Looks like a good spot to point out that there isn't anything wrong with our attendance ...

For our conference we are better than fine.

CFB attendance is on a downward trend that likely won't reverse anytime soon.

Unless you've got proof USF fans buy but don't go to games at a higher rate than other programs, you're just fishing for something to complain about.

Not to hard to prove. How many people bought tickets minus how many people attended. Pretty obvious there is a deficit...No friggin way we had 38k at every home game last year.

Really? If they don’t show up they don’t care. Empty seats on tv further exacerbates this belief.

I don't doubt people buy tickets and don't go to games, but to say this is a USF problem is ridiculous.

Oh got it. Yes, I completely agree this is not just a USF problem. Even the well known teams in the sec are having their problems...especially with student attendance.

Lots of reasons for not showing up besides not caring. **** exacerbating what anybody else believes. Those attendance figures are the ones that everybody in the country is measured by.

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
