I guess I just remember when ECU fans were insufferably arrogant and used to claim that ECU's fanbase extended up and down the entire east coast (lol)

And now, I have to listen to ECU fans crap on UCF's 25-0 streak by claiming our schedule sucks, apparently not self aware enough to understand that ECU's football program being a bottom feeder is part of that problem.

This is what it used to look like:

How kind of those NC State fans for filling those 7,000 seats for you.

Are you aware of how college football tickets work?
Do you know what a ticket allocation and an away section is?

Or are you just a pissy little sourpuss that wants to again and again show that yes, ECU uses the announced attendance strategy like everyone else?

Do we want to roll the tape and compare the announced vs. actual attendance for when UCF went 0-12 3 years ago?

Sure go ahead. I love how you choose 0-12 while purposely not recognizing that we've won this conference 4 times, this is our 3rd NY6 bowl game, and 0-12 was a horrible anomaly.

But sure, keep harping on that 0-12 season if it makes you feel better about ECU's relative irrelevance.

I marvel at ECU’s outstanding attendance.

ecu is king of the off season. Cant wait to hear about all the recruits with lots of P5 offers that none of the other schools get.

and the three or four Heisman candidates stacked at QB

Why so many UCF haters for a 3-9 football team? You're going to fall off your horse at some point and go back to empty aluminum seats glistening in the sun like a glorified high school stadium. Of course ECU inflates their numbers, like every other school in America. And yes this year was one of our worse attended in 20+ years probably, what of it? We're down and everyone knows it so what satisfaction do you get for kicking a program when they're down?

Yukon, Tulane, SMU, Tulsa all suck at football and bring little to the conference but people constantly bag on ECU, I don't get it. The hate is real.

Our fans know we suck and don't over-hype the situation at hand.

Wow, apparently your comprehension of the previous comment isn't very sharp. PiratePanther was commenting about UCF fudging the attendance numbers during the 2015 season just 3 years ago. If you guys really had 30,065 at every game I apologize on behalf of all Pirate fans. I didn't realize this is such a sore spot for you.

From this point forward, let it be known to all ECU fans that Knight Time is a warm and sensitive person and shall be treated as such.

Agreed. We need to get UCF in the Big 12 so that y'all can start #winning again.

What else would I harp on? You were a bad team then and we're a bad team now. It's a logical comparison?

And we'll still have the all time lead over you.

It is impressive. They love their Pirates.

AAC Average per game: 28,902

ECU still at #3 despite ourselves. Go Pirates! The rebirth is here.

SMU's is deceiving....Pony buys ~$17k worth of tickets every game to help with announced figures.

Dairy Whip and the other slum businesses he owns has treated him really well....

Half the folks on the Memphis board defend playing FCS at home & yet complain about attendance.

I have no problem opening the season vs an FCS team...normally the home opener draws well on it's own, so that's a good place to put a FCS opponent.

Imagine how many fans we'd have if we were actually really good.

Get the bottom three guys over 20K and UCONN will grow with success and get the top half up a bit and we're doing pretty dang good I'd say.
