...at least we're not Miami.  Did you see any of their game yesterday?  That may have been the smallest crowd I've ever seen for a major college football game.  Granted, it was raining.  But still...

Even in todays attendance climate, that was shocking.  It looked like about a dozen people in the stands around midfield.  Even my wife who never pays attention to things like that said "why is no one at that game?"

I saw a lot of empty seats around the country yesterday.

Old folks like me that wouldn't miss a game in the 60's 70's 80's and decided enough is enough and it's too easy to stay home and watch it are being placed with younger ones that have more things to do than go to a football game. I went several years because it was the only way to see us play...just not that way any longer I'm afraid.

Plus we got spoiled.....we had 90,000 plus yesterday watching a 4-6 team playing Vandy but we deem it a failure because we were 10-18,000 short of being full. I'd bet if you looked at the attendance from yesterdays games....we would be in the top 6-7 in the country.

Biggest bandwagon fans in the country....bling wearing thugs who never even sniffed a college class, let alone attended "the U".  One of the worst fanbases in the country...
