Gotcha. I didn’t know earlier post was referring to that song. Thought it might be the lynard skynard one.Dixieland delight is set in Tennessee and the areas beauty is also a focal point but the song is about hooking up with country girl.

“On a Tennessee Saturday night…”
UGA's sellout streak is >70. How does that compare to the rest of the SEC?The perception of our program/fanbase, etc. has just taken a hit the last 15 years whether we like it or not. That's why we so frequently have these posts where these subjective lists from people outside our fanbase bubble don't rank us as high as we like. The continuous reversals of fortune we have suffered, by the flagship program of football for any major university, for a decade and a half, will do that. The only cure is consistent winning. We can regain our former respect, but it's going to take time.
That post shows a lack of knowledge about Texas A&M.Texas A&M seems like a superficial fanbase. It's like some Mega millionaire put alot of money into a program and built them overnight.
They don't have the history and legacy to be considered. They essentially profited from years of being the only SEC team in Texas and were able to build a juggernaut. But, they don't have legacy fans like true SEC teams do.
I was at Notre Dame in 2017. We had about 40,000 there. Tickets were going for $1500. Fortunately a good friend is a ND alum and season ticket holder. He got me the tickets at face value, $130.But it’s easy when you’ve been good.
Isn’t the true test of a “fanbase” all about how they show up, travel, but tickets/merch, etc, even when the product on the field isn’t at its best?
But when its the same teams that continously have all time low records, it says something about their fanbase. Florida is the other team I am referring to.
UGA has got the 2nd lowest all-time Outback Bowl attendance record as well.
Your fanbase isnt measured on 1 game every 40 years.
