Okay hot shot...come back and thump your chest if...and only if...you break our attendance record from last years MCB.

If you had such awesome attendance yourself it might mean something, but you don't so your flame is baseless and meaningless to us.

Now Toodle...Ooh.

The Blade reported this Sunday ( http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/ar ... /-1/SPORTS ) along with payout figures. A pretty good read, like always from John Wagner.

Krebs said his school has sold roughly 1,500 tickets for the GMAC Bowl and hopes to sell about 2,000. Last season, BG sold more than 7,000 tickets when it played in the Motor City Bowl.

This was interesting too about bowl expenses.

Krebs estimates that BG will spend roughly $300,000 on airfare, hotels, meals and bus transportation.

Bowling Green spent roughly $200,000 on hotel rooms, meals and bus transportation to compete in the Motor City Bowl last year.

Because the MAC does not have agreements with the other three bowls to which it is sending teams this season, Chryst said the three - Northern Illinois, Miami and Marshall - have made their own arrangements to pay bowl expenses.

Ouch, much more expesive for these teams. But the article said they (the MAC) have ways of making sure these schools don't lose money on a bowl. At worst, it's a break even operation.

Well I know exactly how many tickets we sold through our athletic dapartment. My best friend is Scott (ticker manager relative). I was saddened to hear the bad reports.

Compare and contrast the bowl figures to the dark days, when the Las Vegas bowl insisted on getting a wavier from the NCAA, so they could just pay $128,000 per team. The Las Vegas Bowl was using the MAC from day one, and never did embrace the MAC.

I guess I was disappointed when I read your post and the Blade article too. But then I have high expectations of builing a large fan base that travels well. Obviously, we aren't there yet. Heck, most people don't even travel well across town to the Doyt, so I probably shouldn't expect many to travel to Mobile. Anyways, I'm going to the GMAC bowl, along with two of my brothers and a fellow alum here in Lexington. Hope to see many AZZers there.

BTW, how's the ticket donations doing, still 30 or so?

1387 tickets as of Sunday. Pretty sad considering many of those I been told where ALUMS, over 600, calling and ordering their tix from the ticket office. That means only 700 students and locals have ordered tickets. This is really pathetic!

Why is this pathetic?

I don't know too many people who can arrange time off from work on a short notice around the holidays, afford ticket prices for a whole family, afford airfare for a whole family, afford hotel costs for a whole family.

Just everyone please shut up and don't worry about it. We will sell what we sell.

I am a season ticket holder and I bought 12 tickets and sent them to the MAKE-A-WISH-FOUNDATION of Alabama. Also sent a money order for $250.00 so that the children going would have money for food and souveniors. I think even if you cant go the community of BG could come out and support the athletic department. More ticket sales means more revenue and updating our facilities.

I think our ticket sales were around 7,000. We should have 10,000+ no problem but, like someone said, its only a 5-6 hour drive from Memphis.
I look forward to partying with some of you.

That's what did us Freaks in....too little time to pull it off. Plus, we have a family vacation in Tampa coming up in the spring and we are flying round trip.
If we had more time, this would have been a no brainer. Mrs Freak says it was too close to Christmas as well.
