Hard to tell.
No, it's very easy. There are about half a dozen posters who only ever show up on this board after a loss, and they were not posting.
Elementary, my dear Watson.

Maybe after umpteen years, they should fix All-Access so that it actually, you know, works?

RE: The game yesterday
It also was frustrating at the game because I was attempting to listen to the radio broadcast while at the game & the delay from the live plays was so bad I couldn't listen.

I can't speak for them, but I was insulted by our attendance. But, alas, I will continue to show up (Lord willing), and "play my part."
Some of you are too upset over the double kickoff thing. Was it dumb and arrogant? Probably. Could it have been costly and embarrassing? If we had lost in a close game, yes. Did it matter ultimately? No. Will we do it again? I doubt it.
Just win.
By the way, how distant is the memory of that USM game with 44,000+? Incredibly, that was a record crowd for C-USA home attendance at the time.

RE: The game yesterday
Yeah, the attendance is something I just don't see how to fix in our current situation. Since I was a student back in 2006 to now it feels like I've seen it drop off a little bit every year up to this point. With only 4 homes game left, I think the FAU (*HC) and USM games might be decent crowds (in relative terms ), though I don't know with how USM's past season went. Hopefully, MTSU travels well and people in our area care about that game. Rice will probably for sure be a low attendance game, unless the season picks up. It's just not looking good right now since the past couple of years we always had at least one game where we broke 25 to 28k in attendance (and it helped our yearly average even when we had some down attendance games) and this year I just don't see a game like that on the home schedule unless we start winning a lot of games. Hell, in 2006 we had crowds like:
36,104
32,818
23,116
20,644
and only a few crowds under 20k
While this year I just hope we have at least one game that breaks 20k. And sorry for harping on the attendance thing since I'm sure everyone on this board knows how it is, but it is just a really sad situation to think about and I hope it ends up getting fixed.
I will say this, the parking and concession staff were surprisingly incredibly nice this game moreso then I have ever been used to. It was pretty refreshing.

Only people that need to show up is the team.
I hope they show up to play the rest of the season and get bowl-bound.

I agree with you that it was an insult to Northwestern State. There is no reason to do that to your opponent.
They were probably more insulted by the 52 we scored. How dare we?

Losing that game only crossed my mind once prior to the start, the rammifications of it and all, but it quickly went by the wayside after arriving that "Lesion" Field. I'm with you on the attendance issue, the weather was bad, but not a legitimate excuse for not being there, IMO, had they come into that game at least 2-1(losing that game to Troy in the manner in which it happened may have reinforced the discontent), who knows? Maybe they reach their average. Will a nice winning streak and being on the cusp of a conference title diminish the level of local apathy as it relates to UAB football? Wonder what the excuses will be if this occurs? Can't wait to find out...#SeasonTicketHolder
