whatnamecanipick Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 This is really disappointing in considering that this was the Strong Era's first game! I wonder how many of those 8,000 missing fans felt like they contributed to the loss? ZERO The last season opening loss was in 1999 against NC State. It was a sellout. Quote
whatnamecanipick Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Posted August 31, 2014 Yes, and it was special teams breakdown that allowed NC State to pull the win out of a hat. It was the last time that a Mack Brown team had bad special teams. He started using the "12 man" idea, but the players revolted. Quote

PhatMack19 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Last night's attendance at DKR of 93,201 represented the lowest fan turnout at a Texas game since the stadium expanded seating in 2008. Quote

Therefore your posts on attendance in Austin doesn't matter. Grade school stuff. Quote

PhatMack19 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Isn't 93000 people good? Yes it is. It's is also more people than have ever attended a game at A&M, that is until this Saturday when the new stadium opens. I think the issue is that when teams hire a new coach the program is usually full of energy and excitement. This hasn't happened with Charlie yet. Quote

Only an issue with Aggies. 8,000 empty seats and we still won. Why would you ever need the "12th man"? Quote
