That was before we started losing at a historic rate that year, when there was still some level of optimism. The problem is the product, and the lack of expectations. You will notice that for example when we beat #5 Florida at home in SEC play back when we were still competing on a national level we drew 15,061 which is maximum capacity. Arkansas was also a sellout, Vandy was a sellout, Ole Miss was > 14,000, Bama was 13,900, LSU was 14,200, etc.
