This year Dana has excuses built in. Next year had better be a big turnaround. But the true fans come to the game regardless of the record.

Announced. There were not 52K in attendance for their Homecoming.
My goodness, we had 25k announced for our last home game.

You express the reasons why we have an attendance problem. Understanding you correctly you will only show up if we win. The next excuse I am going to read is that it was too hot, too cold, raining, snowing or there was a big sale at Gallery Furniture…
Building a program means that you show up no matter what. Get it?
You have long timers that are there win or lose. They have been in the stands since the 50’s. You attend and we lose? That is life so called CoogDefender. Wins are only sweeter after so much adversity. The kids put their bodies on the line every game. Have respect for them and show up. We are not Alabama yet but we will never get there with your attitude or some that are on this board. I believe that there many trolls on this board and they sure like to show up when the going gets tough.

I have been to every home game since I graduated in 2010… I bought season tickets as a broke kid out of school and have upgraded them as I moved up in my career. Yeah but keep assuming things.
I find it interesting you post this now after this
“Put a product on the field that folks can believe in and you will have more fans show up. Athletic department have a hard time marketing when $4 million is going to line his pockets this year”
I am all for fairly criticizing but your post is directed with one purpose in mind. It sure does not reflect that you attend every game. Am I still assuming?

Yes you are.
Well, the concession lines should be short…finding a positive…plenty of room to stretch out too.

Dana the 2nd, oh, ok.
Thank you Snarky
We really need an ignore button.
I’m all for different opinions, exchanges of ideas, etc. But I have a harder time abiding the ignorant or the asinine.

Combine SMU, Rice, Tulsa and Tulane into one fanbase and we would have a rival.
