For FIU? Pretty much...

No Joke, in the crappy CAA, every environment is far better than that. Even Maine has a couple thousand late in November.


Never watched an FIU game and couldn’t believe the crowd. Also, the announcers suck.

It's been always like this.... no joke but wait and see how few of them will come here and defend their attendance.
Any school with 58K + students and an alumni larger than 270k should not go through that. Their culture is different and the college experience is not there.

The announcers were bad at one time during the game the play-by-play guy was singing a song off key.

clt says the announcers referred to Matt Healy a few times

Attendance?

I don't think FIU has or will release attendance this year.

They aren’t

Charlotte had about 200-250 fans there and I feel like we were far off from the FIU fans.

At halftime it looked like the stands were emptying with fans rushing the field. Then I realized it was just the band.

clt says this attendance mystery has to be solved

Honestly if he got CUSA Offensive Player of the Week over Reynolds (both had 4 TDs) I'd be hard pressed to be angry about it. He nearly had 500 yards in the air, of course Chambers counted for two of his TDs and 201 of those yards.

I don't understand the lack of fans though. You guys need to start giving away free beer or something. 55k students and maybe 500 were there. That just hurts to see on the screen. That team deserves better support.

As for us, damn I do not know how we won this one. Our pass D in this game was replacing our usually bad run D? Can't have both do medium or better at the same time?

We gave up 13 points in the first 47 minutes. That put us in a situation to not only win the game but not left FIU get within two score the whole 2nd half. The defense had some lapses late, but the business they handled early allowed for some hiccups late.
