Yeah if you are a die hard and your new HC who is promising National Titles is in year two, how the hell do you only average 19,800 per game? Heck that was only 10 years ago. I understand that RU sucked hard under Shea but look at their home schedule. They had a legit shot at 4 Ws out of 6 games. They had Nova, who going into the year a die hard would think is a W. They had UB, who they beat on the road the year before. So a die hard had to think W there. They had Army who was bad the year prior. Plus RU beat Navy, a similar team the year before. WV there was no reason to go especially after the 80-7 loss the year prior (yes 80-7). They had Miami and you go just to see Miami, even if just for a half. They were defending National Champs after all. Finally they ended with Temple, who they lost to easily the year before but it is Temple. A die hard has to think they have a good shot there. So with the prospect of 4 Ws and seeing the defending Champs they averaged under 20k for the year. Plus everyone knows half the fun of CFB is tailgating anyway. So an RU die hard had no excuse not to show up in 2002. 
 
Heck RU didn't break 30k until 2004. And 2006 was the first time they ever averaged over 35k!!!! Their 2005 season was similar to our 2007 season in that both schools stunk for awhile and finally got to a Bowl. Yes their stink was longer and smellier. But we complained about our 40k while they were fist pumping and gloating about their 33k. We haven't been that low since Archbold. That was 7 years ago for them. Last year they only averaged 43,750 including the "full" student section. That fact that they expanded that stadium is a joke.
