I was at both that game and all the ones since then minus a few afternoon games.UCF, Louisville, West Virgina this year all CLEARLY had more students. I do not have exact numbers to show you but just considering the fact that the 3rd level had to be opened up is all the evidence you need. some STUDENTS had to go up there. you want to talk about logic? If they had to open up the 3rd level because there was no more room left on the 1st and 2nd..well logic would tell you it is more people than what was at BGSU.face it....the STUDENTS turned out in AMAZING numbers this year and will continue to do so.its almost like you are bitter and saying..well the students werent as supportive last year as they were when i was there.no way...

Sigh, all I do is ask for facts, and I get you with a bunch of rhetoric. I have no facts that more students were at BGSU than at UCF, because we don't have that information. I can admit that, why can't ANY of you that are making claims of facts? I'm not bitter about anything, in fact I'm very happy with our program. You guys are bitter because not everyone sees this as a rivalry, and keep providing opinions that don't match yours. Deal with the fact Why do you all need to have everyone's buy in so badly? Could it be that you know inside that this isn't a rivalry yet, but want it to be one soooo badly that you'll do anything to make it so? : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm more puzzled by your motivation on this one. I mean I'm hardly stating anything that is out of bounds. It is corroborated by a great number of people -- fans of the rivalry and not. It was a big crowd. I'm not sure how 'smoke and mirrors' are involved. Again, I wasn't a fan of the rivalry. I never wanted the first game played. Now that it has been played I'm not so pig-headed to see that it wasn't a) pretty fun and a solid showing. Seeing that many fans in RJS was a pleasant surprise. There have been so few games like that over the history of this program....and I've sat through some real yawners. If enjoying the atmosphere, a full stadium and a fun game was wrong my apologies. I guess I just don't get who you are fighting here? That type of game and experience breeds new fans -- UCF or not. I'd think you'd be for that. The more the merrier and if this game was a success and continues to be a success it is good for the entire program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people on here get freaked out when faced with anyone that disagrees with them, and start attacking, that is what happened here. I disagreed, and people started attacking. To recap: a) I do not believe that a rivalry exists at this point due to our limited history of playing. People who want this to be a rivalry will go to any length to try to support their opinion. c) There are no facts that support the existence of anything more than the potential of a rivalry.

I never said it wasn't the best attended this year, I simply asked for evidence of that statement. Why is that so hard for people to understand? Is that a tough question? : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
