I forgot to include Jeff Barber on there. I think he's 06 or 07-present.
And obviously there will be a downward trend at the end there.

I had to look back at what you were talking about.
But I thought this was a thread about attendance not discipline. Imagine my suprise and shock that he would try and change the topic! :D

The last 8 years or so are complete lies anyway.

Sorry if thats not the discussion that was wanted here, but it has been a complete lie.

Out attendance numbers have always been..interestingly tallied. However, the last couple of years they have done a much better job putting a counting system in place.

If I may just state, yes this years number stink (around 1500) but remember we played a ton of home games during thanksgiving and Christmas breaks (and 2k sports)

Plus one of those "home" games was not only over break, but at Randy Mac.

Anyone who was here during the mid to late 90s doesn't need to look at the numbers to know that the attendance and overall atmosphere at the Vines was at a whole different level than it has been lately.

Did he have discipline problems?
Please don't get me started on that. Your buddy was up to his neck in bringing those "discipline problems" to LU. In one case TWICE.

With all due respect, sir, I only smoke the finest cigars. However, I do need new glasses. I looked at the wrong game and attendance :D

In what way?

They lied when RD was there and said the attendance was MUCH lower than it actually was and ever since they give better numbers than is actually there. Everyone that attends knows it. You are looking around the gym saying "Theres about 600-900 here" and they say there is over 2,000. Its a joke and lie.

I Remember this same conversation at the Firehouse. I will re-post my idea...lasers!! Some engineering or comp sci major could make this happen...You put two of those beams at each door...You'll know by the order of the beams breached if a person came in or out. You network the lasers...and at halfime, you could post the largest amount of people in the building at one time as attendance. Plus it sounds cool...Tonight's Liberty Red laser attendence is...
