I’m with you but also kind of enjoy the attendance criticisms. It means we’ve fixed a lot of other stuff.So dumb. I will never understand why we are the only team that that gets **** on for this, when we consistently outperform so many big public schools despite being one of the smallest schools in all of D1.
Nebraska will keep touting their sellout streak even though their own fans laugh at how it’s faked because the tickets are all bought up by a couple key boosters to keep the streak going.
Florida brags about attendance in all sports, and is consistently caught lying and no one cares. Game 1 of this year was nowhere near a sellout (was maybe 75-80% full) but they bragged about the attendance being ~1500 over the Swamp’s actual capacity.
FSU just reduced their stadium’s capacity to a size on par with HRS because they weren’t even selling out back when they had their championship season in 2013, let alone in any of the years since. And even in our worst years, FSU doesn’t do that much better than us in attendance, especially when you consider that they are a large public university. And they don’t do better than us every year.
UCF has something like 60K students, and they’ve never once had better attendance than us, even in our down years.
I’m just really over it.
It became a thing to criticize us about because we were kicking the **** out of everyone so it’s all they had
