Predict Announced Attendance Saturday

[BullsFanInTX]

First off, stop feeding the beast perpetrated by our local beat writer and going by so called actual attendance, when literally not one of the other 128 FBS teams goes by actual, they use announced.  With that said, I predict there will be an announced attendance of about 38,000 on Saturday for the largest crowd of the year, a probably the last couple years.

We have never had an announced crowd that low, I don't believe.

Memphis and SMU had to be close.

Memphis and SMU had to be close.

I take that back, Memphis was around 22.5, which was one of our smallest announced crowds ever going all the way back.  SMU was 24 and change.  So basically by predicting 23, you're predicting that we'll have one of our smallest announced crowds in our history.

Edit:  I went back and checked old attendance numbers back all the way to 1997 and the Memphis game was probably one of the 5 smallest crowds we've ever had, even going back to 1AA, Independent, and CUSA days.  Believe the all time smallest was 21K and change.

I say it's in the 30K range. Late game on a Saturday night with some "cooler" weather. The fans start to find their way out from underneath the rocks and support.

36k Announced

The stadium holds 41,441.... so anyone saying more than that is way off.

I will say announced crowd will be 26,000... but butts in seats less than 20k.

USF has been so bad for so long, people stopped planning their weekends around USF games... it's a matter of convenience now.  So there are a lot of people who might have gone to this game, if they didn't have other plans.

So I suspect many people here - as well as Harlan and Taggart - will be disappointed in the turnout.
