Interestingly enough, my company had our annual Christmas party on Thursday night at the Fontainbleau on Miami Beach where the team is staying. I ran into a lot of the players and got to brag about my Alma Mater to my coworkers which was really cool.

Go Tigers!

Got to stay at the Fontainbleu a couple of years ago. Awesome place!!!

which local fanbase will we blame if attendence is bad? miami, fau?

there will be 50 threads blaming memphis fans if the liberty bowl attendance is bad

Where's our weather report? That's what I wanna know.

81 with sunny skies mixed with a few clouds.

What do Cubans eat? I may try some if they have sorghum mollasses to put on my cornbread.

espn did a good job

I was told that we had over 3000 Tiger fans there. Looked like we outnumbered BYU, to my surprise & relief.

Even the Salt Lake UT paper said Memphis fans outnumbers BYU fans 2 to 1.....didn't give numbers but said BYU sold approx 3K tickets.

A little late, but if you're still interested below are a few examples:

- Arroz con Pollo - Rice with Chicken. A Cuban staple.
- Picadillo - Ground beef in a tomato sauce.
- Ropa vieja - shredded beef, also in a tomato sauce
- Cuban Sandwich - ham, pork, cheese, mustard and pickles on toasted bread

Most dishes are served with rice, beans, and some sort of plantain.

Lastly, the coffee is great and resembles Italian/European coffees, but sweeter. There are varieties with and without milk.

Most Cubans hate spicy food. And Mexican food is completely different from Cuban food. It wasn't until I moved to Miami until I truly began to appreciate the diversity of various Latin cuisines.

According to someone I talked to from the AOB, we sold around 3,000 tix. At the game, I talked to a BYU fan and he said they sold between 250 to 350 tix. Not only did our team put on a great show but kudos to our band, pom and cheerleaders for doing a great job. BYU's band was embarrassing, looked more like a pep band. Also a great showing, considering it's a long way from home and the game being played 3 days before Christmas, to Tiger nation for representing the way we did. GO TIGERS!!!!

Great job to those who went!

Fans sounded great on TV. Very proud of those who could make it.

I was there and was pleasantly surprised at the number of Tiger fans in attendance. I would guess somewhere close to 4,000 at the game. If we get sent there next year, I will go back...Miami Beach is awesome.

I didnt have to travel to attend, but was super proud of all the Tiger fans there. More than I expected. And we were loud.

the interview with the miami bowl poohba in the miami herald this morning said 21k announced and he fessed up to about half that number in the stands. he wasnt worried about going forward but was very frank about next year being AAC vs CUSA and he would not take FAU or FIU. selling hotel rooms is more important than attendance he said. i was STUNNED with how many memphis folks were there. great turnout on short and inconvenient notice.

Y'all were LOUD...It honestly sounded like a Memphis home game a couple of times.

crowd noise was weird sounding on tv the little bit i've watched. maybe because everyone was sitting under a deck/roof. crowd mics were just odd.

great baseball park, ok for a once a year football game. the surrounding neighborhood makes orange mound look like chickasaw gardens

Anybody hear anything about the youth we bought tickets for?

The 2nd half DAVE THE ANIMAL WOLOSIN alive feed in the stadium should be done every game!!!

I saw the kids wearing Memphis shirts recording a thank you video
