This is a process. I just hope we can keep our coach around to keep the momentum up.

Fuentes is the real deal

wish we could have had some of those folks who were criticized for doing the wave earlier in the season at tonight's game

Absolutely. He even has me watching FB. If you would have told me a few years ago that I would become a FB fan, I'd laugh. Never liked the game in all these years until a few years ago.

OUCH!

Our crowd was still 5,000 more than any other AAC team that played this week.

Most left after the 3rd quarter.

wonder what it will take to fill it up and have people stay?

This is horrible of our fans. Real programs have fans that stay until the final horn if they are winning. These fans have been sitting on their hands most of the game & now are leaving early. This is supposed to be a party. Wth?

Need Saban to chew them out about that.

At halftime I heard "I've never been to a Memphis football game in November and had to wait in line to pee...." It was a decent crowd.

I noticed a lot of little future tiger fans there - more than I remember in other games. I know of several families that left after the half because the young'uns were tuckered out

Congrats to the tigers.

I got to say this though. The attendance is what it is. We were at the bottom for too long and also we have lost a lot of fans over the years for a couple reasons. For those who did come, we did a good job making some noise.

Here's my issue though.

We are 8-3. Yes, i know it was getting cool outside, but next week can all of you fans going to the game stay at the game until the clock says 0:00? Tonight, there was less than 5k left. The last game there was probably less than 2k. PLEASE at the next game, celebrate the win with the tigers. Those kids are doing something great this year, they really deserve it.

Why do you think Fuente and Bowen were begging people to come to the game. The Big 12 might be watching. If Fuente can't get better fan support than what showed up tonight than he will take the first best offer and leave and I would not blame him.

Had a couple tickets but I ended up not going due to a last minute emergency at the house... Stadium looks empty... Damn Memphis folks, don't support the football program even when it's winning.

Memphis just has a big segment of population who are not going to go to Memphis Tiger football games unless tickets are $5 or free. It's always been that way, don't know why.

There was a good home crowd there - looked worse on TV than it was.

Still folks should be getting out there. The culture of the football team is bad, it will take a season or two.

We got terrible spots today. Hayes was right in front of me he was tackled at the 21. It was moved back to the 20. The guy always put the ball on the yard marker too.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. Officiating today was pretty poor across the board.

Don't worry about attendance at this point, just keep winning. Next year if we go on a long winning streak, then we can talk about attendance.
