Dilbert Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 The Orange Bowl doesn't look sold out, lots of seats covered in the upper reaches...I sense this is happening a lot this year....and I sense the combination of the economic down turn and a week-to-two-week stretch of erratic, yet awful weather throughout most of the Northern United States are contributing factors.(must spin the empty seats in the Gator Bowl somehow)It's the economy coupled with a pretty weak match-up. No offense to Va. Tech or Cincinnati fans but neither of these teams is going to "travel" all that well. Especially Bearcats fans (all 206 of them.) I really don't understand why The BCS didn't split up Ohio State and Texas. Both schools pull huge crowds so why not put Ohio State in The Fiesta and Texas in The Orange?There were more UC fans at this game than VT fans.Many Bearcat fans (many more than 206) said if not for the economy, they would be down there.I was kidding. I have nothing against the Bearcats. Let's be serious here. We both know that when it comes to College Football fans in Ohio, the overwhelming majority of us are Buckeyes fans. I'm glad Cincy traveled as well as they did but you know The Buckeyes would have brought three times as many fans to Miami. I know that Cincinnati isn't crazy about Ohio State but that's about the only place in the state that isn't.Yeah the Buckeyes would have brought more fans because the buckeyes have fans and represent all of Ohio. Cincinnati mostly has fans in Cincy, not the entire state. OSU is also a bigger school than UC.Also UC sold about 13,000 tickets of their 17,000 allotment. VT only sold about 5,000. On the UC sideline and endzone, the seats were just about full on the lower and upper levels. VT only had most of the lower level sideline and their endzone and only some of the upper level on the sideline filled.

There is still a massive amount of time remaining, therefore I wouldn't be shocked at all if Bama comes back and walks away with the W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the first quarter quickly disabused them of this notion. Now let's see if Utah can hold on.

rams80 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 That was a terrible mistake, then. Unlike Hawaii, Utah has actually played a pretty good schedule this year.Personally, I'd argue it was on par with USC's. Which is the crux of my argument as to why the Utes should be ahead of the Trojans in the National Title Conversation.

DEAD! Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 On a very unrelated note: I know each college and university of the participating teams runs an ad during each televised game. I saw Alabama's "Crimson is...". In the end they said "Crimson is The University of Alabama" No it's not, Crimson is Harvard. I saw, I came, I left.

Which is the crux of my argument as to why the Utes should be ahead of the Trojans in the National Title Conversation.Somewhere about a million pages back in the college football thread I said something to the effect that Utah was the one team from a "lower tier" conference that I thought was a legitimate title threat. If they win this game then they are National Champs in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a related note, the old Alabama promo listed the rankings of Merit Scholars or something, and Alabama was ahead of Harvard...so Alabama ran an ad using their old cheer essentially saying something like:"Hey Harvard.We just beat the hell out of you" Plainsman Parking Lot.

jkrdevil Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Fumble with 5:18 to go with Alabama down by 2 scores. That should finish of 'bama. I know this isn't breaking news but the NCAA rules on celebrations are excessive. There is no way a celebration like that of a fumble that essentially should end the game be a 15 yard penalty.

I see no argument against them being crowned champs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
