Getting better, playing harder

We should do well at home from here on out.

We play Bama, ole miss, ark, and Kentucky.

Won't beat Kentucky but could get 2 or 3 home wins.

Not sure we will win any more road games.

We can win at Missouri. They are garbage. Also wouldn't rule out a win at South Carolina.

Good point and even Vandy is a possibility.

We have a great chance to score some road wins. None of them will be easy of course, but at this point there is nothing scary about going to Missouri, Vandy, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

In the SEC:
UT is 2-2 at home.
USC is 1-3 but beating UGA now.*
Vandy is 1-2.
Missouri is 1-3.*
* means one loss is Kentucky.

You left out out Missouri home game which gives us four winnable home games.

Imagine what could occur if the Hump is a sellout...home court advantage has YET been utilized this season. I went to the UofL/UNC game this past Saturday, UofL down 18...crowd got into it, comeback/win.

There is no excuse for not filling the Hump on a Saturday, what else is there to do in Starkvegas?

Go Dawgs!

Need to be recruiting the students more than anyone, if you want this to come true. You are going to have a hard time convincing casual fans to pack out the Hump with the team in the shape it is in, just reality. To do that, I personally think we will have to re-work the seating, which is not happening this year at the very least. I guess what I am saying is that hoping for a home field advantage is a moot point without some winning being done first.

I get what you are saying, but even at it's best, it's hard to compare the atmosphere in the Hump to Freedom Hall/KFC Yum mainly because the product on the floor is always so much better than ours, and atmosphere is a reflection of the team and the opponent, don't you think. I mean, Louisville's down years put them in the 8/9 game. Otherwise, the talent is always there to compete with anyone in the country. We've had two teams in the last 50 years that were that good - 1996 and 2004. There's only so much you can get out of an environment. Thank the Lord we are playing UGA, Vandy and Tennessee and not Duke, Carolina and Notre Dame.

Also - hate to pull this tired argument out but midweek games - Louisville has a population base of 1.2 million people in the metro area. I bet over 1/2 of our season ticket holders live more than an hour away from Starkville.

And full 22k > full 10k.

It sounds like we are disagreeing with KYDog. I'm not. A better environment would help our team, or any team.
