It will be interesting to see how the game keeps selling, now that only upper deck seats are available. If USF would have won the UConn game setting up a BE championship i think we could have sold 60,000 but now ill say 45,000+ could be a very good showing and would put our season avg over 40,000

I must say that I am impressed with your attendance this year.

Sucking up will NOT get you invited into the BE any faster.

How is that sucking up? We got a major jump in attendance this year. Coming from a fan base like ECU's it's a pretty good compliment too. They're a loyal following in bad years even. I don't know how much their stadium holds, but as Skip Holtz continues there they might need to expand it (if they aren't already). I'm not going to pretend I know anything else about the program, but I do know they have some great fans and some tradition in football.

Geez...it was just a friggin' joke. I'll spell it out for you: ECU wants in the BE...so they compliment USF on your attendance increase in hopes of currying favor when the next round of expansion occurs; I used that knowledge to make a friendly joke with the ECU poster.

USF is to be congratulated on its improved attendance...but how about also not taking yourselves so seriously.

That's what I get for not reading carefully, although I doubt what anyone says here will affect the BE invites .

Most teams not in other BCS leagues would go to the BE. Even in the worst case scenario, its a good league with better payouts. We're looking like we can keep our autobid, too.
