The Bearkats had been an FCS power before moving up to the FBS<\/a>, where things haven’t gone well. Phil Longo fell to 0-6 Thursday night in his first year with the program after losing 29-27 to Jacksonville State.<\/p>\n The program is racing in the wrong direction, and it appears fans aren’t overly interested in attending games anymore. \u00a0<\/p>\n Sam Houston State gets pathetic attendance for latest loss<\/p>\n Due to renovations to the team’s home stadium<\/a>, the Bearkats are playing home games at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston.<\/p>\n The crowd Thursday night was hilariously pathetic. Steve Helwick shared a video of the crowd at kickoff\u2026\u2026and Shell Energy Stadium was pretty much completely empty.<\/p>\n You can check out the footage below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.<\/p>\n The game data posted by ESPN claims 5,419<\/a> were in attendance. Does it look like there were that many people there to you?<\/p>\n It definitely doesn’t appear that way to me. Not even close. That’s one of the most pathetic attendances I’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n It’s also a bit comical seeing how Sam Houston State hired Phil Longo to take over the program\u2026 after he was fired last season by the Wisconsin Badgers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
