Northwestern State at Louisiana Attendance Predictions

[Just1More]

UT Knoxville expanded Neiland one year by over 5,000 without adding a seat. Erased bench seats from 18" and replaced with by putting all 16" apart.

I've been there twice and it's miserable. And let me tell you... Tennessee has some very fat fans.

If there were 27k in attendance there is no way there were 33k against North Texas in 2011

I don't even get Jay's response "paid attendance" (from John). I know two groups of two that had tickets (season) and didn't go to the game and didn't give their tickets to anyone. If they were "counted" then we had less people than reported. I disagree with Jay (massively) that only a couple of hundred people were in the grass. It was WAY more. I started counting them and then extrapolated that value to an approximation of the rest. I also counted a line of people standing and did the same. And saying that an audit is why we don't count every head in the house doesn't make sense. We announce "attendance". We can always reduce that to actual paid attendance to auditors when necessary. Other schools have auditors and they always exaggerate their attendance. When you don't get aggressive with that number, you only hurt yourself. I guess we'll never agree on this... but I'll stick with my own estimates.

I'm not sure if the method of counting has changed but it looked like one of the larger crowds I've seen for an opener. Jay Walker may have his thoughts based on his vantage point. I think his approximations may be a tad flawed.

They usually are.

Close enough?

For whoever says they counted the home side empty seats. Look at the people sitting in the end zones and standing around the fences. Place those people in the home side stand empty seats. Do you think it doesn't fill those seats? You're nuts.

Was up there years ago. They like their food up there. Tried bringing the cardboard Elvira from the bar home with me, would not fold and fit in suit case, left her standing in the hotel room. We learned a good lesson...Don't get drunk and make up a diddy making fun of hillbillies and sing it in a bar in Tennessee...you'll hear it on the radio a few years later, with only a few words changed.

We did correct the UT folks, they were applauding the LSU score, had to explain to them that sentiment was not reciprocal.

Our group went to Shoney's buffet for breakfast the next morning. I'm telling you... every person in there was double their normal body weight in blubber... and that included infants all the way through the senior citizens. How that Shoney's made a profit is beyond me.
