I assumed that there would be some sort of attendance record announced for 1st SBW in new Dude but haven't heard or seen anything. Does anyone know what attendance numbers were?

I think the crowds were pretty good, but the weather and opponent probably killed any chance of records being brokenQuote:

Why not just allow teams to play 1 game vs another school for a Spring Game?
Would actually bring some excitement & television ratings.

over 30k on a SBW with horrible weather.
Most likely due to weather more than the opponent.Quote:

Bingo. Been saying it for years. Exhibition game between us and Ole Miss. Play two halves. One at home, one away.Quote:
