Whats up with 47K for homecoming on a perfect fall day for football? Was that an abberation or are the "faithful" throwing in the towel already?

no one gives a damn about homecoming. It's just another game against a bad team. Homecoming is always one of the smaller crowds of the year. I'm sure next weekend will have a good crowd.

Are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.

If those are the real reason then might I suggest some Vagisil for some of your fans. That is as bad as State fans using hunting season as an excuse.

like myself, and back to back weekends simply aren't possible. It's a non conference game, those simply are always more sparsely attended. I wish we had more but people are disappointed, and it was a crappy team.

And I wouldnt call it a beautiful day either. I worked out in it Saturday and I would not categorize it as nice. First real cold day of fall up here which makes it feel even worse.

We have home games scheduled for 3 straight weeks: Bama, UAB, and Arkansas. For the fans that have to travel any distance, especially those with children, 3 straight weekends is a pretty tall task. If you are going to skip one of the 3, it's probably gonna be UAB.

We play 6 out of 7 weeks at home. The UAB and UNA game attendances are/were going to take a hit because of that. I thought we'd still top the 50k mark, but it is what it is.

Some people do have lives outside of their college football team. For instance, I have a ton of stuff I've been needing to do around my house, and the weekends are my only time to get it done. I chose to go to Bama and Arkansas but skip UAB so I wouldn't have to wait 2 months before having an open weekend. I guess that makes me a bad Rebel.

If we were 5-0 coming into the UAB game, I'd have done the same thing.
