you started losing the students to beer, the elderly to naps, and little kids to weeknight bedtime. thats pretty much our fanbase. I kid. sort of.

8,000-11,000 with a bunch of UH fans for the only natural rivalry in the new Big East. Yeah this is going to end up well. Let's drop the only games any SMU fans care about like TCU, Baylor, A&M, Tech, etc.

as they panned the stadium in 1st half, I guessed the crowd was in the 16-18k range, but by late in the 3rd quarter, it looked like one of our many classic displays of a few thousand loyalists

let's hope we have nice weather and can draw at least as many for Memphis. That's the kind of game we should have been planning give-a-ways for since before the season started.

Next week is Homecoming, so be prepared for a mass exodus of Biblical proportions from the students after halftime. They'll filter in and actually make the student section look impressive in the 2nd quarter, but by the end of the 3rd it will be down to less than half-full, or half-empty depending on your predisposition.
