Let's see how real and faithful Carolina fans are

[king ward]

Yes, wasn't Ron Franklin eating pumpkin pie in a Cockaboose?

Don't remember about that, but they showed the inside. There was a waiter serving the owners. Ron Franklin had the call on the game, though.

After reading responses, my theory is validated. Back in the day the fans showed up no matter what and I mean no matter what. I think there are a lot of factors....TV coverage and better quality TVs, instant social media coverage and streaming, and just a loss of interest and loyalty to your school. And it's certainly not just us.

Yep, I remember those days. I was one of those loyal fans, while I didn't get to attend every game I attended every game that I could, considering I worked about half the Saturdays in those days. And I would agree with you as to the reason (s) for the decline in attendance.

 

[Freddie.B.Cocky]

I don’t miss home games

Boy, you are one true fan, congratulations to you.

 

[Freddie.B.Cocky]

Well, regardless of attendance I just hope the team comes out ready to play. Would be extremely embarrassing to lose to the Zips after we played quempsum very close.

maybe they will haul out the cardboard fan-cut-outs from "The Program" to fill the stands.

even if the Clemson game had been a blowout, it would be embarrassing to lose to the Zips!

Granted.

 

[Gaimcock]

It was definitely at a game in the early 90's.

Dude I was at the game in question, in the student section. Yes, I was very inebriated!! =;-p

Hence, no recollection of which blimp was there!!

 

[Horseshoe 04]

Boy, you are one true fan, congratulations to you.

I was raised right

 

[spook spook]

Rain in the forecast won't help attendance either.

neither will Akron as the opposition.

Dried out Sponge Bob

Boy, you sure were.

What’s the back story on why that was scheduled on Thanksgiving? Also a weather makeup? Made for TV Thanksgiving extravaganza? Harder to schedule 11 “OOC” opponents back in the independent days?

I was alive back then, but my memory of this game and why it was played on that date is missing.

Are you not alive now? Oh my gosh....we have a ghost post!!!!

 

[ExpatCarolinian]

Yes, I was at that game. We played them after they played Notre Dame and before they played Oklahoma. Talk about a trap game. We almost pulled it off.

Watch No.9 for Miami hit Todd from behind at the :24 mark. A hit to the head like that would draw at least a one game suspension these days.

Maybe that dirty hit is the reason Todd thinks there is a 55 yard line.

 

[USCBatgirl21]

It was a good crowd and we won and they showed the inside of a Cockaboose on TV. One of Sparky's better wins, actually, besides the one at Georgia.

We went to the game that day. I want to say we did a Lowcounty Boil for our Thanksgiving meal.

Remember when people tried to say this was the best and most loyal fanbase in America?

Honestly, the worst thing that could happen to that did. Those 3 11-win seasons, and the 5- peat, killed the "we'll show up no matter what" idea.

If that's how they feel there's a local IPTAY Newspring that will be glad to take their donation!
