Please, football gods, do not let this day be like the final game of a season back in the 90s when the Tigers had a final home game against E Carolina with a possible Liberty Bowl invitation on the line on a beautiful day when the crowd was sparse and flat and the Tigers played without emotion and lost.

Bring it today Tiger fans and Tigers. This is the first step in our quest into football relevance.

If we can't beat UConn, we don't deserve it.

Beat UConn!

I have a good feeling. This team will respond. We have a coach that will have them ready to play.
GTG

BTW, wife wanted me to stay home and help with Christmas lights and not go to the game. Just won that battle and my son and I will be at the game.
Sorry honey, but lights can wait until tomorrow!

I am having to do a lot of running around with 4 relatives here to spend the holidays just to get back home in time to watch on TV. And damn them all once the game starts.

That was a damn dreadful day... I don't see that happening with this "team".

Bearcat fan here, just wanted to stop by and congratulate you on a great season. I can't root for you today but I'm sure you'll smoke UConn. Looking forward to some good football and basketball games in the future.

It will not be that sparse. That was awful in 1994.

Suspect around 35K today...maybe more...which would be I believe at least ten thousand more than that game...although someone can look up the actual boxscore I am sure.

We are heading down in half an hour.

Just drove down southern - folks are already there. Lots of my circle who are casual fans are all going.

30-0. I was there. It was as bad as it sounds.

Today will be different.

20,000 - 25,000 butts in seats . Sad, although it is Thanksgiving weekend.

We'll all soon here the official attendance in the 3rd Q.

Well, not putting a damper on anything, but I'm sure it will be about 34,789.

My son, daughter in law and the 1st grandbaby were in town this week. Going back to Bentonville today. I told him to be on the road at least by noon cause I was going to see the Tigers win a championship...I can see him again at Christmas....

I really thought there were more than 35k there.

It looked like 40K + to me. but I was looking at the game on the computer.
