OH MY! You are a new one aren't you? Lets see, FSU game was 55k? something like that? I'm guessing ECU, because of homecoming, 20k? maybe 25K? Honestly I hope you are right and I am wrong, and there could be the Buccaneer effect to put more butts in seats, but, you know, past behavior is best predictor of future behavior and all that.

FSU was 61K. Last year's homecoming was Syracuse, @ 3:30, and had 27K. Even though it's a noon game. would hope to get 30-35K, but no clue if we will or not.

I will again point to the number of fans at the Notre Dame and Auburn games (and pretty much any big time program that loses to anyone at home) and wonder how much effect on the game the fans have.  Way overrated IMO.  We could fill up RayJay to the brim with Bulls fans and still get rolled by pretty much anyone in the top 10 this year.  

Edit: Every team uses signals from the bench and silent counts at the LOS.  Teams have adapted.

I was at the Notre Dame game.  I hope we set up our stadium like theirs.  The seats were almost vertical and it was very claustrophobic.

They did not have a lot of reasons to yell and scream but I recall after one big play on their side the place erupted.  I imagine it could be really intimidating in a game where the fans are involved.

I try to scream whenever our defense is on the field because it makes it harder for the offense to hear.  At least that is the plan.  I thought WVU used complain on how loud it got in the big games we played them.

I sold my tickets, I'll watch on TV. I'll show up for FSU and sweat my ass off, not for ECU.

It won't be that hot this Saturday.  You should have sold your tickets for FSU and kept your tickets for ECU.

B - I am flying in and will sweat my ass off for USF, not for ECU.

This is a really nice, concise illustration of the problem we have building a fan base. Need tons more from column B to make up for column A ..
