The 2026 season kicked off in Nashville vs 9th ranked, Ole Miss. I must say, I’m very impressed with the attendance. I thought it would be like a bowl game attendance somewhere in the neighborhood of 24-28,000 people. When I walked out onto the field and saw how full the stadium was on both sides, I was amazed. Over 57,000 fans. Both teams traveled very well and the red really stood out. Much Love, Card fans!
As for the game, first half was boring an uneventful. Like 2 prize fighters feeling each other out, looking for a spot to take their shot. The 2nd half was all fireworks. My only complaint is the self inflicted penalties and mistakes. But those can be cleaned up and once they are, we have something special here.
