NOTE: some Athletic Departments inflate attendance numbers
Ah, so now it makes sense... there is NO WAY Wazzou had 400 people at their spring game...

I heard Gonzaga's football team got more support last season and they haven't fielded one in close to 60 years :P

Wow... The Big East actually beat the Pac-10 in average Spring Game attendance? There's something that'll convince the BCS they should maintain an automatic bid.
95,000 + fans: The Buckeyes should be as congratulated as Bama was the year Saban drove (got driven) into town. Imagine; if each fan was charged all of $5, and the money went to charity...
Does anyone have any numbers as to who was tops in the Big East & Pac-10. (The other 4 are easy enough to figure out. Duh!)

Alabama did it a few years ago, they had people with buckets there so that the fans could make a "donation"... They had 92,000 people there in '07, yet only raised $30k... pretty pathetic... That's a 32 CENT donation per person...
How many of those f*cking lame "Got Recruits?" t-shirts did they sell???
I hate to say this, but some of the fans of my own school are the cheapest, stupidest red necks I have ever encountered...

It was an Ok concept, back when only a few schools were doing it... Kentucky started it, I believe... now it;s just cheesy...

I would be interested to see the MWC results... Utah did not include attendance in the stats for their spring game...
Boise State I am sure did well too, their fans are crazy.

Am I the only person to think it's kind of pathetic to draw 95,000 to a practice? Is Columbus that dull a place?

probably not the only one, but why not go to the spring game? i mean, at most schools it's a chance to come down and at least check out the action from every vantage point the stadium has to offer for FREE. it's a chance to just be around the program and see a little preview for the upcoming season. it also makes a tremendous impact on the recruits that are visiting.
so i think it's actually pathetic that fans DON'T go to the spring games, especially if you live in state.

Dave, don't mind BC...He doesn't care what you think, and recently, he's proven to us how little he cares to think, himself...
For more information-not that you should care, or that he does-check out the Tennessee thread...

I can see where you're coming from Dave. In Miami very few hurricanes go to the spring game, because there is a lot of other things going on. That isn't to say spring games are a waste of time or not fun.

Actually the team is just that popular. At $5 a head to get in that cleared a lot of money for the local charities.

Since Foster is being so honest, I can tell you that there's no way Auburn had 45,000 at their game. More like 30k...
Smart money doesn't believe a damn word coming out of our AD these days...

FosterKeats,
It's clearly evident you were not one of the fans that came to support the team that day.
No one was prepared for the onslaught of fans in Tuscaloosa that day, including the volunteers prepared to accept donations.
I know of a lot of people, including myself, who tried desperately to find those volunteers but couldn't. Why? Only a handful to handle over 100K in and around the stadium.
Now, retreat back to your dungeon and find something else to complain about - but try some realism next time, comprede'?
