The weather looked shitty. It was a Thursday night game between two bad teams.

Seems like the weather is always a factor for them, but boy they were wishing for snow for the LSU football game

Seems like a case of the bandwagon fan

Maybe the weather took a turn for the worse. It looked perfectly fine when i was watching for the first 3 or so innings. I occasionally flipped back too and never saw any bad weather at all.

And there is no bad weather in any of the highlights.

That and it is spring break across the state. Most people are doing other things.

Like i said the grandstands were completely empty. I wouldnt expect (though i dont know for sure how Arkansas does it) those to be student seats.

Right. I mean all across the state so families are doing other things this week, I would assume.

yes, started it a few years ago (or maybe more, time flies). i love it, it used to be a pain in the butt with some being out one week and some being out another week.

I only got a chance to watch a couple of innings, but I saw fans wearing gloves.

It used to be "actual attendance, Hogs are da best. Cathedral of college baseball. Baum is nicer and has better fans." I think bbap is just noting that apparently when the team is down, that bravado was shown to be false.

Maybe you should read the rest of the thread....we'll see what happens after spring break.

But yes, we are terrible this year so it will probably go down some. Happens everywhere.

DC, whatever. You condescension is misplaced. I've been in this thread from the beginning. I understand it was spring break. We will see if the attendance climbs over the next few weeks. Even as biased as you are, you have to admit that the recent responses from Hog fans are markedly different than those of the previous three years.

I dont really care either way. I was just taken aback at how empty it was. I mean there was NO ONE there.

Pretty sure they are trolling you and you bit. It's pretty well known we are up there with LSU when it comes to baseball attendance. We care.
