Message: [QUOTE="visitingcock, post: 4708210, member: 6872"] In 1999 we were sub-so-so , going 0-11. We averaged 78,000 per home game in a stadium that seats @80,000 ( can pack in 84,000 standing) Prior to joining the SEC we had a mix of good and really bad seasons. We were invited ONLY because we usually had attendance in the 70,000 range. Last year, Florida blew us out in the first (away game) of our final three Orange Crush games. With top ten Tennnesse and Clemso remaining, it looked like we were not going bowling. However, 79,000 of the home faithful showed up for what was supposed to be a Vol blowout and cheered our underdogs to a massive blowout. Ditto the following week against Clemson ( though attendance for that game is usually near 50/50 black and orange) As Dawn said our fanbase can be crass at times but we are large and loyal. [/QUOTE]
