Starting early: Alabama @ LSU Thread

You mean Joe Dean Jr? The guy whose dad was AD at LSU for many years? At that point in the game, Bama was beating us thoroughly and he was calling it like he saw it.

 

Good crowd, no? :thumb: Good job fans!

 

I just dont see how you guys dont fill that place. No way I would say good job fans if we only had 10,200 at Coleman. I know that we are both football schools really but seriously, you guys have some talented athletes out there...I can't imagine them not selling out such a game.

 

Here is an article from last month about Bama fans' basketball attendance:

Seems like Bama has the same issues as LSU...... Low turnout in the pre-sec schedule and then they come out to support their team for the sec games if they are playing well.

Oh, but wait, it gets better. Note the attendance for the Bama/Arkansas game just a few days ago:

I don't see how you guys don't fill that place. All that talent Bama has out there.

Then again, I guess it's more fun to hang your hat on filling the arena supporting the #1 gymnastics team.

 

The Memphis game time wasn't announced until 10:30pm the night before the game--a game scheduled to start at 9pm. Hard to make plans to attend a game with less than 24hour notice.

For some reason, we always schedule games on wed nights. This is when lots of people are in church thus not being able to fill the seats. Our attendace on a Wednesday night was about even with your attendance at 2pm on a Saturday.

You know Grad I know you like to be a smart ass and turn everything I say about LSU negative, but I was not bashing your fans or anything. All of you talk about big things for this year but you can barely put 10k in your gym on a Saturday...There, now I am talking crap about you...

 

You're killin me RE, killin me man!!! The laughter!

Saturday January 7, 2006
Attendance: 10434

Considering the poor support in the non-conference games, yes, IT IS "good job fans".....

 

You're not getting the POINT! :dis: I didn't say "wow Bama's attendance is so much better than yours". I'm not happy with the attendance so far at Coleman either. If we sit under 13,500 for the LSU game--no way I will say "good job fans". LSU and Bama are going to compete for the west, that's the only reason why I questioned your fan support on todays game.

Never once did I say that our attendance is better. You people were happy to bring 10,500 to a game on a Saturday, hosting Alabama. If we had 10,500 for the game we host LSU, that would be a complete and utter failure. NO WAY would I say good job fans for that small amount.

Oh and on Feb 4th, you can bring the attendance stat up once again. It wont be below 13,500....

 

RE, I went into Coleman Coliseum over X-Mas. The renovation is really nice. How many does it hold now?

 

I apologize RE, I did not know Bama's fans/attendance were off-limits for criticism.
