It was a nearly empty stadium.Didn't sound like he was Trolling "Rocky Top" to me. Said it was just as loud as Rocky Top.

If you want to LOL, imagine this advice being given to a McIlwain team, especially"work on the shorter/ mid-distance routes".Some observations:
1. The Apollos need to find a stouter defensive line
2. Find a balance between running and throwing (D'Ernest Johnson is a pretty good runner)
3. Work on the shorter/mid-distnce routes.
I believe an occasional pass is still acceptable if it's short.I was told the forward pass isnt in style anymore.
ok, I get it now.....The attendance was 29,176 in the Alamodome, a 72,000 seat stadium. So Spurrier is saying that it was about as loud as the Vols 100k+ seat stadium, but not as loud as the Swamp.
Sounds like trolling the Vols to me. :)
I attended yesterday with my wife! Tickets were cheap and we live nearby, so it felt like a no-brainer to see SOS coach in person. We decked ourselves out in Florida gear, but we weren't alone... there were a TON of Florida fans there.
All in all, I thought it was a great experience. The last time I saw Spurrier coach in person was 2010 in the Swamp, and he kicked our asses. So this was definitely more fun. The faster pace of the game is actually nice, and despite the rules changes it still feels like proper football (unlike that gimmicky Arena crap). And it was great to see football in a normally football-starved part of the year.
I'll probably be back for a couple more games this AAF season, and I really hope the league succeeds. They are a fun diversion in the real football off season.
