The key is making sure that the lower bowl is packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Wishful thinking...but a guy can always dream) ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we werent ranked before last year, which caused more hype. This year, a lil more use to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty good is you ask me and it's only Tuesday. I don't think we'll sell out, but it will be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't notice that aganist WVU because they had well over 10,000 fans. If Kansas brings a couple of thousand, I'll be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as out-of-state representation in the Tampa Bay area, in my observation, it's a toss up between Louisville, Marshall, and West Virginia, with regard to which school has the most alumns in Tampa Bay. Kansas doesn't have that many Jayhawks in Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
