Just got a call from my neighbor who is at the game. Sure not 30,000.

that may be a legit number... i don't really know. i drove by just to glance and there was no one on one side... about 2 people in the upper deck on the other, and i couldn't see the lower deck, but if it was full, I could see there being that many people.

My neighbor said the bottom level of one side was completely full.

So, you are gloating that they had 11k+ and fell short of their goal. Uh, WTF do you think our attendance? I say good job to them for getting that many to a spring game. ****, in terms of ratio of avg game attendance to spring game attendance, they wore our *** out.

for baseball games.

Today, I just logged online afterward to see how bad it was.
Morbid curiosity.

Hating what it's become,
Sincerely,

and just finished the biggest fluke of a season we`ve ever had to get to play a CUSA team in a tier three bowl and you`re running spring game attendance smack(because they didn`t make their goal) at a team that we quit playing because they kicked our *** so regularly ? We just had an 8 win season and didn`t have half as many at our spring game as they did ! There needs to be a name for the next step beyond being a sheep and your picture needs to be beside it.

sit on one side of the stadium. the other side consisted of about 10 band members. I wouldn't say the bottom of the one side they let people sit was "full". We had more than plenty of space around us and we sat around the 20 yard line. I heard there were people in the upper deck but did not get to see it. I would sat the 11K is a generous count.

Well, at least they tried. Which is more than State can say. Why do you not even try to have a fun spring game? It is so typical Croom/State.

Did we even have the band at our game? I see even Jackson State did that much.

You've got to establish that strong defensive foundation and not show any of your offense for next fall's opponants to scout. And you shouldn't market it because it's every fan's responsibility to find out when the spring game is and show up.

<sarcasm off>

For those laughing at USM for barely drawing 1/3 of their announced target, consider that they drew twice as many as we did for our spring game and twice as many as we will for an entire series of baseball against the defending SEC champs.

We DID show our offense. And the 0-0 score wasn't because our defense is so dominating (although I do think it will be good).

The shine will wear off. They won't have the firepower to keep people's attention. I saw the highlights on the news last night and this picture from the clarion ledger. A large number did pull out some ugly yellow to come out yesterday. But what does that mean, really? Nothing.

if they beat auburn (assuming they win against ULL) there will be a lot of attention in hattiesburg focused on the football program. the chances of them doing it are slim but it could get interesting for them with that schedule if they do.
