stadium holds 75,000. Looked more like 15,000. You get bigger crowds for the GA high school playoffs. Why so weak?

Brad, Chad, Thad, and crew did their part:

A neutral site 300 miles from campus on a Monday night for a non conference game against a mediocre opponent in a shitty sports town during a pandemic?

Atlanta routinely fills up huge events and does them well. This was not a huge event. Nobody other than Louisville or Ole Miss fans were interested in going to a 8 PM game on Labor Day night with work/school the next day. And apparently neither were Ole Miss or Louisville fans.

The only way playing a neutral site Labor Day night game makes sense is for it to be (a) a huge, marquee matchup and/or (b) local teams.

When the only smack talk you can do is attendance based.

I actually meant to go back and check the Bama/Miami attendance to see if it was full because I thought the Benz was under attendance restrictions.

Ole Miss is lucky to get 50k at home games.

Their fans don’t travel.

It’s a 4.5 hour drive from Oxford to Atlanta so the fact they couldn’t get more fans there is well very OM like

Nope - full capacity, masks only "highly suggested" in concourses.

Alabama/Miami was probably about 85% full.

Not following this. We beat you last year and beat you under Bert when you had all those fancy players.

Few teams we can smack talk and OM is one of them

The neutral games are dead to me. I bought a lower level Alabama/Duke ticket for $20 and that was almost a bigger snooze than last night.

I don't think most of us are blaming the fans of either team.

Having games like that especially on Monday night is just a bad idea.
