Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 27392, member: 716"] There was a very quiet 42,000 in the house against North Carolina State in 1997 (which really should serve to temper some of the criticism of today's fans; if we can't draw better than 42,000 for the home opener when McNabb is regarded a Heisman candidate, we are ranked #13, we're playing an ACC school, and we just shut out Wisconsin the week before, it shouldn't be a surprise that we don't draw well today.) It was a morgue in there against NCSU, and I felt that contributed to the lazy play of the team. UNC, Tennessee, and Michigan all failed to sell out, also (though the UNC crowd was very loud and the UT crowd was electric, especially for a nooner). I was at three of those four games, and the student turnout wasn't close to the student turnout for Wake, which was the largest I've ever seen at the Dome. [/QUOTE]
