Who can blame him? The first kids he worked with are leaving. It says something about his character that he didn’t just jump on his first P5 that wanted him. Thank you Coach Napier!

Announcing that before the conference championship would be WRONG.

This would have been more true before ESD became a reality

I’m just glad CBN stuck around this long considering we can’t get fans to the friggin game. We can’t all give oodles of cash in donations but just getting a ticket and going to the game would be a nice start.

Next week will give you an indicator of the fan base we have potential for. Patience.

True fact is we not a P5 and until we get a legit shot at a playoff spot that will help increase the fan base. If we were in a P5 conference that would help also with attendance….the reality is we compete with LSU and we expect to fill a big stadium when every game is on tv. Not happening these days. We have to build a tradition and that starts with the students and SGA making the football games part of being at school. Freshman need to be indoctrinated and that is how we get a tradition started.

36 years. That’s the answer when it comes to fans.

We have had some solid fan attendance in the past, but we must realize we are now a 35k max fanbase except in very special situations.

Any word on whether Napier has been having discussions with LSU? Just curious with Riley evidently not going to LSU. I wonder if Napier still had any interest in that job once he had serious discussions with Florida.
