Remember how much the Outback Bowl supposedly wanted A&M over us? Remember how bad A&M fans wanted to go to a Florida after a 50+ year absence?

How'd they all get 50 yard line seats when we have to sit in the upper reaches of the end zone?

Pretty piss poor crowd. I really hope we fill up the lower level tomorrow. Haven?t seen many other state fans downtown this evening. Maybe they went to the parade. I didn?t get intown until around when parade was starting.

The truth is that no matter the fan base, fans travel to see a game, not a bowl.

When you play UCF, Wake Forest, Louisville, Northwestern, Rice, & NC State in bowl games, you probably aren't going to take many fans because no one wants to see those games.

There were only a few tix on stubhub and the price was $60ish. They must have bought a ton of tix and not showed

Well, we shouldn't feel bad if we don't. Texas A&M, whose fan base is at least 3 times larger than ours with a campus that sits in the middle of a 3 hour radius of 20 million people, took very few to the Gator Bowl

Yep, y'all sell out the Outback and that'll shut down all the back & forth narratives...

Me & 7 think Jimbo overrated. 7 especially does **

Actually I am rethinking my views slightly on Jimbo tho. We see next year.

Yeah, and he'd better wake up. NC State wants this game it seems.

This is unbelievable. Here are Texas A&M's OL recruiting rankings. Not sure how this happened with that recruiting area

LT - 85 Moore JR
LG - 84 Hocker
C - 84 McCoy
RG - 92 Sutherland
RT - 83 Green

I was there. Not 50/50 but close. Many state fans probably did not know.

I truthfully believe that of all the major network sportcasters that broadcast college football games, Rod Gilmore is the worst of all.

I don't like Beth Mowins' or Pam Ward's voice, but at least they prepare.

Rod Gilmore calls a game like he literally walks into the press box, pulls out a roster, & wings it. No prep & gives out factually inaccurate takes

Are A&M's TE and RB coming back next year?

Their losses this year were pretty respectable: Clemson, @Bammer, @MSU, @AU....

2019: Bammer, @UGA, @LSU (everyone else credible is a Home Game)...

Both are juniors. Mond is a soph. Corbin is a freshman rb to keep an eye on. He's gonna be a super star type player

Can you imagine being on the phone with Jimbo Fisher for IT help?

Imagine he was an IT guy in India & you need some help getting your computer fixed

I bet people who had other seats just moved to better seats in a near empty stadium. The TV networks do not like to show empty seats so if a few sections are filled camera angles can hide the sparse crowd.

371 tickets left for outback bowl on Stubhub. 2117 left for Sugar Bowl. Not sure what that means but we should have a decent crowd tomorrow.

Our crowd will be fine. Everyone should chill out about the crowd. At this point, it will be what it will be.

Now, lets talk about the people/workers in Tampa.
I have been overly impressed with absolutely everyone I have encountered. Extremely nice folks and all very helpful.

Stubhub is a secondary ticket market. So, I think that means tickets that are sold on there have already been bought. IMO that means that the more tickets that are on there, the more tickets that were bought.

True. But I?ve gotten the impression that the local people here are more in tune with the game.

Dude... all I've seen is State fans. Easily 50-1. I hear that closer to the beaches is where Iowa fans are... it'll be close on both sides.

MSU took thousands to those games. I went to everyone of those and I?m in Tampa tonight along with a whole slew of Bulldogs. You keep believing your bullshit. MSU people support their Dawgs.

From my recollection, there were more people than that picture at the Gator Bowl last year, and that was with an Egg Bowl loss, an injured quarterback and a skeleton coaching staff.

This is correct. We've showed up well for our bowl games. Go check out the attendance for our bowl games. The only one not well attended was the st Pete bowl.

The MSU doesn't travel myth is simply that. A myth. I'm here and I've seen a lot of MSU fans. I'm expecting the crowd to be about 50/50 but we'll find out tomorrow.

I would have gone to that one too except it was at the absolute worst time for me. If you had to ask me to pick a time that was impossible for me to go to a bowl game I would say December 26 at 10:00 AM. That was exactly when the St. Petersburg Bowl was played. Very difficult for those of us who have family out of town and have to work to attend that one.

Agree entirely. Plus the "advice" on what the teams should do for gameplay is rarely on point as well. Can't stand him.

Yeah, this is crap their fanbase spewed, and of course some of the talking heads got a hold of that narrative, and began spewing it also because they are all up on Jimbo. No one from the Outback ever said that.
