Take a look at that FAU crowd

[emmitt01]

After this defense is done playing this game and the Memphis game, DATCU will look like that against Tulane

[keith]

They would have a better crowd if….

they played opponents the fans cared about

the weather was better

they had an IPF

there were not so many other entertainment options in south Florida

they would just win consistently for a decade

they changed the culture at FAU

Did I miss anything?

So are you saying that if UNT played FAU in the rain at Denton our attendance would be that much Better. Also the reasons you stated about FAU could just as easily be applied to North Texas.

That crowd was an embarrassment to all parties involved in that game.

The second major hurricane in three weeks, widespread power outages and 30% of gas stations in the state being out of fuel might have something to do with it. South Florida had 37 tornados during Milton, the most in a single day in state history. It has been beyond insane here.

You missed the original one.... if they had a new stadium.

[UNT78]

They had a hurricane blow through on Thursday and has been raining ever since then…a lot of people loss everything, might be one reason the attendance was low???? Many people had more important things to than go to a football game!

Their stadium is about 10years old.

No, that was one of the original things people said that was supposed to make for better attendance(*), just like the stuff in the original list.

(*) sorry for letting the cat out of the bag regarding the OPs sarcasm since it seems a few people didn't catch it.

My bad! I love sarcasm but this post went over my head.

I was going to add that, but they have a sort of, relatively new stadium.  However, I did forget one and we do have a new one....

They would have a better crowd if...

fans didn't stay home to watch the game on TV

there weren't any other college football games being played at the same time

[untjim1995]

Its almost as if most G5s not in small college towns or cities without pro sports just can't get much support...who knew?

5-1 and the biggest 'supporters' are some of the biggest haters. Some of y'all just ain't ever gonna be happy, huh?

What more is there to expect right now? At the beginning of the year we'd all be ecstatic if I told you we were 5-1 with Tech being our only loss. The SFA and Wyoming crowds were great, homecoming will be too.

I would like to beat a team with a winning record this year.

I would agree with you, if not for the point that the Tech loss wasn't just a loss.  It was one of the worst 1st half performances in the modern history of college football.  The other games were fun...but they were against teams that range from REALLY bad to below average.  If we lose the next three all by double digits, which is pretty much what most of the college football world expects, it would be understandable for some fans to be disappointed with 5-4 and non-competitive with the upper half of the conference.  Hopefully the defense will surprise some folks and that won't come to pass . . .
