Not to mention it was HOMECOMING. And 52,000 people showed up for the game. That's less than we used to draw for early season cupcakes.


I noticed while looking up the 1993 beatdown of Mizzou by A&M referenced above, they only drew 52k for that game in a stadium that sat (at the time) 70k. A&M only reached close to capacity twice for a team that went 10-2 and that second loss didn't happen until the Cotton Bowl.

It's interesting how expectations have changed.

Weve become so much more of a sports culture since 1993. I just read about a mom who cashed out her 401k and did a second mortgage to pay 70k a year for her son to attend IMG so he can hopefully earn a football scholarship.

It didnt occur to her to use some of that money to just pay for college directly and forget IMG.
