It's funny how this old saw won't die. The fact of the matter is, Tiger fans do show up. Our attendance for G5 and our conference are quite good.
I don't wish to argue but what I saw today was pathetic . The people of Memphis always complain about what we deserve but are not willing to jack sh!t to earn it. We will forever be where we are until we prove it. Half a$$ will get us nothing. If you are not willing to show up and support your team loudly you will wind with the crap we had with Porter again . I am so tired of all the excuses and waning support. Maybe the bb only people are right we will never be anything in football.

Agreed - I think we lose sight of it b/c we're right in the middle of SEC country, but comparatively speaking, we do very well. Heck, Cinci was really pushing the fact that they broke 40K last Thursday.

I don't want to argue either, and I totally understand where you are coming from. I just honestly think our attendance for the teams we get to play is not that bad. Here's a perfect example. Vandy played at Georgia Tech today- they drew about 41k. We had about 34k. All things considered, that's not that bad. It's not like Kansas helped our attendance at all.

I think the program has turned the corner, start supporting these young men by filling the stadium, who knows the ACC could give us an invite when ECU gets their's. The train is on the track, now let's ROLL

I think it is a pretty good bet that we will get in the ACC at the same time as ECU
