Jamie Posted July 24, 2007 Group: Member Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 3,307 Reputation: 12 Days Won: 1 Joined: 01/26/2002 Share Posted July 24, 2007 The fact that USF, as most places, reported paid attendance as opposed to "butts in seats" is not at issue. We have done that and said that was the way we did it. Some of those east of here have said/typed some pretty denigrating things about our attendance and been pretty obnoxious about the "fact" that they only reported "butts in seats". But for the constant harping by the easterners this would not be a big issue even now.I also doubt USF ever padded their numbers by 167%, like UCiF did for their UAB game last year. They reported something like 22K and only 8,888 showed up.The big thing is that UCiF went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about this and swore up and down they never did it. Now they've been caught. They're like a politician running on a family-values agenda, and then we find out they're having an affair or buying hookers.

No shot at you or anyone else.It's no big deal. I was trying not to stay away from making this about UCF (see, "...no more UCF threads" on my first post). I guessed I phrased it all wrong. I didn't know how we counted seats, so I wondered if we did the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most of college football has reported tickets distributed as official attendance for years, like we have always done, but the actual, turnstile attendance has always been out there ....

Sheesh... I know not every ticket holder has to show up... but, come on.My theory is that they wanted to beat the Ray Jay game attendance so bad that they made up 8.5k people.

Or, they post said stats to every message board known to man. Or, they bring it up in threads that have absolutely nothing to do with attendance, are completely silent. Hmmmmm.
