    Give them a break from what? No one was criticizing them. Least of all, me.

    Your comments, I believe, were taken out of context. And then....some start talking about our fans and saying no one showed last night. I've got a theory, some older fans need new glasses, and maybe the reason they didn't think it was packed is because so many of the fans there last night were young children...like mine. They just didn't take up as much room as all of the normal fat guys. :hihi:

    The 92,407 were the tickets sold. Not the number of people who actually showed up. Dandy Don said it was about 80% full, and the radio announcers put it at about 75,000. Either way, it was not close to being full.

    I disagree. Besides the normal empty seats in the northeast end zone, it looked pretty full to me (I'm in the southeast end zone). Either way....they need to do a better job of tracking how many people show up. Just reporting ticket sales is worthless.

    Well, if I jumped the gun, then I'm sorry... But after MSU it was everyone coming out of the freak'n woodwork, calling the offense, "vanilla", "lackluster", etc.

    So, yes, I "jumped on my high horse" because for someone that SAID they didn't see the game, yet ask if it was "lackluster", is absurd. I know damn well you knew the final score and ANYTIME you WIN 44-0, I SERIOUSLY doubt you can honestly call it "lackluster".

    I'm sick of hearing about our "lackluster" and "vanilla" offense when we're putting up 45+ points a game and ranking nationally for many offensive stats.

    At least I'm not the only one that questioned the word usage...
