Sweet.

If you can, let us know what the crowd is like. I wanna see if any WSU/WVU fans stuck around.

It actually works out for really hard-core fans that the game is late tonight. West Virginia fans and Maryland fans are probably long gone, and it gives time for a drive all the way from KY to Cleveland today.

Take over, Big Blue Nation ! ! ! Roll in like the sea and flood the place ! ! !

Go 'Cats ! ! !

BBN is everywhere in Cleveland. Its gonna be a home game for the Cats tonight.

I saw a national writer tweet out earlier that America might be rooting for ND but Cleveland was a full of Blue for the game.

I called it right after the late 9 pm tip or so was announced.
I measured the variables:
A. Cleveland is driving distance from Kentucky.
B. 2 of the other 3 teams would sale tickets and go home.
C. Late tip Sat night would give Cat fans plenty of time to drive up this morning and afternoon.

i said twice as many Cat fans for this one and I imagine I should have said 5x as many as Thurs nite!

Blue gets in!

We're staying out in Beachwood and have met a lot more BBN than Thursday and locals are asking "why so many UK people, is something going on?"

Tha being said I have seen a lot ND people here too.

Lol at "is something going on?"
you should have said "yes, freaking Woodstock!"

I believe it will be much better today. Not many are going to travel up for Thursday. Had our game been on Friday it may have been much different.

This sums up pretty much how I feel. Thanks to everyone going. Cheer Loud.

I was here Thursday and today. Definitely seeing more blue than Thursday

Just checked in to my room at the Hampton Inn on 9th Street. Seen plenty of blue, a total of 4 ND fans

Mrs took the granddaughter to a matinee this morning. Couple people in UK gear talking to a lady in the line. Guess they had dropped her off to meet up with someone to watch the movie and then they were heading to Cleveland for the game. A couple and 2 of their friends. Of course I imagine the same thing is happening around South Bend but hopefully more UK fans are hitting the highway.
For basketball...BBN trumps the ND fanbase I would think. Now football............

NICE.

Hearing Ryan and Drew say that there are quite a few ND fans. Matt saying we still should have more fans but it's not by a lot.

ND fans are in all parts of the country, so I think the combination of ND fans and and anti-UK fans will make somewhere around a 60/40 split in favor of UK tonight. Maybe a little higher, closer to 70/30.

But mainly football fans...Big Blue descends like locust again.
