Even during the Smoke Laval years, LSU still lead the nation in attendance. Maybe Gamecock baseball fans aren't all that great. Or at least not great enough to justify the size of the stadium.

Yeah, that's a great comparison. Kind of like saying an American president has had a better first 100 days than a president of Rwanda because Rwanda has had more civil wars and journalist beheadings.
Well, actually we don't really know that about Chad either. He wasn't in charge. The real question should be, how long do you let it slide before making a change. Tough decision imo.
Not attending games and not buying concessions is very effective in some places. When Bowden's teams were underachieving, and fans became irritated and impatient, they stopped going to the games. It was noticeable on TV, especially in the upper decks. It does make a point, although it probably doesn't have near the impact at baseball games because most games are not seen on TV, and the TV audience itself is not very large compared to football or basketball.
But how many of them came because of Chad...and how many of them came because Tanner was the HC?
If I had to bet, I know where I'd put my money.
And quite a few older players on those National Championship teams were recruited by Monte Lee.

Maybe that is his calling. Recruiting coordinator not head coach.
Holbrook wasnt named the 10th best recruiter in ALL of college sports by mistake. He brought in the talent and taught them and they won Championships
I asked you this question in another thread. You didn't answer so I'll ask again.
Would you trade Holbrook for Monte Lee?
If not, why?
lol. Hell who knows. Monte Lee is the savior because he didnt get the job. We beat them at their place, lost a 1 run game at Flour and to them at our place. 2 Pretty evenly matched teams. I like Chad and Monte both but I'm not happy Monte went to the enemy.
Evidently you dont understand evenly matched. These games by score could have gone either way even the one we won. But you keep up that fire the coach mantra. Ive watched you do it for years. The best one was fire Spurrier lmao.
I understand scoreboards. You are the one who keeps your thong stuck in your ass. Oh btw, how did Spurrier work out for us? Oh, and thanks for watching me for years. I'm really flattered.
....and you also had your lovefest with Ward, Adams, Elliott, Junior, Botkin, Sands and Hoke. They could absolutely do no wrong until....UNTIL they had destroyed our program.
It was blatantly obvious to everyone except you, pepsi and maybe a couple of other holdouts...and it was "hit you across the face with a 2X4" obvious.
Coaching blunders lost us two evenly matched games and cost us our closer for however many weeks. And yes, I'd have fired Spurrier after he didn't bother to make the one-legged QB move around in our rivalry game. He replaced Ellis Johnson with a guy who was litterally coaching high school after being fired by his alma mater. And promoted a guy who couldn't speak in actual words to replace him a coordinator. Ellis Johnson was the big change for the better in our football program.
If you are going to go by scoreboards, then Holbrook is 7-5 against Monty. But you go on about your business.
A coaching blunder cost us our closer? How about you explain that bud and Kitchens was calling for Spurrier to be fired in his first few seasons and as for replacing Ellis, who was the DC when we won the SEC East? Thats right.
Thats a lie. I defended Ward and Elliott but none of the others. Get your facts straight.
Ellis was the DC....he coached the defense. Ward had the title in name only (just to get a LT contract).
Spurrier worked out great! I enjoyed the 5 years in a row, the SEC East Championship, The record number of wins, Beating Alabama etc... If it was up to your dumb ass he would have been gone. Yes I watched you, it was like watching a train wreck, couldnt look away lol
You defended the whole damned staff! Basically said Spurrier knew what he was doing and if he thought the coaches were fine, so be it.
No Im not. Are you? Who was the DC in 2012. Ward. Where was Ellis Johnson? Stinking up Southern Miss thats where. lol. 11-2 ,6-2 Wait! I know what you will say! It was all Clowney! Right lol
Yeah, the guy who tried to put Clowney in coverage. Brilliant move....geesh. Then there was 2013 and 2014 and then Spurrier had to bring in Hoke to help the failing Ward. Yeah, Ward deserves the credit for the pre-2013 defenses all right.
I tried to respond last week but I guess you have to wait days to respond on the free account. This is how I know a real fan from one who has no skin in the game and is a keyboard warrior. There has never been 10,000 fans at our stadium...NEVER. The record crowd is a tick over 8000. I was there for almost all of our record games. There might have been 5500 to 6000 but not even close to 10000.
Selective memory. Halfway through basketball season we were playing lights out and leading the conference or close to it. It was the last month, when we were playing lethargic and losing 7 of 9 when people started drawing comparisons to last year and questioning the coach's methods. And it was never as consistent or as loud as this....never.
