I think Vandy will outnumber us this weekend. They got so much riding this game its unbelievable.

 

[JacksonDevilDog]

I'm saying 46,500 and change.

Hate to go against the Texas Instruments brand that got me my degrees.... but I gotta disagree. I'm calling 42,762.

 

[jakldawg]

for reasons far too numerous to get into over the 30 seconds I plan on using to respond. Bama didn't "outnumber" us in our own stadium when they've brought in top 10 teams, and there's no way in hell the smallest, most historically insular fanbase in the league will either.

 

[FlabLoser]

...how this factored in. Trade secrets and all.

the power of the bye week amnesia is great--people will be bored and will forget how pissed they are with crooms. As for me, I'll be in the junction sipping on a cocktail. Every warm body we can keep out of davis wade that day is a good thing. Can't wait to see the size of GB's stones this off season.

You think Vandy fans will out number is in Starkville? Riiiiight

 

[Ivehadbetter]

but there is still time to adjust.

From Veazey:

Don't expect Vanderbilt's blossoming football team to spill over into the number of Commodore fans you'll see in town this week. MSU officials estimate about 1,000 black-and-gold wearers will be in the house. Vanderbilt sold 600 tickets - and returned 5,400. Add in players' families, etc., and get that 1,000 number. (I'm told Middle Tennessee State sold more.)

You forgot to factor in:

Hangovers from ThreeSixMafia concert: 1,000
Those in hospital from gun shot wounds, in jail for fighting, abrasions from broken glass, baked out of their mind: -50

WHO RUN IT!!?!?!

It is going to be a clash of cultures in the Hump parking lot tonight.

 

[fishwater99]

Those of you who would rather hang out in a <17>ing forest at 5am with a bunch of dudes rather than goto an SEC football game have serious issues. Don't get me wrong, my best friend falls into that category but it still blows my mind.

Completely agree

FlabLoser emphatically states the calculator is well-capitalized and is without the need of a Federal bailout.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

before the game... I was going to guess 49,999, but that didn't happen.
