i'm pretty sure the last home game i missed was on nov. 19, 2005 against monroe (i had to go back and look at schedules)...this saturday will mark my 35th straight home game to attend...so tell me...if you can, how many home games have you made in a row???

i've been blessed to not have any life on the weekends, other than football, and an understanding wife that has no issue with me spending ungodly amounts of time tailgating, drinking, acting a fool, and attending the home games. i don't always get to stay the entire game, but i show up for at least a half.

yes...THIS IS A PISSING CONTEST!!!! HAHAHAH...KIDDING!

All of them, since the season we were trying to hit attendance numbers to move back to I-A. What was that...'95, '96...something like that.

When you get old your memory fades badly. I missed a few home games in 65 and 66, the snow game against Florida State (I only made it less than 10 miles in an hour), and all of the 1983 season. I could have missed a couple of others but I honestly don't remember. Oh yeah, I missed the 1951 through 1954 seasons except for the opening of Fouts in 1952 (home on leave). Otherwise, everything else since 1948.

I've missed two home games since 1997. The first was the last game of the year in 1997, the other was the South Florida game in 2001. However, I did sit at a sports bar in 2001 and have them put the NT/SF game on.

If more than 10 people on this board claim they made it to the last home game I'm going to call BS.

THREE.

I was there, got soaked, and witnessed history. Best game of the season.

Every home game starting with 2002 season, including in the rain at the mtsu game last year.

GMG!

8, I missed the FIU game in 2010 because my family had a big party for my sisters birthday... I remember this specifically because my friend texted me in the middle of the game that they had finally called the fake punt he had been asking for over the previous 3 years... I laughed at the thought of anyone brave enough to attempt to bring down Craig Robertson

I've been to every home game since 1990. Not sure how many that is.

I've seen a lot of bad football in those years. A few bright spots along the way.

Hoping for a great year again this year.

I'm sure that there were more than ten if you count the club level and those that stayed under the press box side overhang but you're probably right about the ten who sat in the open. Unfortunately, I was one of those ten.

The rain during last years mtsu game had nothing on the suck factor that was the wku sleet and rain fest a few years back. I stood with two buddies on the deck at Fouts for the entire game. So cold and wet I didn't even enjoy drinking beer. Not one of them. And I really enjoy drinking beer.

Caught 4 games in the Johnny Quinn era. I missed 2 my freshman year due to a girlfriend being in high school (I know what was I thinking), all games sophomore, and junior years except the MTSU game. I will be making all the games this year, except for the homecoming game, which Texas Motor Speedway (my job) will not let me miss with nascar being in town that weekend.
