If true that looks really bad in light of recent events..

That seems really low for the crowd picture, but maybe I'm just bad at judging.

I don't understand how they came up with that number...unless they were told to.

I was there and it seems very low to me...

Tech had several hundred at a minimum. Oh well.

That number is bs. Also any university president who thinks he needs body guards should resign.

There is a digit missing from that number. Another reason why we need our own stadium.

Watts was their? And with body guards? Shows you that he already knows the outcome.

Nah, honestly that's likely pretty accurate. Even if its not, we probably had no more than 12 or 13k there at the game. Parking lot wasn't even close to as full as it was for the other games I've attended this year. That side specifically probably holds what...30k? It wasn't even half full really. People really seem to hate going to Legion Field in November.

People haven't had a meaningful reason to go to legion field in November in 15 years.

Have you ever played Division 1 Football? Me neither. Our boys aren't playing up to their potential but no reason to dog them.

As we have observed, you can fire a whole coaching staff and hire a whole coaching staff in one season, but you can't fire the 80+ players that quickly. Most of the players out there today were out there last year. It takes SEASONS to remake any college team in the new coach's image. I believe the 5 wins so far reflect how much better this staff is than the two before them. A part of learning to win is learning how to NOT LOSE first, and that is part of a learning process of seasons. Did you notice the mistakes LA Tech made along the way today?.

Last year's team gave up 44 points a game. This one is at 31 a game. We're giving up 100 yards less on defense this year. Gotta give them a little credit, even though our run D did get lit up. Defense actually played pretty decent in the second half. We had multiple opportunities and threw them away on offense.

Do we not trust Vinson enough to get 20 carries? Every time he's rushed for over 100 yards. It beats the heck out of quick screens and jet sweeps.
