It appears to Norm that the weather could not be better. This equals the best possible outcome for people to show. Possible 71 at beginning of the game to about 66 at end of game (As it stands now). As to bottoms in the stands it will not be a bunch of empties due to season ticket sales. The tickets are going to be actually filled by people buying to come to the game. People are not going to over buy for the game (or at least by much). Norm says that there will be 24,213 tickets for this game (including all 243 Tealbird fans). Not bad for short notice and without a longer period of sales. Norm's point is that this crowd would be a 27000 plus if during the regular season. Lastly Norms estimate at the end of game score. Teal Chandelier/Chicken cross bred birds: 17 MEN OF TROY 42
Norm says you can bank on this even if McCall is playing because the weather is a gift for Troy to display its dominance and The Teal chandelier/Chicken cross bred birds decline.

Sounds like another perfect day on campus. Our last football day on campus for 2022.

I am at work but I called Norm and asked: Where the heck is this rain coming from? He looked up at me with his sad little snout and said: Look at me I am rolling around in the dirt eating ants and for some reason you think I can forecast the weather. Poop happens."
A real bummer to have a 60% chance of rain now verses sun and temps as they were. Bizarre is all you can say and never trust an immigrant from the Cincinnati Zoo to predict the weather!!!

PS: Norm says the chance of rain will only be 36% during the game. Of course I asked how he was sure. Said he took a nap on his Giza dream sheets and Mike Lindell came to him in a dream and told him” Not quite been the same since the Normalina experience!

I’m beginning to think “Norm” needs to lay off the ‘shrooms.

I really believe that we will do better than the ULM game and actual was around 15500 to 16000. Our students are around and it is going to be the only game dealing with Alabama schools and be pretty warm. Hopefully

Judging by the tickets still available... there will be quite a few empty sections.
Could be a slightly embarrassing turnout for national TV. Hopefully the students come out in full force and have to use up some extra seating... that will help.

With 12-13 thousand season ticket holders and so of those being corporate it’s going to be tough to get 20 thousand. If the game were in coastal it wouldn’t break 10 thousand.

The sun not shining brightly doesn't bode well for Rock-a-Doodle U.
Secure any "adequate pipes" and things are looking good for us today.
(Props to anyone who gets the reference)

If the hundreds of people milling around between the upper and lower decks (where concession stands are located) + the ones standing at the end zone on both sides would put their fanny in the seats, it would look full!
But football games are different these days, many fans come to socialize rather than sit and watch the game. I encourage fans to come out from the shadows, catch some vitamin D, and watch the game!

Oh and by the way, officially a 35% chance of rain means that 35% of the area will receive some precipitation. It just so happened we were pretty much in that 35% most of night with light stuff. But it sure was fun!!!!

All 35% of that rain fell on Veterans Memorial Stadium and there weren't any ponchos to be had in the entire stadium. It was a soggy game for me.

21554 the announced. Due to the actual sales it was proabably pretty accurate. Of course on TV always showing visiting side looks a little less and particularly with the rain.

The conference must have done the counting. If that was a normal game we would have reported 25k. 🤪

So, without corporate tickets sold this game had actual tickets sold (or very close) to actual butts for the seats. You are right if that had been a regular game 25000 would probably been about right.

Norm did pretty well with temperatures a little off on rain. He chose 42-17 so not off too much there. A little over on tickets but nailed the 243 teal chicks fans
