All we had to do was drive over the bridge...could be that a lot of our fans were disappointed with the way the season turned out and we're that excited about making a lower bowl, where as ucf fans were just glad to make a bowl since they didn't have one the previous year and if history plays into it, they won't make one this year.

All we had to do was drive over the bridge...The difference in drives between us and UCF is pretty much inconsequential. They showed in those numbers because they were slobbering over the chance to knock off a BCS team. If we were playing a team from a higher profiled conference (bascially any other BCS conference) we would have sold it out, too ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference maker for the overall numbers.yeah, that's pretty much the reason. It was only 4,000 more than last year. And I'll go out on a limb here and say Rutgers brought at least 4000 more then memphis did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact...we would have had thousands more. The fact that they only had about 4500 more people than us at the game, when RUTGERS brought far more people than memphis did...and this was UCiF's closest thing to a SUPER BOWL, it just goes to show the different situations.Put us up against ANY SEC team or BIG TEN team in a bowl game...gurranteed our people show up in the tens of thousands.
