I think 30k(+) would have shown up for LSU had the rain God's not punished Baum for 3 straight days.

And by the time Old Piss rolled around, the season was complete garbage.

I'm not making excuses. I'm simply pointing out that while I was wrong about catching up to LSU, it's not like anyone foresaw the team nosediving and having 3 games barely even getting a enough of a window to be played.

Its not like you were the only team that experieced bad weather in the whole season. Get a grip dude...you don't put as many fans in the stands as we do, not many do.

Never disputed this.

I said, as all can see, that out of the last 5 years Arkansas led once by 1,000 and fell a few hundred shy the other 4 years.

The reason it was brought up in the first place was the circle jerk on the main board over total attendance despite the fact that LSU always has more home games. This year LSU had 7 more home games.

So we went on to averages.......

Point remains, and I stand by it, that the slim average difference between the schools says more about Arkansas support seeing as how it isn't uncommon for LSU to play a Friday night is 60 degree temps while Arkansas fans at the exact same time have to weigh the options of driving in 35 degree weather with sleet or snow.

So, I was wrong that we would catch up this year (which we normally do as it warms) but for all intents and purposes LSU was a rain out and Old Piss simply didn't draw well.

You guys win.
