That student section and overall crowd was a billion times better than last playoff game. For a cold night during finals week, that was nothing short of amazing.

Offensive looked amazing and we held a high scoring offense to like 15 points less than they have in previous games.

This team really looks like they can make a run. They believe. Every touchdown they were dancing.

This game is a GREAT one to have had for a national audience. Big for the program.

the last day of finals but same thing.

What was the announced attendance?

For those at the game, did they make an announcement about a game next week? I imagine many would not know.

Yes they did

Hell yeah!

8525 per the team website. Worst home attendance of the season but a 35% improvement over last year's 6317

2pm

I think they will take it considering the switch to a night game one week into sales, the cool weather by CA standards, a opponent from across the country without a huge Montana type fan base, and before finals.

The CAA has this info posted too but not ESPN.

pretty awesome honestly, felt louder than that too. The student section was PACKED

It was a great game! Nice turnout. Wonder what the final attendance # was.

That team was 14th in total defense and we made them look like a junior college. Confidence booster for a deep run.

8,525

you should recruit some students to come and post here too. Good procrastination tool for finals.

Pysk walking fine?

8500 paid? There were maybe 6500 there

Psyk was walking with a limp after he came out of the game. I sure hope we don't lose him.

said it’s his hammy, should be fine just probably not practicing this week

Hamstrings can be a nagging injury that's slow to heal if it's a bad pull. Trendt Carrade also left the game with a shoulder injury. I hope we have him and Psyk for the Illinois State game. Losing those two would be a serious hit to the D line.

let’s just say I know quite a few lurkers haha, it seems like the boards have been getting more students checking it out!

Speaking of students, crowd was hilarious today! Aggie pack seems much stronger these last 2 years

Jaden few left with the shoulder so they’ll be thin at D end in practice I’m sure

Also I wonder if Rhode Island fans still think they deserved the 8 seed over us

The whole stadium was having fun tonight. Lots of dancing in the crowd during the commercial breaks with the music pumping. I thought the announcing and the music were great throughout the game. It felt good to get up and move to the music just to keep a little bit warmer! It one of the coldest Aggie games I've been to. The fog just sets down a chill.

it sure was cold. I had thermals and multiple layers and still had to buy a blanket at the half. I don’t know how those guys in the Aggie pack stayed shirtless for so long!
I think the cold temps did scare a few from attending but for the ones who attended all seemed to having a blast.

It was definitely cold but at least it wasn't windy. That would have been much worse.

Coach is happy!

I was super proud of the students. They were loud and it looked like they were having a lot of fun. The “you can’t do that” chant cracked me up.

Great game and good atmosphere. Turned out I had a seat behind Mitch Dixon’s parents. Students were loud. Had to educate the cow dressed students that they were Holsteins. Loved the smell of alfalfa and cow barns near tailgate - sticking to the ag roots. Serendipitous moment when walking back to my motel I helped a stranger get directions and it turned out to be the Rhode Island University president. He was in the UC Davis faculty earlier in his carrier. Nice low-key guy. Turns out we were in the same motel.

Defense really stiffened in the second half. Pinnick is so talented and elusive - really turned to his legs when needed and threw some nice balls.
