This year, after the first losing season under Hugh Freeze, a lacking recruiting class, NCAA issues hovering over the program, and looking at a postseason ban, Ole Miss fans seem to have lost all interest. The Rebels only drew 8,000 people to the stadium Saturday.

How did that compare to State's spring game? Same state, same size fan base, same size stadium, same weekend. But no cloud of NCAA hanging over them.

Genuinely curious.

I actually take pride in the fact LSU doesnt have alot of people attend the spring game. It shows we have actual lives, and arent such pathetic losers that 80,000+ people line up to watch a practice

Miss St drew 16,630 for their spring game at 3pm the same day, according to SEC Country:

Here's the attendance for all spring games dating back to the 2012 season. N/A means they didn't have a spring game (stadium renovations, etc):

I usually only sign on tRant to flame rebels, but I'm giving them a hardy congrats on this situation.

Ignoring the ridiculous "spring game" is a positive that I wish more fanbases would adopt

Look, I never will give a flying frick about the LSU spring game. And I find it mind boggling that some schools care so much about the spring game that 80k+ attend.

I will never be able to fathom, that with the spring, when you have the best fishing, weather, crawfish boils, baseball, festivals, etc etc, people care, and more than even care, they make fun of others for NOT attending a practice

I adopted this policy several years ago. The games are so scripted and staged, there really is no need to watch it.

Not sure you should take pride in it, but I also really don't enjoy spring games. I think it's basically one practice where we start to overhype players who know their opponent better than they will anyone they play during the course of the season. It's also so much easier for QBs knowing they can step up in the pocket and not worry about getting it.

But it can also help recruiting. Our 93K day last year was really important for the program, and I feel like recruits take notice of that sort of thing.

Well they cheated, so...not like we're kicking a team that went through a natural disaster or something else they couldn't control.
