I do love it when the some of the FW robots come on here and brag about their attendance in their dump (We can still call it that until the new facelift is done -- which looks really good on the drawings).

Remember, this is a BCS team that didn't feature sellouts for ALL of its games. And then they made a big deal that they sold out for Baylor :? . Great programs should be selling out all the time.

I just had somebody tell me the other day that they are going through with their chuch function that runs counters to the Wyoming game (Oct. 9 -- I think?) and said "Yeah. That's not going to be a well attended game.''

What? You have the No. 5 team in the nation coming off a BCS appearance and is gearing toward a second if not the national championship and you can't sell it out the darn stadium? I thought all of FW was behind this team.

Well, maybe it's selective support?

~38,000 tickets already sold for Wyoming - in all likelihood it, too, will be a sellout.

Shouldn't a Top 5 contending program not say "In all likelihood a sellout?"at any point of its run. You should be disappointed that last year's great run did not produce sellouts before the season even started.

Ideally. It's a common problem with small schools...look at Miami back in the day - couldn't fill their stadium either.

Let's talk about Top 10, PAC 10 Stanford averaging 44k and not selling out...

Which is odd because they love exhibitions on grass.

How about SMU played well vs. TCU came out flat because I said a little of 'In the future' last week.

Does anyone believe this stuff?


Irony! How about: Wow, we played a tough game against the 4th best team in the Country. We are not that far away! (You minimize your accomplishment).

Versus: They may be a top 25 team but certainly not top 5 or 10.

Funny how those that cast stones...

We will be ready next year and loaded. GP will never lose to JJ.

Your head is so far up Peruna's rump you can lick his tonsils. Do you need a flash light?

I love attendance smack from Baylor and SMU.

IT would be wise to ignore both GP's.

SMU has no reason to talk about attendance at all and shouldn't go there.

I could say the same for you and the rest of your FW Robots and how you feel about bi-polar Patterson.

Look you love your school and that won't change. I love SMU and that won't change.

So I think we're done here.

You just go and do your thing. And we'll do ours.

You have a nice day.

I have nothing to say about attendance, but that avatar and sig pic are awesome froggie. If you could just paint over that funky purple flag :wink:
