I volunteer to be a judge in the "sluttiest costume contest for the ladies" if someone could put that together.

If he's pissed, maybe he should go coach another team. As some on here have stated in other threads, Memphis has a core of about 20-30K fans. Anything above that requires good weather, a lack of marquee games on TV, and a winning Tiger team.
I can promise you the people who didn't go could give two $hits if Fuente is pissed. If he doesn't like it, he can go somewhere else. Although I'd caution him it'll be similar problems wherever he ends up next because he's not going to Florida.
He needs to focus on winning first and foremost. Urban Meyer found a way at Bowling Green and Utah. Brian Kelly did it at Central Mich and Cincy. Cutcliffe does it at Duke. Put on the big boy pants, Fuente.
That's the spirit! F*** our coach!
I said "IF HE'S PISSED". As others have noted, we don't know that he is pissed about the attendance. That was speculation on another poster's part.
If he is pissed, then I stand by what I said. If he isn't pissed, then nothing to see here. Carry on.
I saw the look on his face on the jumbotron too, but to me it looked like "if i had family in dallas, they would be in harm's way due to the way the ebola mess was handled and that makes me mad"
I could be wrong, but that's what it looked like to me when he came out of the tunnel

It's going to take a few years of consistent winning to build that type of fanbase. Let's also not forget that we get next to zero attendance help from our opponent's fans....there were maybe 100 Houston fans at the game Saturday night.
We are really blaming Houston fans? Did MTSU bring 14K? And like I said earlier the computer glitch kept a bunch out of that game.
I just realized something....I have a life and you are irritating.
Opinions vary doe
So does common sense and IQ levels doe
Perfect for you as it fits like the proverbial glove.
But don't forget "clueless"!

RE: Attendance guess for Halloween night if we beat SMU in 2 weeks
I predict good weather and with this a good crowd.....
Dear Tiger Fans,
The Memphis Athletics Department has some exciting activities planned for the upcoming home game vs. Tulsa on October 31st and we want to invite you to participate in the fun. In addition to the homecoming celebration and the pre-game concert with Bret Michaels, the Tigers are planning to offer Trick-or-Treating on Tiger Lane prior to kick-off!
We are encouraging all Tiger Lane parking holders to participate by arriving early on game day and bringing wrapped candy to distribute to Trick-or-Treaters. Our marketing department has purchased commemorative Tigers Halloween buckets and glow sticks for our friends on Tiger Lane. Members of the Spirit Squads will distribute the buckets and glow sticks between 4 and 5 PM to any Tiger Lane parking holder who brings candy. The illuminated buckets will be placed in front of your parking spot so that our Trick-or-Treaters can easily identify where to go.
Our athletics marketing staff will operate a check-in booth near the fountain on Tiger Lane where Trick-or-Treaters will receive Memphis-themed Halloween bags and instructions for Trick-or-Treating. Trick-or-Treating will be promoted from 5 to 6:30 PM on Tiger Lane and fans will be allowed to wear costumes and bring candy into the Liberty Bowl for the game (Note: masks can’t be worn when entering the stadium or walking on the interior concourse).
We are looking forward to a great evening and appreciate your support in making this a fun event for Tiger fans of all ages. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Go Tigers!

Same here. That makes two of us, at least.
