Not the season we Weber fans where hoping for, but an exciting season none the less, a season for the record books.

The only thing wrong with the video is the 9,000 attendance average, it was closer to 7,000

Why do ppl lie about simple attendance???

It might not even be a deliberate lie on the part of the video producers. A problem is definitions. Do you go by butts actually in the seats or tickets sold? Many schools use freebies to drum up attendance (not the least of which are player/coach Will Call tix), and there's always the debate about whether or not to count those. While that might not accout for a 2K difference, it COULD be a factor.

There have been times where crowds have appeared bigger or smaller than they actually were, We played UNC in Stewart Stadium when we went into 4 overtimes, and Both sides of Stewart Stadium were packed, and with a Stadium capacity of almost 18,000, both sides of our football stadium have to hold at least 8K each, well our announced attendance for that game was only 7,219.

And then you have a game this last year vs Montana State at home in a blizzard and there is hardly anybody there and the announced attendance was 6,505
