By 9 a.m., when tickets were distributed, the line was about 300 long. As it turns out, students didn't need to camp out. By 9:35, there was no line, with about 150 seats unclaimed, and at 3 p.m., there were tickets available.

No line at 9:35 with 150 tickets left!  And unclaimed tickets at 3 p.m.; that's ridiculous!

I'm glad we have at least 300 hardcore student football fans, but seriously, there should be many more than that!  

There shouldn't have been ANY free tickets available after 10 a.m.  

Come on, they're FREE!  And to a BOWL GAME!

So who is right Greg or USF athletics. The Athletic office says ALL 500 were given by midafternoon, yet Greg says there were tickets left

They both could be right hinging on your definition of "mid-afternoon" ...

How long do you think 500 free student tickets would last to see FSU in the Emerald Bowl or Miami in the MPC Computers Bowl?

I bet their students would have jumped on all of them in the first half hour!

NOT. Miami is having a difficult time with tickets to Boise on the 31st

Whether the line was 1,000 or 10 long, the camping it out was partly for the atmosphere of camping out. It was a fun way to throw backa few cold ones out in "the nature".

That is the truth izzo.  I camped out because of the atmospehere.  Man, throwing a few back in the cold with all the other die-hard bulls was great.

it could be that students were either in class or studying in the library, as this up-coming week is final exam week.

Maybe students were afraid some idiot frat boy was going to purchase all the tickets again and therefore ruin it for everyone, hence why bother waiting in line like that, losing sleep, getting a cold, etc etc

Bullzfan4life... you missed the boat on this one... if one night of camping is going to cost you at Finals week, I'd really re-evaluate if you need to be in college. You missed out on a great opportunity to band with your fellow bulls.
