This is a shame but to be honest, if I lived close I probably would not have attended this game. This sure does not help recruiting. I think the only thing that will help this is to put a competitive team on the field year in and year out.

Sure made for an easy exit from the stadium. Some folks left at the half, most likely because it was a little cold and they thought we had it won. The crowd was loud when they needed to be. Student section looked to be about half full.

There is a reason why Football is big at schools in Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida... the weather! Once November hits, our fans have to sit on metal bleachers in 30-degree weather, which is not for everyone. Their fans can enjoy the game deep into the season without such discomfort. I would be surprised if we had 50% attendance.

I don't the think the weather had as much to do with it as who the opponent was and that the fans were stung over the bad play in the Tennessee game.

I was offered tickets and turned them down. I was at the Tenn game and it was horrible.

No, I did not want to watch them play in the next game after they laid down and did not not show up against the Vols.

I am not sure how many UK fans will show up at the UL game. I am undecided at this point.
