re: Guess the Attendance for Arky

A couple of notes..

Attendance:
The student section was surprisingly pretty full. Not the fullest I’ve ever seen it, but i was satisfied with the turnout. Unfortunately a lot of people left at halftime but a few thousand stayed the whole game, thankfully.
Party decks were pretty lame and don’t look anything like what was shown when they were announced.
At kickoff there were several thousand empty seats. S1 was pretty thin, S10 & S11 looked like no mans land. Though to be fair, 10/11 are mostly empty 80% of the games I can remember.

Both the home and visitor sides had a fair bit of no shows, though I think that can be boiled down to it being an expected snooze fest between the two worst teams in conference (though Tennessee looks like they want a shot at that title), and the fact that it was still above 90 at kickoff.

Play:
Overall I’m sort of content with this defense. It’s not great by any means, but it’s nothing like what we’ve had the last couple of years. It seems to be trending in the right direction although only time will tell. There’s no way we stop the Alabama’s, LSU’s and Auburn’s of the world but if we can continue playing this pretty solid D I’ll be happy with this season.
O-Line was alright. Able to produce a few good runs. Matty Ice seems a little out of his element right now but I think he’s still just trying to find his groove.

+ I second what Dores said. The fireworks during the anthem, light show, sing alongs, they’re all enjoyable. Right now the product on the field isn’t what we want so they need to do as much as they can to make it fun for the people in the stadium.
