Is this accurate? Embarassing for a member of the Big 6 to only have 22K at spring game. Especially when their QB position is wide open. How the might have fallen 


That's typical for lsu

Probably just excitement. He was one of the more touted hires of the off-season. If they had hired, say, Pruitt, the numbers would probably be closer to UT's.

Joined the list of top ten spring game attendance records.

Top ten attendance all time

SEC holds 7 of the ten

6, but still impressive. The combination of a football-crazy culture and a spring that is actually starting to get warm by April is a perfect storm.

Also, the OSU numbers are inflated by the thousands of medical personnel on standby in case OSU looks mediocre and Urban needs to be resuscitated.

This is normal for them, it's not just the Scott Frost hype. I'm no fan of the Huskers but they treat the spring game like a top 5 match-up every year, even when they suck.
Don't they charge admission as well?

Ole Miss attendance was n/a? It was available but Ole Miss didn't want to announce it. I don't blame them. I wouldn't announce just 5 visiting recruits.

Think OSU would have had 70k but it was storming that weekend. OSU moved the game up 2 hours to try and get it done before the rain

Georgia had the west end zone closed off due to ongoing construction. If not for that attendance would probably have been over 90 thousand. Many fans stayed away after hearing that seating would be limited and passes would be issued on a first come first served basis. I know a few older fans who decided not to go for fear that they couldn't get in. Didn't want to make the drive without a ticket in hand.

This surprising. Their fans have been acting really hyped up. When was it? Was it raining or something?

We had nearly 225 in attendance.

Remember our press conference? Bjork would not allow the general public to attend. Only a few reporters.

Obviously, Vitter and Bjork are not proud of our coach.

LSU fans don't want to be crammed in Tiger Stadium in the Spring with humidity and heat. I don't blame em, go eat crawfish and catch specks over sitting in that old dingy stadium in April... I think they actually show some intelligence on this issue..

Since we are playing the if game, we would have beat you if Tua was playing.

Everyone I've spoken with who was there (four family members) say that if there were 35-40k there they would be surprised.

A lot of fans are evidently siding with Pruitt for telling it like it is instead of the same old false narrative the school has been pushing for years. One where they tell the fans, "don't panic, move along, nothing to see here."

I'm thinking most UT fans are tired of the bullshite.

Unless the OP is wrong, and I am terrible at math it's,
5 of 10 SEC
2 of 10 B1G
2 of 10 ACC (w Clemson in there)
1 of 10 Big12

Y'all give Tillman way too much space in your head living rent free.

I would be laughing at my fellow Clemson fans if they were bragging about our conferences spring game attendance numbers while we had terrible attendance. Bragging about spring game attendance in itself is lame.
