South Carolina fans are so loyal even when they’re losing.

UK happened to had terrible weather for several home games. Torrential downpours for the Louisville and Missouri games.

A look at the attendance numbers as a game by game will support that. Outside of those games, tremendous attendance for U.K.

Toledo - 54,610
Eastern Kentucky - 55,240
Florida - 63,076
Arkansas - 57,060
Missouri - 48,446 - HARD RAIN
Tennessee - 56,760
UT Martin - 41,495 - LIGHT RAIN
Louisville - 48,336 - HARD RAIN
It was a shite year all around last year for weather at Commonwealth. By the time Louisville rolled around at the end, Id paid my dues. We said eff it before halftime and went back out and tailgated watching finish on satellite. Calling that rain torrential is an understatement.

Yikes, #14 Vandy is 22K lower than #13 Ole Miss and only about 7K more than the Ragin Cajuns...

People definitely choose LSU over A&M. Let’s stop acting like A&M is in the same academic ball park as UT.

It happens every year when we take your recruits from you even though they were offered a full ride at A&M too

Yikes. Someone isn’t following. It’s okay. You only have an LA education.

At no point in time last season were there 53,000 people in attendance at an Arkansas game last season. I don’t think there was anyone on my row all season after the first game. I’ve never seen it that empty.

That’s the worst SEC home schedule I’ve ever seen, Florida.

Agreed, also seems like UK has always had good fan support in FB despite little history of success

I love the new Kyle Field, don't get me wrong but I miss that small window when it was right up there with the Big House. I think we had 110,000 at a game back in 2014 (Ole Miss).

Considering the mediocre season we had, averaging under 900 below capacity is pretty decent.

A&M may be one level below t.u. right now, but LSU is about 3 levels below A&M.

I figured they weren't selling out, but damn...
Especially considering they improved last year over the previous year.



Remember...UT started the season 1-4.

Max capacity only allows LSU to be 2nd at best unless Aggy attendance slides.

We are the Cleveland Browns or Chicago Cubs of CFB fan bases.

We typically are Top 25-30 in attendance. We just get shite in this conference because Weve got like 9 other schools ahead of us whos numbers and fan support generally every other school in the other P5s save for the top 1 or 2 in each conference. I believe UK is pretty well Top 3-5 for attendance/capacity in any other P5 conference.

But because we are the motherfricking SEC (youre GD right) were like 11th or some such.

No different in recruiting.

UK fans "hell yes...weve got the #21 recruiting class this year."

SEC fand "lulz...congrats on being 11th or 12th in the conference."

I really miss LSU-UK annual series. It wasn't a rivalry, but produced its fair share of memorable games and gave us a good reason to visit a great region we wouldn't see otherwise with good fans. Then, after 50 years or so, it was just gone
