You are correct…60% early on. My post specified announced sellouts in the latter part of the season being in the 80%+ range.
Great you are such a good fan and regularly attend games. I was wrong to assume you weren’t there in the latter part of the season for the larger crowds. I just get so tired of the damned attendance threads and get cranky in my old age.
It’s all good. I hate the attendance threads too. I love the people that are there with us in person and in spirit! We all want the same things for UH! Love and support! We are pulling the wagon in the same direction! Our kids will be ready! Good vibes for the Coogs to go 9-0 for the rest of March and the first week in April!
That would actually be really fun Charles. I telecommute for my job so I’m on conference calls all day as I’m sure several of us are. It will be interesting if we’re allowed to go to sports bars and have watch parties. I’m thinking anything like George R Brown last year is out.
I live in Tennessee where knock on wood things aren’t currently bad like at all even in states around us. Hoping this all calms down soon and maybe we can get to the final 4 in nearby Atlanta with fans.
Coach Sampson is probably best equipped to play without fans since his first couple of years in the Hof were barely attended. I was there to witness “crowds” of less than 1000. It was not nearly as exciting as a full house.
As a student I think a lot of the lack of enthusiasm was from the lackluster football season as well as the poor start to the season with losses like BYU and Oklahoma State. Also a lot of students go home during the weekend so games on Friday, Saturday and Sunday had poor attendance. I think as the program continues to be successful attendance will improve especially if we have a hot start.
No matter what game we play the TV announcers ALWAYS talk about our practices and how hard-nosed and aggressive they are. Boys…this is just like practice. Eat um up!
