It was still better actual than what the Troy game was. Student crowd was triple. The big differences being: a. No LSU that day of course…but not to be forgotten b. people actually did their jobs somewhat for the GSU game and promoted it like it mattered. We can’t control a but we can always control b.
We CHOOSE not to promote and improve our gameday experience. This community has chosen that what we provide is not worth their time.
As Turbine said this situation is based on IF. That does not stop and start with on field performance. We built the success on field up. Attendance improved but not by the numbers we wanted. In large part, IMO, because we did NOTHING to improve our gameday experience.
Ga State falls in the opening round to USC 3-0.

Anybody heard anything about T.J. Finley and the Cajuns?
Do we really want this kid, what has he really done? He could not even start on a terrible Auburn team that went 5-7 while when he did play his number were terrible at Auburn. He did have some decent numbers at LSU, but he is a turnover machine. In his career at both Auburn and LSU he has 12 TD's vs 10 INT's. He has only completed about 57% of his passes and found himself behind guys by the name of Bo Nix, Robby Ashford, Myles Brennan and Max Johnson, not a who's who of NCAA QB's.
I know the kid has talent, but I feel better with Zeon Chriss at QB, now if he was to come in and be a projected backup, then possibly, but to start, no way, we have been down that road before and it was a failure.
You are the 2nd person to claim that. It's a little startling how quickly people forget the truth...or just choose to ignore it.
Nicholls: 3 point win. Lindsey dominated us that entire game. He doesn't gift us with a pick 6 we lose.
South Alabama: Missed 37 yard field goal gave us the game.
Ark State: Beat a 1-6 football team by a whopping 1 point. Needed a 99 yard TD run and needed a 10+ minute drive to ice it.
Georgia State: Rushed for 200+ yards on us at home and could've won the game if Elliot doesn't abandon the run too early.
It doesn't take anything away from Billy Napier and his legacy here to acknowledge the fact that he was without out a doubt the most fortunate coach we have had in the last 30+ years.
2 field goal misses against "the program we should never lose to" away from OT in one game and a loss in the other. Billy had 4 years here and gave us one dominant win over the Warhawks.
Have we forgotten the shanked field goal to get us our first win over App State? Needing a 53 yard field goal from a guy who couldn't hit 30 yarders to beat Ga Southern?
