Your pick.

I hope it's good. This team and staff deserve support. And now that Dave's gone, there's no particularly good football reason to withhold it.

I wish I could make it work, but my Saturday schedules don't open up for another couple of weeks.

Upper deck 60% empty? Rest of stadium probably 85% full given HoCo folks in town.

11 am kick doesn't help, but the fanbase is supposedly rejuvinated after the firing & last weeks performance; and Baylor Homecoming is the biggest & best in the country. 40,000 seems about right.

Announced 41K, actual, more like 35K, is what I'm guessing.

Afternoon or night game would have done better.

At least it's November and the temperature should be pleasant.

Forecast is improving for now. Weather Channel showing 65 and cloudy at kickoff up to 68 by game end, with 8-10mph winds out of the NE and 3% chance of rain. Which means it will probably pour.

I just saw somewhere they announced attendance at 39,229. I even underestimated, but pretty close.

Anyway, not a terrible crowd, especially for 11AM.

Could have been a lot worse.

Doug - Not sure if you were at the game or could see the crowd on TV, but the actual crowd was much worse. Upper decks may have had 25% of capacity. But I admit that I am terrible at guessing crowd size. I just know it looked bad in the stadium.

Dave rarely won a home game. He was the worst home game coach in Baylor football history. It will take 2-3 more years for BU fans to really believe again thanks to Dave's incompetence..

It is going to be tough for sure to win back the fans after Dave, but I have been a season ticket holder since we moved into McLane and this year's TCU was a good crowd that was given a terrible game to witness.

I am still hopeful of this team with the new coach and if we can possibly pull off a win this week in Provo, I am hoping that the fans and students will show up the Tech game. Not sure why the freshmen weren't better represented at HOCO, maybe they stayed up too late at Pigskin.

But I understand anyone for feeling the PTSD for the past few years of how we have played at home.

Yeah, I thought from some of the views on TV the upper decks were about half empty at best. They always pump up the actual numbers a bit.

But still, after the first half of the season, and an 11am kick, it didn't seem like a horrible turnout. Not what we want, but better than it could have been for sure.

I should have been there, though.

Maybe someday.

You obviously weren't around for Kevin Steele.
