I’ll be willing to bet that the first game will have 40k actual attendance. 

Are you willing to bet 11K will be USF fans?

So far, I'm optimistic about Bell, but not because he made VSU into a dominant championship team in a short amount of time. The guy before Bell won two national titles in 7 years and the guy before that won one and had a .864 winning percentage in 7 years.

he won a championship within his first 3 seasons.

The offense didn’t become dominant until Kade Bell took over as OC. Might be just a coincidence...

I was thinking we should have hired Dean, he won a title his first year at Valdosta and another a few years later. We can’t even play the CCS “won with the other guy’s players” card with him.

I'm sorry, sir, actual attendance is a convoluted number, borne from someone's over active imagination and should not be the basis of any wagering on this board ...

If only a there was a local journalist that could discover that number.

Sorry for changing the subject, but I thought this same thing regarding the excitement around the Kerwin Bell hire. Were there any other FBS teams interested in him? Seemed most were down on Charlie and his staff, now Kerwin arrives and we have donors throwing money into our IPF simply because Kerwin graced us with his presence. You'd think we just landed Dabo Swinney. I guess some of that excitement is just having someone other than Gilbert running the offense

To be fair, most people thought Dabo was a horrible hire at the time.

I'm waiting to see if our OL can give BB all day to throw like Valdosta State did for their QB, because that appears to be a necessity in Bell's offense. If that unit has improved enough to make that happen, then we can probably put up great numbers. Hopefully KB is capable of adjusting the offense a little if the OL still sucks. He does throw screens, uses the middle of the field, and runs sweeps occasionally, so there's that. Sean Gleeson had a GCO element to his offense that certainly would have worked here, but I can't tell with Bell based on film I've seen. I really hope Bell is the answer, but I'll have to see that offense in action before I can say I'm thrilled with the hire.
