Scheduling a traditional rival like AU was a huge mistake, especially with a game against Miss St this week that could have easily been the Homecoming game. Homecoming games have a history of being notoriously passive from a fan's stand point. Many casual fans come to this game purely for social aspect and to visit with former friends and classmates. In general these games never have a rowdy crowd. Therefore you should never schedule one of your main rivals in this game because the crowd tends to be lame. Miss State would have been the perfect homecoming opponent.
I'm not sure who makes that call -- President's office or Alumni Relations but they screwed up here.
Couple that with the hurricane damage in South Georgia and it was the perfect storm (pun intended) for a sucky crowd.
