Bowl attendance

[CagerMania]

I’m pretty surprised by that blimp shot of the Gator Bowl. I thought Tamu would travel stronger than that. We definitely had more at the first and third we went to. Vs Northwestern was pretty sad, for obvious reasons.

Anyway, I hope we show out tomorrow.

I was surprised too. They’re all so tightly packed, makes it look a little worse.

Southern Ms. is in the house?

That is indeed a horrible showing by TAMU compared to potential.

"First Florida Bowl since 1957" was the tagline, right? I expected them to fill up at least a third of the bowl with their brand of maroon.
Great weather, NFL facility....now I'm curious to see the box score with the official attendance.

Especially since that 7 overtime LSU game that supposedly energized their fan base. And we are always told that Texas A&M has like 600,000 on campus students at College Station and around Eleventy Billionz alumni who will gladly travel to Saturn to watch their Aggies play.***

Announced attendance was 55,204. Not bad actually. By comparison, the announced attendance for our Gator Bowl game against Louisville last year was 41,310.

We were so happy to be out of the Croom wilderness, we would have brought 20,000 to Antarctica to play Fresno State

Announced attendance by AP. Just read recap article that said the official attendance was 38,206 - the smallest at the Taxslayer/gator bowl since 1952. Really surprising that the 2 schools didn’t travel better than that.

I think most of you miss the point that bowls just don't mean as much as they once did. Once, a bowl game was a reward for a great season. Now, at least as power-5 conferences go, bowls are for anyone that has a break even season. Bowls are now rewards for mediocracy. The college football playoffs have also taken a lot of luster off of the bowl games.

 

[FlotownDawg]

Yeah. Apparently the 55,000 I saw was wrong. The 38,000 is what’s on the ESPN box score. That’s pathetic on both school’s part,m. Especially A&M, which is supposed to have this super fanatical fan base.

I have a hunch MSU fan attendance will be slim tomorrow as well for the reasons Cooldawg mentioned.

That’s strong, wiki says 78k for the Jacksonville super bowl in 2005. That needs yo be on the first line of our bowl resume.
