Dude, easy on the Haterade. Drink too much of it and you'll grow a tail like that Todor fella.

Officially had over 20k in the house, and the North stands are really for when we have opponents that travel well. UNA, expectedly, travelled like sh!t.

I call B.S. on the 20K+ attendance figure for last weekend's UNA game. Multiple photos posted online clearly show that neither side's stands (Home & Visitors') was completely filled, and there wasn't a large crowd in the North End Zone seating either. I recall the WTAMU v. TSU game when both sides were about 98% full and that attendance was publicly released as 10,691 total fans, and the TAMU-C game when there was reportedly 11,513 in attendance (this included the portable end zone bleachers, mostly filled with the Commerce Band members). It was in Fall 2021 when the home game attendance #s really started getting inflated, falling in line with "Prez Roll Texans" always needing to boost his ego with the biggest, most and bestest crowd figures (i.e. the 16K goal for the Midwestern game, when there clearly was nowhere near that number of fans in the stadium). Just because your student body pays an athletic fee and receives "free" tix to home games, doesn't mean you should count them in the game day attendance and lie about butts in seats. Some of us are paying attention and, indeed have integrity and aren't idiots.

All schools inflate attendance. All. I’ve been to a Rice home where all the fans knew each others first names by halftime and 25k was announced.
Tarleton has done it since before 2021. Get over it. Move on. You hate Hurley. We get it. Please just show us on the doll where he hurt you and be done with it.
