Someone got FUBeAR’s dander up with some uninformed commentary (surprising, huh?)…so he did a quick ‘study’ to inform the uninformed Cantamount Fan.
Thought y’all might be interested in the results of the ‘study.’…

I like what you've done there. At the same time, I am skeptical of your 2,345 undergraduate enrollment number for Furman. Is it actually that low? Where is that number from?
So…including a link directly to the source of the data within the original post is insufficient sourcing?
Man, FUBeAR woulda failed your English 12 class worse than he failed Dr. McArthur’s!
I open very few links in UFFP.
In this setting, I prefer for writers to just tell me generally where it came from.
I already spend more time than I should reading or scanning or skimming UFFP; though I believe I spend more time than 99% of Furman fans do, and more than 99.9999% of Furman alumni do
I realize you woulda failed me, and you do "fail" me, for a lot of what I write as well as what I think. It's OK. At the same time, I think and I hope you are just kidding in what you wrote above about my grammar.
To the actual point, I think the 2020-21 enrollment numbers (your link) were comparatively lower than usual due to various factors including the pandemic. More current numbers that I find indicate closer to 2,670. I did not spend time evaluating whether the game attendance numbers were averages for so far this year or whether they were numbers from 2020 or 2021. Don't want to. Excuse my grammar.
FUBeAR did not criticize your grammar, but he might have some concerns about your reading comprehension.
Read this again…slowly and carefully…
“Man, FUBeAR woulda failed your English 12 class worse than he failed Dr. McArthur’s!”
English 12 … actually, it may have been 21…in FUBeAR’s FU years was Literature (not Grammar)…reading classics, writing papers about them, citing other author’s works, other critics’ reviews, etc. Dr. Duncan McArthur was FUBeAR’s Prof for this class and also FUBeAR’s RA @ Montague Village. FUBeAR found a way to get WAY on the wrong side of Dr. McArthur in both of those engagements. But..Dr. McArthur was fair, challenging, yet forgiving and (for better or worse), he became one of many people who have inspired FUBeAR.
So…in case you are still unclear, FUBeAR was saying the English (Lit) Class YOU ARE TEACHING here on the UFFP is tougher than those FUBeAR FAILED at Furman.
All that said…the source is the source. You got a better one, calculate your own ratios. You don’t wanna open my link, don’t open it AND also don’t ask me to tell you where it leads. And the “pandemic” ‘argument’ you make prolly affected all schools similarly…thus rendering the ratios more or less valid.
