I believe we report actual attendance, not tickets sold.
The good: Mississippi State (1) was the lone school to list a capacity crowd, putting 55,082 in Davis-Wade Stadium to see the Bulldogs maul Jackson State 56-9. Though Dash spies say that's a tickets sold number and there were empty seats.
The bad: Mississippi (2) had 10,000 empty seats for the debut of new coach Hugh Freeze. While putting a capacity 60,580 in the stands for Central Arkansas might be expecting too much, the Rebels still were down nearly 11 percent from opening attendance in 2011. Presumptive whiny fan excuse: After two terrible seasons, we'll wait and see. Dash response: Ole Miss fans are all tailgate, no toughness.
