CFB 2010: The 4 conferences of the Apocalypse

[Akiyama]

I wish AU could have challenged that non-catch by Adams, and at last gotten a FG.. ugh. It's a must-score-TD to start the second half, or this one's oooover.

[Akiyama]

I'm sure they wish they had those turnovers back; Alabama is receiving to start the 2nd half, a touchdown and a stop would completely turn this bus around.

Auburn*

[aurik]

Sorry that's what I meant.

Does Boise State sell out it's games? I know it is a small stadium, but I would think their football program would have been bringing in a lot of money the past few years.

Wiki appears to say indicate so -- all 33,500 seats. I know there's quite a demand for the big games at least. As an Oregon State season ticket holder, I had the opportunity to buy road tickets for all games this season. All were guaranteed except the Boise State game, which had a lottery, presumably due to the size of the visitor section and the relative proximity to the game. In retrospect, I should have tried to enter the lottery for 4 tickets (which were like $40 each or something), as I could have sold 2 of them for the $300-$400 each they were going for, and paid for my entire trip to the game.

I've seen games with Boise against shit teams where there's a big chunk missing in terms of fans.

oh lawdy

Just because it's a sellout doesn't mean everyone shows up. Or they don't show up late for the first quarter because they've been tailgaiting, leave halfway through the second because Boise's up by 40 on Louisiana Tech, and don't return. From a financial standpoint, the sellout is the important factor for expansion.

Then again, Wikipedia could be lying to me.

Wow, nice TD Auburn.

[Akiyama]

Still though. Doesn't matter if it sells out if there's no body actually there. The BCS doesn't like panning a camera around to look at the fans if there's like..no one in the seats, lol. Boise may have people fighting their battles for them to get them in the big game, but maybe their fans need to fan up (like the Miami Heat fans) and show up.

[archibaldcrane]

Miami...fans...show up.

lol

[Akiyama]

lol

I hope you read my sentence right though, in the fact that Boise fans need to fan up, like the Heat fans need to fan up. Making fun of their "FAN UP MIAMI" vidya.

[archibaldcrane]

Yeah, my point is that Miami fans, regardless of sport, are terrible period.

[Lordender]

Alabama is pissing me off, run the god damn football, you have mark fucking ingram. You need to keep a hot auburn offense off the fucking field and eat up clock.

[Akiyama]

What's gonna piss me off is if AU gets this close, only for their D to give up another wide-open wtfpass to Julio Jones.

[aurik]

Back to a 3 pt lead, this isn't over. Bet bama's really regretting not being up 35-7 at the half now.

[aurik]

2nd and 5 at the 7 and you pass for the 3rd straight time to the same guy? Questionable play calls...

[Akiyama]

oh goddddd

[archibaldcrane]

Fucking 'Bama. Get your shit together.

[Soa]

Auburn has been getting away with a shit ton of Holding today, its like they hired NFL refs for this game or something.

[Akiyama]

lol, i've seen just as much on both sides.

[archibaldcrane]

Holy uncalled facemask.
