Cudos to the students. For the first 3 quarters, the student section was about 85% full. What a great improvement over the past few years.


As for the rest of the crowd, those that showed up... awesome. Those that stayed home, you should be ashamed. You want a good football team? You have to show up. I was really disappointed in the 20k fans that didn't bother coming. All other places I saw, against the same level opponent, had most of their stadiums full.

Get your butts to the GA Tech game in 2 weeks.

It was really bad. Not sure we have had that small of a crowd as a ranked team.

Sorry my pregnant wife didn’t feel like spending a couple grand and driving 8 hours to see us play Mercer

Ok Lane .

How about we schedule a Power 5 team instead of these Mercer/UT Martin games

Don’t schedule shittey teams and then get mad people don’t come . You can’t have it both ways

Glad I was able to go! Probably the only home game I’ll go to since I’m in the DC area. Labor Day made it an easier decision.

Agreed. Left my super pregnant wife at home. Drank, ate, stayed until the end, and still made it back to Madison by 8:30.

Look at all these empty seats at Davis Wade.



Look at all these empty seats at War Memorial Stadium




Look at all these empty seats at Kyle Field.

Look at all of these empty seats at Commonwealth Stadium (go to the 3:15 mark).

I've said it many others.

Ole Miss needs to schedule better non-conference games.

Mercer got a football team in 2013. I felt like I was watching Ole Miss play Jackson Prep.
