It's weird. Anyways, Lane's being dumb by talking about this so much.

A. Not an Ole Miss problem, look at crowds everywhere.
B. Recession with high inflation, cost of attending a beat down of directional state university is expensive.


I disagree. Ole Miss is on the up and up and they can't find 60K to fill the stadium. Most of the Auburn fans don't live near Auburn, but they still make the 2-3 hour drive to support their crappy team with no QB or caoch.

Most Auburn fans live in Atlanta, Birmingham, or Montgomery, all of which are large cities within two hours of Auburn.

Some Ole Miss fans live in Memphis, which is an hour from Oxford. Many live in Jackson, which is about three hours from Oxford. Many are scattered around Mississippi. Oxford is isolated. There isn't an interstate within 30 miles of town.

The situations are not remotely comparable.

An anecdote doesn't disprove my point. Attendance is down across college football, especially for shitty OOC games. Auburn is surrounded by major cities. Oxford is not.

The UK game is sold out. Tulsa was not well attended. Wonder what the difference is.

Auburn fans probably realized SJSU would be one of their few opportunities to see an Auburn win this year.
