We haven't even started the usual attendance threads yet, but this week's Blvd might have been the worst attended yet this year.
Had a buddy in from out of town and was shocked to see how slow it was.

Very true, I've never been one to [deleted] about attendance because the team hasn't produced anything that a casual fan (the type we need if we want to fill Ford regularly) would want to see.

If you want to go to total yards, you have to throw in passing yards as well.
I'll let you do the research

if you want to [deleted] about attendance, just wait until the Rice game...

I believe coming in they were averaging 5.5 yards per carry. They are the No. 3 rushing offense in Country

I agree mostly with gostangs, except the last sentence.
NomAnor, this year sucks? It has definitely sucked at times, but you clearly didn't go to the school when I was there (1989-1993) ... I would be doing cartwheels on the Vard if we were 6-3 / 6-4 and going to a bowl game!
It will get better.

I think June Jones isnt over-rated, but needs to get over his ego. I mean he needs to discipline players, like go Aggie and recruit a 12th man out in the stands to play QB so he knows that he is doing terrible. I mean he has I think more interceptions than touchdowns....
