Well there were a few Georgia Southern fans go to the Camellia Bowl last year. Of course it was to hold signs and walk in front of USA fans to say we didn't deserve the bowl and GS should have been in the bowl. So you can count me out of the GoDaddy for this year.
I know you wouldn't have typed that if it were not try but it's still hard for me to believe. What a shame..

I'm still trying to figure out why he's all bent out of shape for us talking about bowl attendance in a thread about bowl attendance.

RE: Bowl game attendances
The weather is looking pretty bad right now in Mobile. Heard this morning the Mardi Gras parade has been cancelled which is very disappointing. I think most GS fans who planned to attend will still go in spite of the weather and there should be a reasonably good tun out.

Why would you have a Mardi Gras parade before the Feast of the Epiphany anyway?

You know fur every person that December 23rd is bad for there is someone that day is good for? A lot more people have Christmas vacation off or work is quiet allowing time off. Just because a day is bad for you doesn't mean it's bad fur everyone. If you were going you would have booked the trip way before any accurate weather forecast son
Not buying that. A lot of you were talking sht about App not traveling well...they looked pretty solid to me. Godaddy chose GS because they thought you would travel better than App...making them look like idiots and regretting that decision wouldn't be good. We would have way more than 4000 in Orlando. Our worst attendance would be Montgomery and we would still bring 8k-10k...Orlando is a destination and Florida is south Louisiana people's 2nd home. Everyone wants to always downplay what we do I'm New Orleans but stAte just outdrew a Louisiana school in New Orleans and props to them for doing that. It's just funny all the talk about app not traveling and the godaddy being more prestigious wanted southern because they travel better etc...and some of you are predicting 3500
How are your bowl game ticket sales going this year?
We randomly sold 3501 tickets to all the various bowls....yours?
I'll bet you a six pack of Abita beer you won't have 500 fans in Statesboro next year. Every one talks about traveling fan bases - I have seen two teams travel to Statesboro - Marshall and South Florida. No one else brings more than a few hundred.
I'll take that bet... What are you gonna send me? I can buy abita at the gas station by my house. Do yall have yuengling?
We have Eagle Creek Brewing - I'll send you that if you win the bet. I heard it is made with water from BEC - you'll love it

Yeah, don't know. I suspect just for the bowl festivities. Maybe some of the stAte fans that have been to the godaddy before can shed some light?

We had 10,000 easily.
Yeah that's what I was thinking when I was thinking about this more. They announced 21k there's no way there were 11k there that weren't App fans. So yeah if that attendance is right we EASILY had 10k. We filled our sections and had a considerable number of fans on the Ohio side too.
I don't know how many you had but I do know this:
1. you guys sounded great and had a good crowd
2. tv never really showed the ohio side but they weren't near as loud
3. I can only hope we appear to be as well represented

It's a Mardi Gras style parade for the GoDaddy Bowl. It's not an official Mardi Gras parade.

Since this is your very first bowl I'm not sure why there was any debate about how well you travel to bowls.
Perhaps he was referring to the Access Bowl? My first thought.

Obviously.
Because that would be just wrong.

RE: Bowl game attendances
I can report that if the crowd at Wintzells for the radio coaches show, employee said as a fan group we " kicked ass" his words not mine and the turn out at the pep rally is any indication: GS is doing a good job of showing up for the Belt. Hope so anyway. Still raining...
