I agree.. however.. 25K is still way low. Low-level non-AQ teams have no problem filling up for a weeknight game.

Sorry, I need to call ******** on that ...

Agree - didn't you see that massive crowd of hundreds of people watching Ark State and MTSU?

Watch some thursday night games with some of the Non-AQ teams/conferences and see for yourself. I don't have any examples in front of me, but i've seen plenty.

And I didn't say EVERY SINGLE lower-level game, Come on guys.

thursday nights are pretty much all BCS games now. last year there was  a game at ECU but that was against virginia tech and this year Hawaii hosted a game and that was against USC. those were the only 2 non-AQ home games on thursday nights but they both had BCS opponents.

non AQ teams might pack theirs a bit better because they have smaller stadiums to fill more often than not, and it might be the only time they're on TV all year, and people may come out for that (but not always).

Eh, I didn't care about the lack of crowd. Those of us who were there were finally loud in the 2nd half when it counted. Most impressive crowd all year in terms of noise.

So there were 14,000 no shows.  35% of the people who had tickets did not use them.  With all the corporate sponsors and donors, I'm not sure this will ever change.  Same thing for basketball - the first level non-student sections are never more than 2/3 full.

Well, unfortunately you're right.  So much for the excuse Tampa Bay Ray fans use for not driving to the game.  They always say if the games were in Tampa, they would go.  Well football is once a week and they won't go to a game.  Well unless we are in the top 10, than you and I will be driving that band wagon *gitty gitty goo*

A game between a 4-3 Rutgers team and a 4-3 USF team on a rainy Saturday night in Tampa isn't going to draw significantly more than one on a Wednesday night.  So we schedule one Wednesday night game in the history of the program.  If this becomes a trend then fine, complain all you want, but there's no reason to believe it will.  Just win Skip.

The Rays for the past three years have been one of the best teams in baseball. The Bulls for the past three years have been one of the best teams in the bottom third of their conference. Not comparable.

If the Rays moved to Tampa, but put a mediocre team on the field, they wouldn't sell out games either. Just like any sports team in any city.

    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.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
