I meant Cincy's ticket sales. how awful.Originally posted by Mormon Red Death View Post
and for the school to claim that it was excellent is even more pathetic.
I would not be surprised if we saw LOADS of empty seats at the pre-Orange Bowl. I am talking thousands, not hundreds. Look for very few crowd shots. on top of that, imagine if one team starts blowing out the other? You could be looking at 25K fans in the stands in the second half of a BCS bowl game. fugly.Fitter.

form the 12/10 cincinatti enquirerOriginally posted by TripletDaddy View Post
This morning, Athletic Director Mike Thomas said UC had sold 7,000 or so of its 17,500 ticket allotment. Virginia Tech had only sold a little over 4,000. There's a lot at stake for UC and those bowl ticket sales. A lot of money is at stake this year and in the future. The school is on the hook for the two million dollars worth of tickets. If they don't sell out, bowl committees take note.Last edited by Mormon Red Death; 12-18-2008, 10:32 AM."Be a philosopher. A man can compromise to gain a point.

interesting, but what exactly are the bowl committees noting? Both of those schools are there because they are auto-bid recipients. Every year, the champion of the BCS conference gets an auto-bid, regardless of potential ticket sales. What are the bowls going to do....not invite the conference champion?Originally posted by Mormon Red Death View Post
I think the thing that would bust the BCS the fastest would be to have lackluster BCS teams win their conference championships.
I predicted earlier that the Alabama/Utah game would likely have the second lowest ratings of the 5 BCS games. I think I will go on record that the Orange Bowl will have the worst ratings. in all honesty, I don't see why the BYU/Arizona matchup is any less compelling than the Orange Bowl matchup.Fitter.

I don't know that I agree. We went over to the Tulsa game last year and BYU fans brought easily 10,000 to that game. That wouldn't have happened with Utah. Mormons will travel to go see BYU play in greater numbers than Utah.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post
BYU will sell out it share of whatever BCS bowl it gets into, no matter where it is. And then some.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
