What's the O/U on % of TSU vs MT fans in attendance?

On a serious note, I've seen more than a few games that they just didn't seem to care to travel. At other times, TSU will bring a massive contingent of fans. I am curious as to what will happen with attendance this weekend. If TSU has a larger crowd at MT, another humiliation albeit expected.

Not sure but De Leon mentioned WOC in the boro has IK in tickets for its members....

-18.5

that's a big number. Opened at -21.5


Total 51.5

 

[ewglenn]

I would set the O/U at 22.5k. I say we end up with 23-24k. WOC buying a thousand tickets should help a lot.

 

[sWiley]

Line is back up to MT -21.5 where I book. Really tempting to take TSU here, but MT under Stockstill actually has a pretty good record ATS (against the spread) when playing at Floyd Stadium.

This Lee DeLeon cat is the best hire the Athletic Dept has made in a looooong time. He won't be here long. Too many schools will chase after that kind of professionalism and passion.

 

[RaiderDoug]

Of all the crap that pissed me off about MT Football - the helmets tonight are freakin' awesome

 

[Sommy]

Any “underground” links to watch the game?

 

[RaiderDoug]

We may not be great, but TSU doesn't belong on the same field as we do.

I've got it on ESPN+. streameast.live is my go to for "underground" NFL, but don't know if they'd have this game.

 

[MTFAN61]

Watching on espn plus. What's the attendance estimate? If 20k not the greatest, but not too bad either

 

[BlueSioux]

How's the attendance looking today?

 

[RaiderDoug]

How's the attendance looking today?

Just from ESPN+, looks ok. Upper deck west appears empty, lower sidelines aren't full, but not shiny bleachers either.

 

[RaiderDoug]

14-0 Raiders. I get the feeling we could name our score tonight.

 

[JohnDavidBlue]

Attendance looks lousy on tv.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Attendance looks lousy on tv.

Better than past years. In fact, lower bowl looks good (helped by all the TSU fans lol)

 

[blueraiderJT]

Actually a nice home crowd considering our past 5 seasons in attendance. The vibe is nice as well. I credit DeLeon for laying the groundwork for student involvemment.

The good news is the record will probably be 2-2 going into home game against UTSA. Possibility for a big crowd and some momentum, even if Miami rolls over the Raiders. Impressive student turnout tonight. Many more than past years which is great!

 

[JohnDavidBlue]

Looks a little better in tv. Must have had a late tailgating crowd show up.

 

[JohnDavidBlue]

Colorado state remains winless today.
Rick padding his whooping of teams with losing records.

Listening to radio first qtr while finishing mowing, Chip and Jeff both said tailgaters came in late and that apparently there was a ticket issue as well because the lines were half way around the stadium at one point. Said Grove and Greenland both were packed.

 

[sWiley]

Total @$$ beating. Gotta give credit for tonights effort. Even if TSU is bad, this is a good performance.

 

[blueraiderJT]

Jackson State (Coach Prime with a loaded offense) only put up 16 on TSU. Wow.

the stadium has filled in a lot more since the first quarter.

Expected more from the Tigers, but Raiders are figuring out their new offense. Peasant is becoming our best RB in some time

 

[RaiderDoug]

Good teams should take care of overmatched opponents, so we're doing what we're supposed to do.

Miami is what it is.

UTSA is going to be the big opportunity to take a step forward and challenge for something more than 6-6.

ITavius Mathers is working directly with the RB's and it shows. Frank looked like I'tavius on that last play.

UTSA is leading Texas by 10 right now. That ain't happening.

UTSA looks better than Miami at this point. Not sure if we will be able to hang with them. They are as tough as any team in the country at the line of scrimmage and have 3 potential NFL receivers out there catching passes.

Jackson State (Coach Prime with a loaded offense) only put up 16 on TSU. Wow.

3 straight road games, they were beat up by Jackson St. J St had 4 TO's in the red zone

 

[Hop45]

My highlight has been the kicker dropping the hammer on Dobson on the returns. Love to see a kicker sticking his nose in there.
