As Gary Danielson said about Neyland, 80,000 or 100,000, it doesn't matter!
Crowd size is one thing, intimidation is another story.

Don't see us standing a chance in this game.

As bad as they were last year, we let them hang around at WB.

If Beamer is going to replicate last year's miraculous revival, the next 2 weeks would be a good place to start.
On the road no less would make some real noise!

He's shown a knack in his first 2 season for pulling unexpected wins out of his fanny. Our only hope is for that to continue.

If Jimbo loses to us his hiney will be an unquenchable hell fire. TAMU will have to sell their basketball arena to pay his buyout.
They have plenty of boosters who have enough money in their petty cash drawers to buy him out.

The bigger stadiums are impressive, but in the largest stadiums, between a third and a half of the people aren't that close to the field. Having a closed-end stadium matters, but fan proximity to the field matters more. That's why the steeper the better and not having a track matters.

The Swamp combines these elements the best I've seen. Even the bench areas are hard up against the fans. I love it. Ohio State took out their track, lowered their field several feet, and added some lower rows with good views which were naturally close to the field.

Others have followed suit. We need to do the same thing, except we don't need to add much seating in the lower part of the East Side. Those people already have a bad enough view. Anything we do over there needs to account for that.
