Looks like we are working to fill the stands for this opener.

Presumably because they wanted to sell as many full-price tickets as possible./\PP ST/\TE GRAD 09 wrote:I can not tell if this is a good or bad thing? Why are they just now waiting until a week before to promote this to the fans?
I went to the ticket office online site and pretended I was ordering single game tickets. When it got to the seat selection part, it appeared to have a lot of open spots.Gonzo wrote:How many are still available?
I doubt many fans care whether we're playing a flagship university. They want to see us playing recognizable football programs. We'd have been better off keeping Southern Miss on this year's schedule.NewApp wrote:When I ordered tickets for Homecoming vs Wyoming, there were quite a few tickets left.

Did we drop Southern Miss or has that been moved forward to another date?EastHallApp wrote:I doubt many fans care whether we're playing a flagship university.

I agree Wyoming is not that big of a deal, however we had fantastic homecoming turn outs when we were in the SoCon. We are all dedicated fans. That's why we take the time to post our joys, pains, and thoughts on this message board. The verdict is still out for our fair weather fans. We've had good years recently, but sadly they are still not convinced. I can see us making a bowl game this year, which hopefully gives the fair weather fans something to be happy about, and pack the rock CONSISTENTLYEastHallApp wrote:I doubt many fans care whether we're playing a flagship university.

Moved back to 2018. And I agree about Homecoming. We are starting to run out of excuses for the lackluster crowds.NewApp wrote:Did we drop Southern Miss or has that been moved forward to another date?EastHallApp wrote:I doubt many fans care whether we're playing a flagship university.

Too, we are talking about Homecoming which is normally a big crowd.
Not sure who initiated it, but if USM dropped us to play Alabama, then they must have been disappointed, because they didn't get a game with them.AppinVA wrote:To be clear, we did not drop So.

We replaced So.Miss with Wyoming, which given the time frame, and that Alabama was no longer available, was a solid add.
I stand corrected though, I really do remember something about So. Miss wanting to sign another P5 for this year, rather than coming to Boone. Maybe I am really going crazy.EastHallApp wrote:Not sure who initiated it, but if USM dropped us to play Alabama, then they must have been disappointed, because they didn't get a game with them.AppinVA wrote:To be clear, we did not drop So.
