It's a little too far for me to make it. But assuming CSTV online works I'll watch that way. Plus I get to enjoy one of the best things about living in Japan - football over breakfast! :D

They aren't supposed to do that anymore.

The old calculation was season ticket sales + walkups (+ they generously credited student allocations).

The new calculation is actual ticket stubs accounted for.

Actually the NCAA reverted back to the old rule and now counts "tickets sold" or somesuch. Why have an "attendance requirement" if you're not going to require attendance?

If you think there will be only 4700 butts in the seats, there sure will be a lot of orange. It will be like a home game on the road. :shock:

You will be at the Reunion? I will have BBQ by Ford stadium tomorrow evening. I am heading out this evening to pick up ponylb in Shreveport.
If you are at the reunion, I will take you up on the BBQ. If you are in LR tomorrow (and I understand the need to be close to home), I will have to take another rain check.

Looking forward to the trip up to Dallas and Ford Stadium. I think we will have a pretty good showing of fans. I would be shocked if not. SHSU has a good size alumni base in the Dallas area and the Alumni Dept. has been really advertising this game. I would hope we have a turnout like we did at UH last year which I think was estimated at 3k-4k Kat faithful. See ya'll Saturday!!!
