Idk why you're even in this thread. I went to the 2009 National Championship game, and there wasn't a single Texas fan there.



No players on the field........probably half time

Don't see any Alabama fans there, either. Bad example.

I dunno.

Why has Florida been bad since 2008?

Why did Florida suck pretty much since before 1991?

That pic I took was only of the Texas half of the stadium. Here is the Bama side... clearly full.

You seem very upset that Alabama only sold out 1 home game out of 7 in 2004, and that it took Auburn fans to do it.

Like, meltdown territory.

You just can't let it guy. You really think you have a "gotcha" moment?

Using your superb detective skills to point out a 98% attendance figure during a 6-6 campaign under Mike Shula, you've also pointed out that there was a 100% attendance figure in 4-9, 10-2, and 6-7 seasons under him. Seems that's counterintuitive to your overall argument here.

You shouldn't learn your college football history from posts on SEC fan websites. They tend to not reflect reality.

1992: 13-0 National title
1993: 9-3
1994: 12-1 1st SEC West
1995: 8-3
1996: 10-3 1st SEC West tied w/LSU. Bama to SECCG
1997: 4-7
1998: 7-5
1999: 10-3 SEC Title
2000: 3-8
2001: 7-5
2002: 10-3 1st SEC West. Ineligible for SECCG
2003: 4-9
2004: 6-6
2005: 10-2
2006: 6-7

So, in a 15 year span that's 6 10 win seasons, 5 1st place division finishes, 2 conference titles, and 1 national title.

The only standard by which that's considered "so bad" is the Bama standard.


Short version - you're not very smart.

My overall argument is that Alabama only sold out one home game in 2004. The reason I brought that up is that if I had not proven that statement with facts, I would have been called a liar, because like aggy, you think your feces smells like Chanel no 5

Where does it say those games weren't sold out?

Texas had more empty seats in the last two years alone than Bama had during that entire "so bad" 8 year stretch. Bitch, bye.

Of course he was lying. That was the loudest game I had ever seen at Bryant Denny pre-Saban.

Check stadium capacity against attendance.

I guess congrats on being pedantic and splitting hairs. I guess you really showed that poster that said "most games were sold out" in the Mike Shula era.

2003 - 100%
2004 - 98%
2005 - 100%
2006 - 100%

You do know that attendance does not necessarily reflect the amount of tickets sold, right?

We'll use the Alabama argument: having 93 percent capacity through three consecutive losing seasons is nothing to laugh at.

I mean, it's not South Carolina selling out every game through decades if losing, for sure
