I would hate to see a match up with App State at the cure bowl. That would be a very difficult game for the Bulls. They play with energy and their fans get into the game

And let us not forget, boys and girls...Mister "WoolyBully" Robinson has an Appalachian State T-shirt rolled up in this dresser that he sports ever so often. So we can't rule out...

Also, this just landed in my inbox:

"Good Morning,

 We have an amazing opportunity for all HCPS employees and their families to attend the Gasparilla Bowl at Raymond James Stadium on Thursday, December 20th for FREE!

 There is also FREE transportation from central locations throughout the county and FREE pre-game food and activities, hosted by Thaddeus Bullard, AKA WWE Superstar Titus O’Neil.

 To reserve tickets, please respond no later than Thursday, December 6th 

 Multiple/family tickets may be reserved as a group under one email or individually reserved.  Tickets must be printed on paper to access the game. All minors must be accompanied by an adult caregiver/family member and must have the attached ESPN waiver signed by a parent/guardian.

 Please send this email to all HCPS employees within your department.

 Thank you"

BONUS FUN FACT: HCPS employees right at 40K. So if this is open - and accepted by each and every employee (not counting family members) this would look incredible on the tee-vee, huh? Or it could be an admission of just how interest for this venture is panning out. I wouldn't be surprised if the same offer were not extended to HCSD, TPD, TFD, HCFD as well as all them enlisted and officer ranks on South Dale Mabry. Gotta get bodies somewhere.

Which I'd like to think makes a statement about interest in this particular venture. 

 

 

Not uncommon for lower level bowls.  Especially ones in 65K seat stadiums

Just taken aback by not just admission, but the other freebies applicable.

If everyone who attends buys just one Hotdog and a Soda, they'll make a profit off the game. (Providing they have 35K+ attending)

Well, that is not counting Parking Fees, admissions for those whom do pay and other services. If they get a crowd of say 25K+ with those fees then they probably have a profit. Without it would be around 30-35K needed to cover the payout and support staff.
