I have my 2 and am bringing 2 friends from SFA to both the tailgate and the game. I think the OU-BYU game is gonna cut into potential attendance somewhat, though.

When was the last time since the Death Penalty, that we sold out a home game that wasn't against Texas Tech or Kansas?

Better yet, how about a filled stadium not playing Tech or Kansas

Biggest crowds other than Tech or KU I remember:

31k TCU last year
27k Baylor a coupla years ago
22k TCU the year we beat them

And that's it.

I was at that game at the Cotton Bowl. Attendance looked like a JV game. We won though!

Liberty University lies about their attendance regularly, they all seem pretty sure they're going to heaven anyway, I don't see why we can't do the same thing

Rice in about 1976 had 6,000 or so which was the year before Russ Potts came in-he promoted "6,000-60,000" the next time Rice played in Dallas. That Fresno St. game on national TV on a Thursday at about 6:30 couldn't have more than 5,000 people in actual attendance.

That was a great game kickoff at like 10AM. Should have beat them too, tell we got stuffed 4 times inside the 3 in OT, that sounds familiar.

Wasn't that Fresno game down at the Cotton Bowl? There might not have even been 3,000 at that game.
