If the line for the voting for the HC king and queen is any indication to the amount of students going to the game... The student section would be PACKED!

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust 'em.

Last year the team was 2-4 heading into homecoming against McMurry and attendance was over 13K. You would think with Lamar being 3-3 and after playing SHSU close they'd have a good homecoming crowd against UCA.

That also assumes the average fan keeps up with their progress on the road, which sadly, isn't always the case. Some people only remember the last game they saw at home.
I bet if you asked students who Lamar played the week before Sam, only about 10% may know that it was a bye week, the rest will say they don't know.

Sadly that's probably true. Last year LU had larger crowds at their first two home games than this year so that's a concern.
What is the latest on the weather forecast?
is there any kind of media push in the Golden Triangle regarding homecoming and the game?

I know that was the issue at Sam, they know who is playing in the next game as long as it's a home game, but most of them don't follow along for the whole season.
Hope you have a good turnout regardless.

According to forecasts, looks like it will be a rainy Saturday for homecoming.
Glad I will be in press box for this game. ;D

How do you keep track of all these? You have one for every circumstance it seems like.

I'm well aware how Google works. Thanks.
The NWS forecast I see this morning shows skies clearing after lunch and a 20% chance of rain Sat nite.
GO BIG RED

I like your forecast a lot better than the earlier 70% chance of rain.
