I think they are growing weary of such games, especially so this year if they tend to be bland on Offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several UF Alum friends have just commented to me that they hate the multiple early season cup cake opponents. Most of them own RV's and they are required to attend a certain umber of games with the RV to keep their parking priority, so they hate going to terrible games, having to bring the RV, as if it were going to be a decent game. It became especially painful, when they lost to a few cupcakes. Last years gain is noted here: http://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/college-football-attendance-drops-for-fifth-straight-year-but-at-slower-rate/ A student attendance article: http://www.gatorsports.com/article/20140224/ARTICLES/140229825 https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2014/09/11/colleges-worry-about-future-football-fans-student-attendance-declines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are freaking posers ..... College football is all about the tailgating and if the game is a good one, icing on the cake. They must not know what the hell they're doing when it comes to tailgating and should have their RV's repossessed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double-wides aren't really meant to be moved around and I certainly don't think they count as RVs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
