Official paid attendance:  16,556

Score:  Ohio 30, Louisiana 21

 

Post game:

Official paid attendance:  15,225

So I guess I win both the attendance and score derbies...

As for the attendance...the athletic dept tried to encourage attendance of students and Halloween visitors by giving visitors free admittance.  Unfortunately, it didn't appear to help much, though it was a good idea worth trying. 

Though we anticipated down attendance today...the crowd was disappointing.  With nice weather and a team on a four game winning streak, one would expect more. 

Tailgreat Park looked something like Dodge City with tumbleweeds blowing through it. 

BTW, the BBC was in Tailgreat Park doing a documentary on American tailgating and football.  We must not have given them a very good impression re:  numbers.

That being said, things were very good at the Gman's tailgate and the Green and White Club tailgate.  Thanks to all who put these together.
