We are not traveling well this weekend...

[Volmorning]

Just heard on WJOX that UT AD returned 3500 of their allotted 5000 tickets. SIAP.

 

[The Orange Pants]

It's all good. Just like morning wood, we'll be back later.

 

[99gator]

Damn, our stadium is really going to look empty now.

Sad.

Times, they are a changing.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Blame HD TV.

 

[Sudden Impact]

Blame Florida and their fans behavior......

 

[TrueOrange]

Blame HD TV.

Well this is probably (at least partially) also the fans and the team being so bad (/ not good...however one wants to word it).

Had the UF game been before Oregon's blowout of the team, I think you'd likely have seen more going/less tickets returned.

 

[Volmorning]

Honestly, though, I don't recall UT ever returning tickets to this game. Could be wrong though.

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

We had 5K+ at Oregon. I guess the travelers dont want to watch a putrid O on both sides

 

[99gator]

I thought we gave visitors more than 5000 too

 

[BigOrangeD]

It's really hot down here.

 

[44DivePlay]

A lot of people that might have gone usually probably just spent several thousand dollars on a mini vacation to Oregon and had to sacrifice a couple other away games they usually go to

 

[VolFan4Life87]

I imagine it's hard to sell tickets to a slaughter.

 

[VolsByNature]

Blame crazy step dads

 

[mitzustu]

I'm traveling fine... Speak for yourself.

I thought it was 3500 of 8000 though

 

[pierce60]

Its unfortunate that this game follows a once-in-a-lifetime (for most people) away game like Oregon. Most hardcore travelers just got back from Oregon on Monday afternoon or Tuesday probably, so to turn around two or three days later to head to Florida would be difficult. I think the largest contributing factor to the low numbers is that UT had a big turn out at Oregon and most people can't afford even one of those road trips much less two. Also, UT got blown out at Oregon and I would imagine several people don't wanna pay quite a bit of money to go sit in the FL heat with the potential of being berated by opposing fans to see this game; its not that sexy right now.

This is a reason enough I don't like to go down there.....I even enjoy going to Tuscaloosa..... Worst fans of any school in SEC....no comparison.

For it to be a slaughter one of these teams would have to find an offense....no this is going to be a DIV I slap fight.

My worst have always been in Athens. Too each their own though

 

[Boca Vol]

You can blame UF fans all you want but that's not the reason. Reason #1 is UT isn't very good. Reason #2 is the Oregon trip last week and getting hammered.

Back in '94 I did the UCLA and UGA road trips in back to back weeks.

Have you ever been to Baton Rouge?

 

[kiddiedoc]

I've had negative experiences in each of my trips to Gainesville. I really have to be in the right mood to deal with those bastages. Less class than any other host city I have visited.

 

[vtvol98]

So much for strength in numbers then.

Damn, our stadium is really going to look empty now.

I'm sure it won't look like ours when South Alabama visits next week.

 

[OWB]

Blame HD TV.

And losing

I really feel like they still have considerably more speed on offense than we have on defense. I look for big run plays on the edges and big pass plays down the middle of the field. JMHO.
