Currently the line is (-3.5) Clemson.

Terrible matchup.

 

[DefenseisDesire]

Agreed. Probably WVUs last BCS bowl for a while.

 

[Boca Vol]

ZERO Buzz around here for this game. You would never know the OB is tonight and I live about 25-30 min from the stadium.

This game looks worse than the garbage on last night. Won't watch this either. Every other sport decision is based on TV ratings why are Bowls still worrying about ticket sales?

Who knows.

The Sugar was probably at about 75% capacity last night.

All these bowl tickets are overpriced. Outside the NC game I can't see paying more than $50.

When's the last time the OB has been any good outside of hosting the BCSMNCG?

Iowa - USC about 10 years ago, looked like a good matchup but was a blowout. Don't remember another.

we'll get too see our next DC in action.

we'll get too see our next DC in action.

And our old QB in action.

 

[DocVOLiday]

wish we got Sammy Watkins, I think he's top 5 WR in the country, and only a freshman

3OT game with Pedo State and FSU in 05 or 06 was decent. OB has had some awful matchups over the last few years.

23 ranked in a BCS? Really...

 

[VOLatile]

I fell asleep during last night's game. Couldn't even tell you who was in tonight's game until I looked it up this morning. That's how awesome these games have been...

I myself have only watched a few.

True the attendance has been bad. True the games were horribly arranged (Boise). But still, more good than bad bowls have been played.

I mean, if you told me Baylor and Washington game was 67-56...I would go..."Basketball"?

Its pathetic how empty that stadium is and its a freaking bcs bowl. How to fix it? Cut the Little east from having a bid in a BCS bowl and let 3 SEC teams have bids. That will fill the stadium,make a better game, better ratings and most of all 2 deserving teams!

 

[ismellthattoo]

It is sad. You would at least think Clemson sold out their ticket allotment. 1st time at a BCS bowl.

I agree.

 

[Volstylexx]

A LOT of empty seats..

exactly. you know UT would have sold EVERY ticket

 

[dreVol]

I don't think it helps attendance when the games are held during the week following New Years holiday.

 

[volmanbill]

I would think the current BCS bowl dates hurt attendance in general considering the late dates and work week games.

Edit: Beat me to it dre...

Most fans are not going to travel a long way for a game unless it is the NC game.
