Bill O'Brien, Geno Lewis, and Allen Robinson can do wonders for a true Freshman QB. James Franklin took over in his Sophomore year and he became $hit.

Please for the luv of god a green jersey. And maybe yellow pants. Who cares at this point if they look like GB. Their uniforms are seriously hard on the eyes. Easily the worst uniform in this league or any league ever. Seen way worse unis in my life as a football fan than those. Also the Hotshots uniforms are supposed to mimic the firefighter squad they're named after so I doubt it changes.

dfwabel Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 The reporter for The Memphis Commercial Appeal did not mention attendance in his writeup. I guess they did not give the number to the media. Keep in mind, Memphis was the 3rd city named and that came on May 5. They had over NINE months to sell f'n tickets!.

See Red Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Somebody on Reddit found PFF's pre-draft scouting report on Christian Hackenberg. Among the highlights... Quote There isn’t a more inaccurate quarterback prospect in this draft with a reasonable chance at being drafted. Hackenberg is inaccurate at every level of the field, on all throws and against all coverages. [...] Temple regularly showed six rushers before the snap, came with all of them, and Hackenberg was surprised by the free rusher despite only having five men in the protection. [...] In fact, since he has been the quarterback, Hackenberg has been directly to blame for more sacks than any single lineman blocking for him, and that doesn’t even touch the ones he was indirectly at fault for by being unable to effectively diagnose the pressure looks he was presented with. [...] There was a time when Hackenberg was largely seen as a first-round talent, and it’s taken three seasons of poor play for him to be moved down most draft boards to the Day 2 or Day 3 range. But after evaluating him on tape to go along with three seasons of play-by-play data, I can’t see the case for drafting him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's probably an alternative timeline where James Franklin doesn't run to Penn State after trying to cover up a sexual assault scandal and Hackenberg as a result isn't reduced to a wreck by the time he graduates after years of playing in that trashfire Franklin calls an offense. Presumably Memphis believes it exists in this alternative timeline.

I've been to Browns games with 30,000 or so and had reported crowds near capacity. And yes, the argument made is those tickets were 'distributed' so they count, but that's not what attendance is.

rams80 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I'm just going to throw this crazy theory out there. Perhaps the reason a spring minor football league can't catch on is that people just don't like sitting out in cool wet Smarch weather to watch not quite NFL-level talent play.

GDAWG Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 It's going to be interesting how many people show up for the Atlanta Legends first home game since their stadium holds 23,000 and tomorrow in San Diego. Attendance is going to look very bad for the XFL as well, especially in New York, Seattle and Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NCAA actually has an attendance requirement teams have to meet to stay in the top tier. It's 15,000 per game, I think. So it's pretty common to see programs that don't do all that well fudge the numbers by giving away tickets and then counting those towards paid attendance whether they're used or not (which is probably what the AAF has done). Big programs do it too to make their own numbers look more impressive. I know some will count everybody working in the stadium that day towards attendance.
