Attendance: 1,282.  Accurate?

No.

Seems like it is a little high. I am not necessarily the best estimator, but it looked like maybe 600-800 to me.

We have a coliseum that seat 10,000 people. There are 36k students who go to school here. There are 200k+ local alumni within an hour of the university. ANd hundreds of thousands of people who live close by and could feasibly go to a college game.

And we have a product that filled all of 700 seats for a game between two powder puff teams.

Yes, this is all accurate. What is also accurate is there are still (somehow) people that support the man that made it happen, Ricky V.

Florida Atlantic lost to Eastern Kentucky 80-36 and people are worried we will be at the bottom of our conference. Our conference other than LA Tech who also lost tonight is awful.

Wow.

Thanks RV. Good thing you got those 17 to make sure you keep getting a paycheck...

It really is sad that this AD is continued to be allowed to collect a check after what he has done to men's basketball, not to mention all of the other failures.

Thst is not what it said when I checked the box score and posted. I put the score that was in the box score. I guess they had it wrong at the time, but the players stats added up.

Man, what would we do without the SWAC and bottom half of the Southland?

Feel free to blame the holidays as students are not on campus as well.

I think a more fitting rename would be "The Tony Benford House of Pain!"

Tony Benford Shanty of Sub-Mediocrity?

I'm sure you will blame anyone or anything but the man responsible.

Attendance always slips during the winter break but you'll do anything to inject your hate for RV.

So why has it slipped the last 3-4 years?

Lack of winning is why the overall attendance has gone down but there has long been a dip this time of year due to the holidays and school being out.

[Green P1]

I know when I quit going to basketball games three years ago... It was because of the holidays.

When did we become incapable of talking about a single game and keeping only the context of that one game?

Well, given that one of the "17" is worth 500 regular fans and I saw 2 of the 17 in attendance, 1,282 sounds about right.

To be fair, he came on an apologized for that remark.

The pathetic thing is in that podcast he said something to the effect of "well, the reality is we're not getting the money (for Littrell's contract) from ticket revenue." But the context he said it was as if to say that it was all thanks to him being able to get the big donors and no thanks to the fans for not showing up. As if it's their fault his hires have been awful.

SMU just beat the SAME Nichols team 86-42.....
