The whole world is going to see that Middle Tennessee alumni and the community have given up on the Rick Stockstill era.

Is it that bad already outside the stadium? :(

Or are you just hypothesizing. (Not that you're wrong lol)

I'm seeing reports on Twitter and other places and TIBL is not exaggerating. I openly admit I'm not going. It is my wife's birthday but that is not the reason. I've given up.

I figured it would be bad. I attended my one game of the year against Vandy and things have just collapsed since then. It will be such an embarrassment to see an empty stadium tonight...

We should have scheduled a Silver Out. It would have looked better. We might see a lot of dropped passes tonight by players being blinded by lights reflecting off bleachers.

This team could be sitting at 7-0 right now and there'd be nobody there. Which genius okayed a Friday night game on the week of fall break?

Maybe the same one who gave Rick Stockstill his current contract? Or CUSA people.

Here's tonight's attendance

During fall break sucks, but I'd be perfectly fine otherwise with a Friday night game if it got us on ESPN2 like this one. Wondering when the last time we got on ESPN/2 at home was...

Oh well, I'll be watching!

So then can I expect to never hear about Florida Atlantic or FIU attendance ever again? Our schools have been awful for 3 years in a row.

Tonight will be terrible but the optics will make a big statement about the apathy that has hit this program. The rest of C-USA will see it tonight.

There was a time not long ago, my group would bring 30. None of us are going. I gave up on Rick along time ago.

Marshall might have more people there than the Raiders tonight.

Yeah, UAB was straight up awful for 10 years and we caught crap all the time for attendance for 2 or 3 win seasons. Some teams in this league don't show up when they have a single down year of .500 (something UAB fans would've killed for at the time). Kinda makes you wonder, but I guess it is all about perspective

Those 9th year QBs are hard to come by - just ask Houston.

HAHAHA -- color announcer: "Stockstill has done a great job in Murfreesboro." Mack Brown: " "

ESPN apparently doing a great job with the camera angles.

Yes, they are not showing the empty stadium lol

I took this pic in the first quarter after the first two series and scores.
