    And once the sun sets and it gets dark it?ll only get worse. 12 seems to be decent but 82 is a skating rink in places.

    Question about men's BB game attendance. My 80 year old MSU Mom still gets the Tupelo "Daily Inferno", just another UNM paper in my opinion but she still enjoys print media. They showed attendance of 8100 plus for the game against Auburn. I assume that this is season tickets plus game day sales. Does the BB program make $ as long as a certain # of season tickets are sold even if only a couple of thousand show up for the games?

    The crowd for Auburn wasn?t half bad. No, there weren?t 8,100 butts in seats but it was much better tha. The non conference crowds and Arkansas.

    They aren't nearly as bad as they were for that game. It was just folks in walking distance back then for the most part.

    Maybe they can bring in Ken Harvey to punch out something.

    I would think the difference in tickets sold and actual attendance is that those who don't come to the games don't buy concessions. Presumably season ticket holders pay for parking whether they use it or not (like football). I'd still rather they showed actual turnstile count instead of inflating attendance numbers just for optics. They call it "attendance", so it should really be the count of those who attended.

    Yeah, show actual turnstile count. I think they claim tickets sold at the FB games also.
