if we could keep up the 4,410 per game (dec 19), we would be on track for 66,158, which would go back to 2009 for those numbers excluding pandemic yrs.

big sky only: 5 games, 3,290.
overall: 10 games, 3,910.

We have only seen numbers this low once in the rahe area, 2007-08. its all pandemic related. covid + people got used to not going and are watching on espn+. i dont really care to compare what we are seeing to logan, salt lake and provo but i dare say none are averaging sell out crowds. i claim to be a loyal fan and even i have watched maybe half of our 10 home games from my tv at home.

i should also mention i dont attend non-d1 opponents under any circumstance.

1. non: didnt go
2. nau: went
3. psu: went
4. non: didnt go
5. usu: went
6. byu: went
7. fresno: went
8. idaho: didnt go
9. isu: didnt go
10. ewu: didnt go
11: griz: will be there for sure.

Even though the crowd was pretty small last night, I thought the fans were really into it. That was a really fun game with a good vibe. I do miss the band. What is the reason for no band? I watched the Sac State game on Saturday and I noticed they had a band. I figure if they can get a band then Weber should have one. Is it because we can't afford one, too lazy, not a priority, etc?????? It really bugs me that we don't have a band. I hope more people come Thursday. This team is damn fun to watch. We score a lot points, get a good amount of dunks, and get lots of steals and we run and gun up and down the court. We have lots of great athletes on this team. I can't wait for Thursday. FTG...
