We don't have Oregon fans buying through our athletic department like you have Miss. St. fans buying through yours.

And you have proof of this?

Just because a few yahoo's said they did that hardly makes it fact.  A simple look at the NCAA stats will tell you that is probably BS.  First, MSU averaged 49,296 a game, or 90% of their capacity.  Now they have said they have sold over 30,000 tickets from their athletic department to a game that is two hours away from their campus.  They had attendance below 45,000 three times.  Bowl tickets are much more expensive than single game tickets, so do you really think that there are that many MSU fans over 30,000 who are willing to not only pay $50 for the ticket, but also do the drive. 

Sorry kids, not buying it.  I also know that if UCF can take 4,000 and 5,000 to NCSU, Auburn, Bama, UGA and UF, getting 8,000 to 10,000 for the Liberty Bowl is not a stretch.

Why would Oregon fans buy through USF when they have yet to sell all of their tickets?

Another moral victory for the Knights.  :clap

You still must be disappointed you didn't sell out your high school champ. game in your little stadium.

Thanks for coming over to check on us though.

Are you kidding me?  USF really needs to get the fan base going.  How can a BCS team that was ranked in the top 25 most of the year only sell 2600 tickets?  2600 sold = 2000 in actual attendance. 

I see the smack thread about UCF selling over 8,000 tickets and I find that extremely ironic.

as a fan base we had our sights set a little higher? whereas this is pretty much as good as it will ever get for UCF?

Higher?

USF was in the pizza bowl last year.  Please, this is what bothers people about usf fans, this sense of entitlement is sickening.

ugh... usf was ranked #2 and ranked for most of the season.  hard not to expect a little more attractive matchup than playing a beaten down average Pac 10 team in El Paso, TX.   

sorry, i know this is hard to understand for ucf fans, but just playing a BCS team isn't that exciting anymore...

Right, that two hour drive would be a real ***** ...... It's been 7 years since MSU has been to a bowl game, I doubt the two hour drive would be a deterrent. The only logical deterrent would be their crap opponent

Please don't use 'you' when addressing ToeJam here about UCF. He's not a UCF fan, he's an FAU fan ...... and I actually kept a straight face while typing that.

What don't we get?  The fact that your stadium is little?  The fact that CUSA is small time?  Or the fact that the game was not a sell out?
