that Bama is actually taking advantage of (read: cheating) a loyal fanbase in scheduling lackluster games, since we’ll attend no matter who they play. Now I certainly understand throwing a few cupcakes in there so that it’s not a physically impossible schedule, but at the same time…UTC? Really?

They probably had a lot of no-shows. In fact, I would guess the game was probably at least close to a sell out, but people didn’t show.

will never be Bama, LSU, UF, UT, or UGA for this very reason. Their fans are just not there and they will never get there.

Auburn however could slide down into Ole Miss territory if they are not careful. I think their fans are pretty engergized now that they have a 2 game streak going, and they will be fine this year as they only have Bama left at home.

But if they have a bad year next year, as in 6-6, 7-5 they could see a lot of empty seats. The truth is Auburn has probably overbuilt their stadium based on their real fan base.

…a “the place is half empty” type of scenario, but the bigger the stadium gets, the more the value of the tickets gets driven down and the more empties we’ll see. We always have a lot of empties too for the cupcakes. I wish we would do a “sold” stat and an “actual attendance” stat just so we could see what the numbers are for the sacrificial lambs.
