Do any other power 5 teams routinely borrow a HS stadium for home games? You play in a bush league setting you should expect those kind of results IMO

We were 29-4 under Nutt, Petrino, and JLS in that bush league setting before BERT got here.

Also, will that be his excuse when we play at Missouri and Vandy in the future? Because they have pretty shitty stadiums, too.

I don't know what it is with Bert and LR, but it is an auto loss when playing anything except an FCS team there with him. Hell we had to come from behind against Samford to get his only win there.

After the remodel and when compared to War Memorial it's very nice. It's obviously not be class of the SEC but it's leaps and bounds better than WMS.

Oh hell yeah its above WMS. But so is Allen High School

Other than that I wouldn't say it is above any of the other 5 SEC stadia I have been to

Folks trying to blame the loss on where the game was played are jousting at windmills. We should have beaten Toledo no fricking matter where the game was played. It's the coaches job to get them ready no matter where the game is played.

It was not done.

Only "one school" states with multiple metro areas in state, these schools have to play games in each metro area to sustain the fanbase.

Nebraska is a classic example.

I refuse to believe the stadium or setting has anything to do with the losses.

Get them ready no matter where you play. That's what you're paid millions for...

I don't think it really had much to do with the outcome. But yet again it was not sold out, there was a huge white trash fight on a fairway that is a black eye to our program and we took a revenue hit at the gate. For what?

We had 67k for UTEP in Fay, and clearly UTEP was a shittier team. Why in gods name can people not pack WMS?? It is embarassing
