thats a huge stadium, and the lower bowl is packed!

Holds 70,000 I believe...55,000 tickets have been sold as far as I've heard.

UCF just can not stop the Tulsa offense.

SMU would be handling either team today... no doubt about it.

Back and forth game.

Dang just 7 more points *sighs*

another big play by UCF on a 68 yard punt return. Well they are putting on a first class show-which is the most important thing. I'm SO SO glad they decided to go to the home team format. Otherwise, CUSA might really have embarrassed itself. But the UCF crowd it loud and proud. Good Job CUSA.

totally agree - i watched the MAC champ game on thur - a great game that went down to the wire - but the stands were empty b/c it was a neutral site

packed stands make this game seem more legit

Man what an awesome game. Still would've liked SMU to be there but 31-27 Tulsa at the half.

In other news, SMU leads North Carolina 1-0 at the end of the 1st half

The Big 12 game is packed..but there is LITERALLY nobody from Colorado there at the game. I barely even heard their band, so don't really know fit ehir band is there or not. But how bad do you have to feel for those Colorado guys.

They're going into a Big 12 Championship game where you have no fans and the entire stadium si for the other team.

colorado fans have no pride

i'd give my left one to win a division title and a trip the champ game

Not all fans are as loyal as you Raplh

oh and BTW Garrett Mills is the CUSA MVP and the best college TE in Football. He's just outstanding.

Is that the deal with the Big 12? A neutral sight? I noticed they are playing in Houston. Why there? What is the thought process behind Houston. Are they trying to get Rice to join?

its a bidding system. They usually switch between North and South. Works fine for the Big 12-but would be a disaster in CUSA because of the smaller enrollments and the distance between the schools.

I agree with the CUSA statement. But I am trying to think of any tie in that Houston has with the Big 12 other than a hotbed for recruits. Is anywhere in the country eligible to bid? We might as well let Ford Stadium bid and bring in 80,000 temporary seats.
