Your post prompted me to turn to that game. It's 31-0 in 4th quarter, so I'm guessing a lot of people have left. We'd be happy to get what's left.

For NW's sake, I hope so. There was not one single person in the stands, and you could see quite a bit of them. Even at Rice, even in the upper tier or the visitor side, you see a few people. It might as well have been the Atacama desert.

I know someone who went to the game. It was double our biggest crowd of the last 5 years...

no way on 2x and I have been to all of those but one last year when I went to renfest instead of the sh_ _ show that rice FB has become

Well I have a picture of a 95% full lower bowl from NW today. When's the last time Rice has actually had 30k in the stadium? Maybe Baylor? Smu in 08 probably.

Hmm-I thought u were talking rice attendance. My retort retracted.

Houston game in 08 was at 35,534. Baylor in 10 only drew 23k+.

"With its 34-10 loss to Temple, East Carolina drops to 4-14 under coach Scottie Montgomery. All but one loss (20-15 to South Carolina in 2016) has been by double digits."

Bet he's fired before Bailiff. Last two seasons, Bailiff is also 4-14....

I'm going to guess that interview was not live. Coaches have more important things to do 25 minutes before a game kicks off. Many interviews like that are not live, in part to give them time to figure out how long the actual package will be.

Maybe, but it was only a minute or two, not a lengthy interview. Just reporting what I saw.
