Hard to believe that figure.

Between the Mustang Band and the UCF fans, there couldn't have been 300 people on the east side. Were there really that many on the home side?

Students were non-existent because it was the beginning of the Thanksgiving holiday break and the majority of them had gone home.

It was also high school football playoff weekend and some SMU fans were probably at those games instead of at Ford.

And other fans were probably out-of-town for the week-long Thanksgiving holiday break with their families.

Not that any of it really matters because.... :roll:

Definitely not a great day for smu football when you look at it like that

and we wonder why our guys don't play inspired football...and why it is difficult to attract recruits to SMU? But I'm sure Ford would have been packed if we were playing today for a chance to advance to the CUSA Championship game

They HAVE to be using the accounting staff from Enron to come up with that number.

By the 4th quarter, you could have given away 3000 free items with some left over.

I'm inclined to agree. As Troy Aikman once said: "[Dallas] isn't a football town, it's a winners town."

Yes, if we had come into this game 8-2, we probably would have had as many as 15,000 there today
