Pleasantly surprised with the numbers. Especially considering the weather. When the last time we had 28k+ in those stands?

Told my wife I was absolutely shocked by the turn out. Couldn’t get 15k in the rain for Kansas St, couldn’t get 20k for top 25 Okie St and top 25 Boise St.
But almost 30k, in the rain, for Grambling? Nice accomplishment. Btw, tailgating and student areas (especially by the intramural fields and Greeks) were absolutely jammmed packed before, during and after the game.
This town is going to be a mad house once we hang a few Ws with Napier and Maggard in charge.
It stopped raining around 3:00 and never rained a drop during or after the game until early morning. I know because I live in the shadow of the stadium. Great weather for a game. cool and calm......so if you don't come to the game because of rain, that was a poor excuse.
I drove around the Cajun dome and talked to a few Grambling fans. While doing so they had a few Southern fans there also. Took a few pictures of the east side. It was full for the most part. But at half time after Grambling band left the field the students started to leave. about half left. At game ending you may have had a quarter of the Grambling fans that left at the end of the forth quarter, but 8/10 of the students were gone.........the team had a few on the railing to greet them.
It wasn’t raining hard enough for the masses to seek cover, but it was raining for the at least the first 10 minutes of the first quarter. Given the weather, the fact that there were so many fans there was awesome. I was skeptical around 3 pm with all the rain, but it ended up being a great turnout.
It was definitely raining during our first drive of the game... It slacked off pretty shortly after that. I do agree that not coming because of a little rain is a poor excuse.
On the Grambling side, it was packed and it looked like they were wearing ponchos.... Our fanbase needs to toughen up.
