Don’t get me wrong it obviously wasn’t TS anywhere near its best but it was a decent sized crowd given the early start and an average opponent not named Bama that for the most part stayed the whole game! It was my first trip back to TS in many years and from what I’ve been seeing on tv and mostly hearing what it’s like these days from posters on this board my expectations were really low. But I was pleasantly surprised by the energy and noise produced. It was fun and a decent send off for JD5 in my opinion.

And I stayed until the clock was 0:00, made the 15 minute walk to my truck, and was in free flowing traffic in 10 minutes.

I know night games are an article of faith around here but I really don't mind day games.

Would have been exponentially better with better D play.

I was too

Took my son to the game, got in our seats about 10am. About 20min before kick it didn’t look good, embarrassing actually. Then 5 min before, filled up quickly. Definitely no where near a night game, but it started rocking in 2nd half. .

I had not been to Tiger stadium in a few years, I agree the crowd was solid. Most glaring thing to me, we need a new speaker system in that stadium!

It was still nowhere near capacity, so many open seats. However, it sounded full capacity on those few key defensive stops. Defense brings the noise, plain and simple. Always has, always will.

Well said. I go every home game so glad to hear a positive comment.

It wasn’t last year vs Bama but a great crowd and game.

That is very good to hear. I would have hated to see a sparse crowd on senior day.

I was on the west side. It seemed like it didn’t get full until midway through the 1st quarter. But I agree it was rocking once the people were fully awake.

Everybody likes to say the crowds suck these days

It’s completely untrue

It’s all a bunch of “back in my day”

I was surprised at how many students were there considering that it was the Thanksgiving holidays. Pretty good crowd under the circumstances.

It honestly was a great crowd. I usually only get to go to one game a year. I was disappointed about the 11am start and how bad the defense was, but man I was I proud how Tiger Stadium showed up.

That was a fun game. I sat lower in the North EZ than I had ever before. I loved how the noise was shaking the beer in the cup in my Hand. I had great fun with my family and all my fellow Tiger fans! There many high fives to be had.

We were loud, proud, and amazing players made amazing plays. It was a great send-off for JD#5!

I was talking with friends today, I was talking about the crowd, I too was impressed!
Even late in the game, a good group.

I ended up meeting friends at the Varsity. By the time I went back to my truck, straight shot to the house.

As it turns out there are still a lot of fans in the stadium that kind of sound like posters here. There were some older guys sitting around me and they’d say a lot of things I’d see on here which kept me in stitches. Lots of criticism of the defense(no surprise) but one guy was overhead saying: “if we just had the second worse defense in our history, we’d be playing for a title”. That one. Add me lol.
