  • I would think it should be good. Everyone's been hungry for wins the last decade so you might as well get out there and get your belly full.

  • I'd guess at least what was there last week, plus a lil more.  I'll guess around 28-29K.  Every win will add, I'd guess, another K of butts in the bleachers.

  • Unfortunately for IAA opponents we trend really low on attendance. I'd venture to guess less than 25,000 tomorrow. I hope the ticket promo proves me wrong and drives the number but i doubt it. I still say we will experience a good up tick after the road stint pending how the team plays.

    Closest to reality, so far. It is Garber-Web. The competition is a big part of any draw. This competition is not a draw for the large fairweather contingent.

  • Not sure how many will be there, but Hometown Sportswear was absolutely packed today with people buying Herd gear.

  • I think we'll top last week by 2-3k.  I know a bunch that are coming from Beckley that did not come last week.

    A guy I work with and his wife haven't been to a game in 5 years and plan on coming today.

  • The fact that there is no chance of rain should help out. Last week it was a 50% chance of thunderstorms and it was hot. That threat of rain probably kept a lot of people at home.....don't get me started on those types of folks.

    I never can understand people around Huntington. Beautiful day, exciting Herd football team, tailgating, food, beer, music, friends......no brainer to me.
