Next Level...I just want to know what the crap that means. I don't expect us to have a crowd like MSU or USC has, there's just nothing difficult about setting a stage to have the mentality that a bigger program has. If you do things the way you've always done them, you'll always have the same results.And...I was quite pleased with the attendance, particularly with no significant media coverage from the Trib leading into the game.

I'm not sure where he got 1,500... maybe he got there late in the 4th quarter after alot of people had already gone home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The count was generated by counting the actual tickets and I have to wonder if there are some missing bags.  After all this is Florida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I think UCF only had 2 crowds in that 1,500-2,000 range--when Culpepper was here.KLSo......how many fans did UCF have at it's spring game?

I thought it would come in at least 5,000. Folks around me were talking about how surprised they were at such a good turnout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Actually Mr. Wollard who brought it up. I dont know what steps if any have been made to make this happen. Its just up to the marketing dept to make it happen.

I was there and the 3800 sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
