Does Vandy travel well?

I just wish we could all be in our seats by Wreck Time. Maybe we should return the student section to the lower East corner and bring back flash cards?
I agree. Me and My Dad are there as soon as they open the gates, I hate seeing half the stadium empty 10 minutes til Kickoff, but I guess every Atlanta sports team has a late arriving crowd.

Yeah, Vandy isn't bringing a crowd. I don't know that many of the Vandy fans/grads in the metro Atlanta area will want to come. They've been bad the last two years.
Mercer fans have been filling their stadium. It's not the biggest but there is a ton of enthusiasm among their fan base. That could top 50K easily.
Since so many Ga. Southern fans live in or are from metro Atlanta, that will be a big turnout. I'd be surprised if there are any seats left open for that. Now, it's the third of four straight road games for the Eagles . But they had a big showing of a turnout in Athens last year and they braved the rain in Mobile for the GoDaddy Bowl last year. I really don't know how good this new coaching staff is (I have heard very conflicting stories) but crowd won't be a problem.

I would not be surprised if both games sold out.
Sold out and showing up....Two different things...I mean I hope the games sell out for $$ reason....However I was at the Tulane game last year and they say 50k was in the house....Obviously that was tix sold...Maybe 40K to 45K showed...it was disappointing..

I never cared for Franklin and feel like he took a few players we normally got. That said, I would have liked to have saw what he could've done with Vandy if he stayed a few more years.
