Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2624788, member: 7492"] So to all my SC brethren, enlighten me on “how many fans” do they think would follow the Gamecocks to any area site that the team would play in. I gave the numbers from 2015 when SC was a #1 seed and were placed in Greensboro, a mere 183 miles from Columbia. During that season, the Gamecocks averaged 12,143 fans per home game. The Greensboro site is arguably the closest a venue would be for SC and yet only 6,000 fans went to that Final when SC earned its first FF trip. North Carolina with Diamond Deshields and Duke were in the regional as well. So I am sure some of their fans went also. So again I ask “How many fans do you and Dawn think would go if tickets were available- 1,000; 2,000; 3,000?” More than that I am highly skeptical as the past shows no indication of those numbers that would be proposed. If games are convenient and at home in Columbia, fans show up (like the 1st two rounds will be), however to whine and complain like Dawn is when no facts are evident is exactly that- whining. I really do enjoy [USER=7443]@SCspur[/USER] [USER=4497]@cockhrnleghrn[/USER] [USER=6414]@Gamecockfan77[/USER] [USER=7956]@sharris952[/USER] and what they bring. I also think SC won last years title was won fair and square as they took care of business. UConn did not. Our fans here need to simply tip their hat to our brethren and own the fact we didn’t. Nuf ced. Likewise, our colleagues need to get over the Albany issue, they own it and stop grasping at straws the fans can’t go as they didn’t even go whe then game was 3 hours away but now they want to say they would go to Lexington? Come one, just stop it no evidence is there to show that. [/QUOTE]
