Eh... I'm just here for fun and drinks. If someone isn't having fun posting BS on a CFB forum.. Well they have some bigger life issues to figure out.

The kick catch interference call was correct.

Yes, the returner bobbled it, but the ball never hit the ground.  Kick catch protection ends WHEN THE BALL HITS THE GROUND.

It was still on Burn's body when the UTEP player ran into him.

You should have called the booth. The commentators were questioning the call. Drove me crazy.

All year it was discussed the schedule was loaded with the worst teams at the back end. So now were about to prove were the best of the bad teams in CUSA

I figured the team would’ve given up by now and be a shell of a team. By no means are we good but we’re better than the shit..which some people apparently are happy with

How was attendance? I wasn't able to watch the game.

ESPN said a little over 20K.  Crowd seemed mostly quiet until the last few minutes.

That's a nice crowd if true. I know it was homecoming, but for our record that's a solid crowd.

Both sides were generally full.  UTEP brought more fans than anyone else this season.  When the Miners made a big play there was a very audible reaction from those in orange.  KFC will travel well in 2 weeks.

Win in Miami

GO MEAN GREEN

Nowhere near 20k actual people. But this is common these days.

Consider the sold/no show tickets and I think 20K plus us accurate.

What should be reported is people that enter the stadium. Some schools have the stones to actually do this and live in reality.

Which schools are that?  Not even major P5's commonly do that.

Arkansas specifically reports the tickets scanned number. I am trying to remember the others I have seen. I am sure a simple FOIA request could get ours (unless North Texas asserted it was a trade secret) but I guarantee all of the chronic wild crowd over estimators on here would not be happy with the numbers. 

[greenjoe]

Is a ticket sold but not “sat in” not a seat counted ?  That ticket is not available to anyone else.  How else would it be counted ?  
 

I thought we had a good crowd on a chilly night. 

GO MEAN GREEN

Everyone does this, the dirty secret is that if someone buys a ticket and doesn't show up, that ticket will get reprinted and scanned.  Yes, even the P5s.

When a certain school to the south of us first came up, they had some big alumni buy a large amount of tickets for every game.  Never even bothered to give them out they were just scanned to hit the numbers. 

The thing is the NCAA DOES care about FBS schools hitting 15k attendance, You have to turn in audited logs.  They just don't really care how you hit that number.

I thought 20,000 seemed about right. More than I expected to be there & lots of orange from UTEP mixed in.
