GTG!!

Get Emmanuel Cooper(DL) back for UConn and maybe even O’Bryan Goodson(DL) and Tito Windham(DB). And Sam Craft.


Still no Jackson Dillon(LB) and La’Andre Thomas(DB).


Been playing very short handed last couple of games. With Keith Brown out for season and Jacoby Hill leaving.

Yep, it is pretty clear that we are missing much talent of the D side.

it could really be worse

AT Louisville.....

GA Tech 66
Louisville 24

F Louisville.

The defense will make Uconn look like the 2018-19 Kansas City Chiefs.

Can I get a crowd prediction

Word on the street says 40,382.

My weather app shows a clear sky and 83 degrees by kick-off. It is great football weather.

The UConn guy on the Wolo show said they’ve been starting 11 freshmen and 8 sophomores. The starter with the most experience had played in 18 games.

40K would be awesome, but I'm thinking more like 35K

40K would be awesome, but I'm thinking more like 35K

I would say 22k but since the weather will be close to perfect, I will throw in an extra 5k so total of 27k

Don't forget the cheapest ticket is $30. The demand just isn't there yet. Add to it the loss to Tulane and you're looking at a recipe for another 30k game.

Memtigbb u r probably correct. Plus this weather thing could be tricky for Memphians, 83 could be considered
To warm and there could be some sec games on t.v.that r a must see.
Then there could be another event in town that peeps need to attend and we all know multi tasking ain't easy

Weather hasn't been a week-long threat to diminish attendance. It's homecoming. Opening conference game. I'll say 42k.

not if you're one of our 20,000 students here on Homecoming...

$30, wow! You're right, no demand to support that.

Uninspiring opponent, even though it is a conference game. Nobody cares about the conference anyway, but we already have 2 conf. losses, so we're not playing for anything. Coming off the uninspiring, to put it very mildly, loss to Tulane, it might not draw 30k.

Henderson might run for 500 though, so maybe people will want to witness his performance.
