This week's top attended SBC home games, with home teams in bold:

Louisiana 31, Troy 17 - 29,775
WKU 36, MTSU 33 - 23,307
Arkansas State 24, ULM 19 - 15,027
North Texas 31, FAU 17 - 13,142

Average Attendance so far this year:

Arkansas State - 28,895
Louisiana - 28,285
Middle Tennessee - 24,636
North Texas - 20,799
ULM - 20,780
FIU - 19,309
Troy - 19,114
WKU - 17,653
FAU - N/A

That is an embarassing attendance number for NT, but at least we won. For what it's worth, it was a "perfect storm" of factors that led to the poor attendance. The rainy weather did not help either.

One of Loser Tech's least intelligent posters started a thread on their board about your attendance for that game . . noting it as a reason for Loser Tech to stay away from the SBC . . as if the SBC wants them . .

Having an average attendance, across the conference, of over 19,000 is great. Glad to see that - hopefully FAU has big crowds through the rest of the year to keep the streak going. And to think that NCAA Football 12 seems to believe our attendance in the SBC is around 6,000 a game... Regardless, fan support is on the rise, it seems.

Tech will have the same problems when so many sporting and musical events come to Rust-On. Let's see, Texas - OU weekend, the Texas Rangers, some rock queen concert, bad weather rolling in, etc. Not excuse for UNT's poor attendance, but it was the perfect attendance storm.

OK. That is why I love the MUTS so much.

29,775 is also good enough for a conference record. Until next week.

ULL will always be Louisiana in my book from now on. That's a school that knows how to have a football game. The stadium was packed, the fans never sat down, they cheered the entire time, and no one left after halftime! (None of those things happen in Troy... *cough cough*)

Congrats on the win Louisiana! You beat our team and showed this Trojan Fan what a true college gameday atmosphere should be like. The Pride of Acadiana was very impressive! They're much improved from when I saw them in 2009. Good luck in the remaining games of the season!

Oh and despite Louisiana having the WORST student section ever your adult fans were great. Not one person said anything rude to us and every fan I walked by thanked the Sound of the South for coming.

Thanks for the props. Sorry you had trouble with the students...

Hope you had a safe trip back.. Hope your tuba player is recuperating???

I will predict that last nights attendance will be our lowest of the season.

Between the Texas/OU game, the Rangers playoff game, the State Fair, the weather, and last weeks performance that inflamed many UNT fans, last nights attendance was to be expected.

If we can pull out a win in Lafayette, and return home riding a two game winning streak, and a two game home winning streak, we will be back over 20,000.

Homecoming will get well over 20k no matter what happens against Lafayette.

LaTech played conference mate Idaho last for Idaho's HC before 15,903. And they have the nerve to condemn the SBC. Tech's arrogance is astounding.

Thanks troy4Ever21! I love to pick on band threads, but the Sound of the South is one of the best college bands I've heard at any game. Our band could learn a few things about what a band means to the game atmosphere. The game was very physical and we knew Troy would not lay down at any time last night. I heard Blakeney screaming at his team after the game, he clearly expected to win. I look forward to the day our program expects to win every game they play in the SBC. Good luck to you guys the rest of the season.

BTW, what is the latest on the young man that went down on the sideline? That was a scary sight and one of the police to us it was heart related? I hope everything is well with him.

Way to go Sun Belt, I wish our schools could get 29k on an average for home games.
Will probably only have 3 schools average above 20k in our conference (Temple, Toledo, WMU), so keep up the good work!

Haha, I am upset that we didn't pull it out, but it was a well played game on the part of WKU. We didn't play how we should have. =)
