You know what it was a win. For everyone who wants to analyze the attendance - unless you were there - suck it. Great game for Mean Green Nation!! Huge win for the program! Congrats to the players and Mac --- we appreciate you!! GMG!

I remember reading a tweet from the NT Daily Sports guy that it was 15k something.

I'm not worried about attendance.

What did bug me though was how many people left after halftime. You have to be able to retain the people you already have there.

Amazing game though.

I don't know the exact figure but I believe that it was reported to be around 16,000 as our average dropped from 20K to 18K.

A lot of the sturdents did not leave at the half but moved over to the alumni side to be in the shade. The west stands had a lot more people in the second half.

However, without the rally in the last minute of the first half it would have been hard to blame them for leaving It was almost like watching your kid getting beaten toa pulp.

The main reason this bothers me is because it seriously makes me feel bad for the players. No one wants to play in front of a crowd like that, let alone on tv. I think it's pretty defeating for them to come out and see that. That's all. I want better for them, because they deserve it.

But those who were there got fired up and made noise at the end, whether that directly resulted in those two penalties or not, it happened. I wasn't surprised at all by the student turnout given the melting in the sun factor. And, yes, I saw several show up on the west side at the half even though a number did just leave at the half, as predicted.

Regardless of the attendance, that was the most enjoyable game for me that I have attended in a very long time. I am now very excited for my trip to Georgia to hang with some family and a lot of Georgia alums.

Question... Does anyone have a problem when students move to the alumni side? To me it spreads out the crowd, but as long as I have my seat in the 50 I am good. I just know that all the hook games really police the seating. They. Heck constantly from start to finish to make sure people are in their correct seat. Asking 3 or 4 times to see tickets throughout the game. The "workers" who we have never seem to do that. I am just curious about the thoughts on that. I am happy that we gets fans to the game, but should students stay on the student side? Or is it ok to go to paid seats and sit there....

When the heat is a factor as it was yesterday, I would rather see students seek the shade than leave early or not even show up.

That's just not something we can control. I would like to have bigger attendance but that doesn't make me feel bad for the players if it's simply not there. The players themselves know what they're up against especially when choosing to come to a situation that NT is in. Just keep on winning and that tide will turn eventually.

We've had issues with CSC people in the past. Their bosses did not take kindly to how they were treating us. They definitely are more polite the past few years. Not to say they are perfect, but they are 100x better.

I didn't get up there yesterday, but I looked up at my seats on the Club level a couple of times, and it seemed like that was the fullest I have seen the Club stands. Was the Club indoors area busy also?

GMG

Pretty average club level attendance. No big lines for anything.

I was really excited with the atmosphere in the club when we opened Apogee against Houston. Sadly, there hasn't been a game like that since then. I know it was Apogee opening, but it showed what could be if people cared and this team would win consistently.

Hell, Apogee wasn't even sold out that day.

Sorry, off track, but it was pretty standard attendance up there.

The student side was abysmal. Use heat as an excuse once but not again when it's ten degrees cooler. If they can't turn out by the Rice game, then there is a serious problem! I was born in Texas work my ranch in one hundred five degree heat and don't wear short pants like our band.

The Rice game is on Halloween, that game will not be packed

It will be. That's a fact. At least students.

Really why? You don't think the students have parties to go to? Alumni have tough traffic, kiddo parties, and other commitments.

Parties do not start a 6pm when the game does, nor do they start at 9:30 when the game ends. Students will be there.

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Football at The Dat next wrekend

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
