I think announced attendance will be 32,000 or so, with actual attendance closer to 27,000. Keep in mind that last season's FAMU game had an announced attendance of 30,434 and, outside of FAMU, we topped out at 28,400 versus a ranked Temple squad. FAMU brings more fans to the table than Towson, so other than a few hundred Towson alums we will be counting entirely on USF fans. 

I don't think weather will be much of an issue. The storm's movement is expected to accelerate quickly and it will be far out of the area by Saturday evening. I figure we will see a typical late summer Florida day.

If we can't stop using the actual attendance figure, which is totally irrelevant, how can we expect our beat writer to stop being fixated on it?

Because it will continued to be used regardless of whether or not we use the figure. I think it does matter how many people are actually showing up to the games versus tickets distributed. It is one way that we can gauge the overall fan interest in our team. If 30% of season ticket holders aren't showing up to our games, something is wrong.

First, why do WE need to gauge the overall fan interest in our team? Second, if someone spent money on a ticket, that was interest. Third, the actual figures don't delineate season tix from any others so you can't tell who it is that's not showing up. There is no rational reason for publicizing something that 99% of the other programs don't have to and doesn't really gauge anything.......

This ^^^^  Heck even Nick Saban came out and scolded Alabama fans for not showing up t games and leaving gams early last year. So it isn't just USF. Alabama had a sell out with a third of their stadium empty. Then when the fans started to leave early, Saban went off. It isn't just UF but, we're the ones constantly being called out for it. Why? Because the media loves us soooo.

Thank you. There is no other fan base that actually uses that number.  It's so stupid.
