So What's the Attendance Excuse for Friday Night?

[orangepack]

Hearing 29K sold for Friday..pathetic.

 

[tipphill]

Yom Kippur

Two game losing streak and not looking particularly good during it. Though I think Maryland will prove to be better than we thought, still not the best games to drum up fans. If we win and there's a buzz we'll get fans. Continuing to s*** the bed in our biggest moments will keep them home.

I heard they had 10K sold for Bee's Soccer game?

Night raking this time of year is unbeatable

didnt they say we sold almost that many season tickets ? i thought the fsu/Lou/Vill deal sold quite a few too? must be the duke/fsu/Lou bball/fball deal didnt sell many either?

We blew it by losing to MD at home. 3-1 with a respectable showing against a top 10 ND, and I think there would be quite a bit of buzz.

2-2...same old, same old is probably the view of most.

 

[OburgOrange]

Not enough Orange... Oh wait.

 

[rrlbees]

None of the northeastern alumni are coming.

 

[Chip]

Louisville should have at least 20 fans there.

Judging by past visits anyway.

Another show of silver on national TV. And then everyone can blame another group for it.

 

[anomander]

excuse is we didn't win. looked awful at home against Nova, and Maryland. If you want the fans to come you have to give them a reason. We have yet to do that so far this year. Still 29k sounds low. Wasn't Louisville included in some packages? I would assume there were at least 29k season ticket packages sold. Plus what's the problem with Friday night games? I love them. Sucks for out of towners that do come, but there isn't enough to make a difference anyways. You want people in the stands, then win some games.

This^^^x100

 

[FAL]

Tickets paid for. I'm too cheap to waste them. Won't take me 5 hours to get there. Nice weather predicted. Leaves not near ready to rake. No excuse... My fat azz will be there.

Yup.

We are a 2-2 team with 1 win in double OT vs. And FCS school, we laid two eggs at home, only one of which were we able to pull out our butts and win.

We are coming of back to back losses.

The general consensus of our team is (and probably should be) that we are mediocre. We need to beat a team at home. We don't have to beat them by a million to get fan support rolling, but we do need to win, and it sure as heck would go a long ways if we could look somewhat competent while doing it.

Winning cures all ills, and that's includes 1/4 empty domes. If we were 3-1 or an unbelievable 4-0 (and probably ranked) the place would be packed. That isn't the case. If you want fans in house, you need to win or at a minimum play an exciting brand of football, so far this year we aren't exactly doing either. We are losing games and playing a frustrating brand of football that is mistake filled and penalty-prone

 

[Chris02M]

I still would be surprised if only 29k were there. 35k minimum

 

[CanadianSU]

I THOUGHT THIS was going to be a sellout

What, we even had a thread for it!!!

29k is absolutely pathetic. CFL gets more than that. Our fanbase non local or local just purely sucks straight up. 29k for the first ACC game... What a joke seriously, no other way to put it. Don't blame it on our play either, we have 2 losses to 2 good football teams... 0-4 should be more than 29k on a friday night (k thats a stretch...you get the point)

Sigh.

I thought we had like 40k sold the week of Maryland?

Nope...just nope. They shat the bed vs Villanova and crapped again vs MD. What do you expect the casual fan to think? I'll tell you: "Same old, same old, mediocre. SU."
