We had two games last year listed with a higher attendance than the Texas game yesterday, that is surprising to me.

---

Chalk it up to a holiday game. While the students showed up in an impressive way I can only imagine how packed it would have been while school is in session.

---

Surprising, the place was full to the top row of seats. Could have squeezed more in but did not seem like there were 1000 empty seats. I would have estimated 300-400 under full capacity.

---

I was also pleasantly surprised that there were only a few Texas fans there.

Agree, hardly noticeable, I was surprised

Don't like working so quick trip down memory lane to 2007-2008, when we set our highest average attendance of 10,343:

18-4 at home, 22-9 overall and 8-8 in conference before post season. Coming off Sweet 16 appearance prior year (lost to Memphis 64-65)

McNeese State 73-50 9276 (strong out of gate)
Oral Roberts 67-53 8442 ("NIT Season Tip Off")
UTEP 81-76 8429 ("NIT Season Tip Off")
Ouachita Baptist 85-59 8237 ("NIT Season Tip Off")
Alabama 76-63 10328
Texas State 109-73 9879
Arkansas Pine Bluff 64-37 7789
Detroit 79-39 8912
UC Irvine 88-66 8064
Florida A&M 83-54 8089
Rice 68-41 8702
LSU 79-53 12255 (Jan 5)
Colorado 86-69 12634
Baylor 110-116 5 OTs 12234
Texas 80-63 13555 (!)
OU 60-52 13158 (!)
OK State 54-59 13584 (!)
Nebraska 59-65 11207 (home loss to OSU, followed by big loss @UT, cost us some fans? Then this game was 3rd straight loss)
TX Tech 98-54 10032
Kansas 55-72 12054

This gives me an average of 10,681 from the box scores on 12thman.com, the 10,343 I put in OP was from an NCAA attendance site - not sure why there is a discrepancy.

We were robbed of 13K vs Texas this year with the students being on break.

Wish we didn't have the two 11:00 am kickoffs though.....especially the UT game.

I booked the Bastrop resort last night for that Friday night February 14th. Valentines Day!

My wife and I will be at Reed bright and early for the Arkansas 11am tip.

On the other hand it allows for people to come in for day trips.
