What's the deal with State fans NOT showing in Oxford for the Egg bowl?
Because it is thanksgiving day? Or lack of interest? ( Because of records or chances of winning) or other?
2012 we had a good crowd. We filled our sections. 2014 I stayed home, ticket prices. So I can't speak on 2014 attendance. However 2016, 2018 and 2022 I went.
2016: poor showing. We weren't expected to win. However it was a Saturday game.
2018: poor showing. Everyone knew we would win but it was thanksgiving day.
2020 Covid
2022. Poor showing. Toss up game. Thanksgiving day.
SCarolina had a better showing than us in Oxford for 2018. Kentucky did too in 2022
I always enjoy going to this game. I hate the game is on thanksgiving but I make it work to be there. I don't get State fans that don't go to this game.
