let's not try to be too condescending or dishonest. below is the top 25 home attendance records from 2008. the first column is # of home games, 2nd column is total attendance, and last column is average home attendance. Its too bad that we don't have a bigger baseball seating area or i think our numbers would be higher. Its also too bad that visiting conference teams don't travel more. You get to enjoy that luxury. You will notice however we have better attendance that quite a few sec schools. You have a great following and a nice baseball stadium but don't act like we only have 20 people come to our baseball games. Don't flatter yourself either to think that we only filled up our stadium when you came to town either.

No one cares how you rank nationally in attendance. Ya'll still rank third in the state and thus remain the red-headed step-child.

3rd in the state according to whom? and by what standards? this has nothing to do with college football.

YOU.

NO ****

 

[lawdawg02]

just curious. some schools use paid attendance, which isn't the same. i know lsu used to, and may still. we used to not use paid attendance, but i don't know about now.

NO ****[/quote]oh so we are the red-headed step child because of attendance? Please let me again remind you that your great attendance numbers come from the fact of just being in a better traveled and more followed conference. I wasnt implying we are or are not 3rd in state based on attendance numbers but i got the funny feeling that he wasn't referring to just attendance number but opinions skewed by his own mind. My attendance link was just to erradicate the misinformed or dishonesty about our fans that is constantly spread on this board.

Besides it doesnt look like attendance numbers got you into a regional this year and the other 2 state schools did get in, so i guess that makes MSU 3rd in the state this year.

Or actually its called "tickets distributed" because it inclues scout passes, students who get on ID cards, high school coaches passes, etc

Yea, if only USM could match that great success MSU has experienced this year in baseball. All USM can do is hope and pray that they can match that juggernaut team in Strarkville. MSU has the only fan base that thinks they are winners when they actually still suck. I love it.

 

[someonestolemyusernamedamnit]

But, your stadium is a shitbox. Your fans are a joke. Regardless of State's recent troubles, you're still the red-headed stepchild of this state. This will only get worse with Corky hanging it up and State rebuilding their program. The USM grads I work with wouldn't even know you played a baseball game last night if it weren't above the fold on the front page of the sports section. And, that list has to be paid attendance because there is no way in hell you averaged more than 3,000 a game in actual attendance. All that aside, congrats to Corky's fat *** for getting to the Supers in his final season, seriously.

USM counts paid attendance. And it's obvious that their tickets are buy one, get 34 free. Each of their fans bought one season ticket, hence the attendance numbers.

 

[ckDOG]

Attendance smack against us? Really?

Leave now and work on incorporating Regionalchampburg, MS. Congrats.

Buy 1 + 34 Free = 35 Tickets
With their 10 fans that equals 350 paid attendance....shouldnt it be more like

Buy 1 Get 340 Free ?

[usmsci]

But, your stadium is a shitbox. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Only your opinion. Yeah its not the best, count your lucky stars for all the SEC money rolling in and not having to cut back on renovations because of unpredictable weather.</span>

Your fans are a joke. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Please explain and fill us with your infinite wisdom as to why this is fact.</span>

Regardless of State's recent troubles, you're still the red-headed stepchild of this state. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Yeah? Why is that?</span>

This will only get worse with Corky hanging it up and State rebuilding their program. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Pure Conjecture. The Atlanta regional MVP by the way was a USM Freshman. We have many like him ready to play next year. Maybe that will make you feel better though about your team staying home this season.</span>

The USM grads I work with wouldn't even know you played a baseball game last night if it weren't above the fold on the front page of the sports section. <span style="font-weight: bold;">How would you know? Did you ask them? I am sure i could find many MSU grads that don't follow MSU athletics either, even if your statement were true so that's not much to go on.</span>

And, that list has to be paid attendance because there is no way in hell you averaged more than 3,000 a game in actual attendance. <span style="font-weight: bold;">How would you know? did you go to every home game?</span>

All that aside, congrats to Corky's fat *** for getting to the Supers in his final season, seriously. - <span style="font-weight: bold;">Thank you for your kindness and granting all of us here with your infinite wisdom and knowledge of USM Athletics and your hateful, almost envious sounding rhetoric. Maybe you and polk ought to hang out and talk about the good old days. Sounds like you two might get along just fine.</span>
