We are way outnumbered in Tampa..

[57stratdawg]

5 to 1 is my guess

 

[dawgstudent]

In a group text where someone said the MSU crowd has increased tremendously today. Thinks everyone waited to come today.

From walking around Busch Gardens today, which might be zero indication of the game crowd, it seemed like 5 to 1 MSU.

 

[Southern Law Dawg]

I'm at the parade right now. 2 to 1 us, easy.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Are you at the Iowa pep rally?**

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

I am at the Grand Hyatt. There are a lot of MSU folks here.

 

[AlCoDog]

They must just know where all the good restaurants are.

57Strat thread.

 

[goodknight]

At my hotel and while at the beach I saw more MSU fans than Iowa. Guess we’ll find out tomorrow

 

[RocketDawg]

Looks like they're having a bit of a heat wave.

 

[Clarence Boddicker]

57Strat thread.

Hahahaha yep

 

[Forrest4Moore]

At the parade it was easily 2-1 maroon. If not 3-1. Every where we’ve been it’s been much of the same.

 

[57stratdawg]

I didn’t go to the parade. Riverfront and Davis Island way heavy with IU.

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

I didn’t go to the parade. Riverfront and Davis Island way heavy with IU.

Damn. Why are so many Indiana fans in town?

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

Taking a small sample and drawing big conclusions. A SPS tradition unlike any other.

 

[Villagedawg]

2nd mortgages on trailers take a few days to close.

 

[dickiedawg]

Someone said the same thing on Genes Page yesterday but that's not been my experience. Iowa has a very respectable presence for as far away as it is but we definitely brought more.

 

[Drebin]

I was at the parade as well. We definitely had more there. Those damn blue hairs weren't very loud though.**

And whoever was on the mic for us during the pep rally... you're fired. Seriously, dude.

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

Not as concerned who has more fans in the stadium at kickoff. I just want a huge advantage by start of the 4th quarter.

 

[MSUDawgFan86]

5 to 1 is my guess

Well Harvest is over so the Iowa Farmers don’t have **** to do right now. Many State folks still have to work.

 

[Dr. Funke.sixpack]

Taking something small and acting like it’s big you say?**

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

+1

1999 Peach Bowl. Tons of "Clempson" fans up until 4th quarter when they realized a 17-7 lead was insurmountable against the #1 Defense in the country, then they left in droves and I got to prop my feet up in front of me and put my Chic-Fil-A sandwich and beer beside me.

 

[00Dawg]

It wasn't 5-1 at Battle of the Bands....

but I'd say that might be an understatement for the rest of the park. We walked a LOT around Busch Gardens today, and it might've gotten to 10-1 in some long stretches.

 

[Forrest4Moore]

It’s at least 600-1 at the Downtown Hilton right now.

 

[JacksonDevilDog]

I flew in from NOLA and arrived at 9:15pm and my flight probably had 25 State fans. Lots are coming down today from what I hear.

 

[HotMop]

In my hotel it is mainly State fans and one loud mouthed Iowa ****.

 

[ToxicTimberDawg]

Pics?

Damnit, my wife is crawling my *** for no video.

 

[msu84grad]

Embassy Suites at USF... manager told me MSU fans hold 2/3 of available rooms. A lot of "Hail State"s going around here...

 

[Digging dog]

Parade last night was stronger State. Or maybe the cowbells made it feel that way.

 

[Hail State]

I saw many more State fans at Disney World. We’re driving over this morning.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Man I bet that was brutal yesterday. My wife saw this on Instagram

[kired]

Not sure how it looks on tv, but from my seat I’d say there are ever so slightly more Iowa fans here. But it’s pretty damn even. I’m surprised they travel so well for a bowl they’ve been to a ton of times and so far away.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Judging from what I’ve seen on tv it’s fairly even.

.

It is hard to tell on TV because almost every fan cut away shot has been IA fans.

 

[Go Budaw]

I’m here and its probably 51 / 49 Iowa.....only bc their EZ seats are slightly more full. That was their university allotment (and ours).

 

[57stratdawg]

It’s 60-40 Iowa. I’m honestly pretty impressed with their turnout.
