Rematch with Southern Miss, Sweet!

[Economics_Nerd82]

Ummmm.... educate a nerd... what's USF's history with Southern Miss?

And, how many Bulls showed up for the Car Care bowl? Is it a safe bet, assuming we get a bowl game, that we can double that attendance?

[flsportsfan83]

no we wont double attendence to see a aCUSA team. The same die hearts will be there.

i think it will be hard to get double attendence for the bama bowl vs a c-usa team.  for a couple of reasons, we had about 5,000 up in charlotte to play an acc team.  charlotte is a MUCH nicer city, it was new years not christmas time, etc.

I agree Rezz.  Sad to say but Birmingham (not a great city), CUSA (been there done that) and Christmas time (instead of New Year) will probably draw a lot less than the number in Charlotte.
