everything to do with winning and the quality of opponents coming into LES.
Just wait for this season and the Utah opener....I guarantee the student section will be packed to the top and the game will be a sell out or close to it. It will be loud and crazy and no one will be blaming families with little kids or our fans for being lame.
If BYU shows up and wins and continues a winning tradition, you will see LES slowly return to what it has been in the past every game (Luke Staley game vs Utah, Taysom game vs Texas, Miami game, etc) especially with our home schedule this year.
The atmosphere has little to nothing to do with our fans and everything to do with opponent and winning.
