Maybe, just maybe, the students will come back early to attend the game. Kinda like they do at other places. Certainly going to say a lot one way or the other if in fact we are 10-1.
22,528 announced, about 5,000 less than our best this year... which is pretty darn good for 11 a.m... I had 7 with me last game and will i will have 5 or 6 with me this game... 2 of them were first timers and one that had not been to a game in 20 plus years.
If we manage to get 20K against a bad football team, I will be absolutely stunned. Pleasantly surprised, yes, but stunned. I'm expecting more around 18K.

Just bought some tickets on Ticketmaster this morning. It appears the ticket availability is even more limited than the Tulsa 28,000 plus game... so who knows??
We need to have 3-4 years of 9+ wins, a conference championship or two, and for the American to continue to be good like this. If we do that I think we will move to a Boise/TCU (pre-Big 12) perception to casual fans and really see attendance tick up.

Thought the same thing when I was looking at it last night.
