Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 481165, member: 874"] Not placing blame, just making a comparison. We can't compare the coach's success when he doesn't get comparable fan support. Tennessee has been down and hasn't been to a bowl game the last two years, but it wouldn't surprise me if they had 90,000 plus for the first game next year. Even when their attendance was down at the end of this year they were getting 60,000. Marrone wasn't disappointed that we didn't sell out every game. He was disappointed that we barely broke 40,000 against a ranked Louisville team when we still had a chance to share the Big East championship. What are realistic attendance expectations for a team that wants to be in the top 25, and was probably pretty close after a bowl win? [/QUOTE]
