Regarding attendance -- There were a lot of empty seats at kickoff, but the crowd filled in nicely. I thought it was a good crowd. Go back and look at attendance for Stanford-Arizona games in the last 10-12 years. Arizona consistently draws 30K to 33K (with the exception of the first year in the new stadium, when we had a one-time boost from the new stadium). Tonight, we had a much bigger crowd -- over 43K. Way more people than we get for Arizona normally. They were late-arriving, and it wasn\'t a sellout, but it was a good, active crowd, and there was a good feel in the stadium. Much different from two weeks ago against WSU. Attendance is growing. We\'re making progress. As I\'ve posted a number of times, it takes a while for attendance patterns to change. It\'s not going to happen all at once just because Ted Miller thinks it should. But we\'re getting there. I don\'t give a darn what Ted Miller thinks.
