You guys are nuts. I have the game recorded, and there is no way 10,000-12,000. :lol:

at most 6,000-7,000. These bowl have substantial corporate sponsors that buy their own tickets too. I think some are counting all attendees that happen to have red or blue winter coats too

I was there too. Maybe I overestimated but I know we had more fans than Pitt.

Right. I was walking around and looking at the crowd, there were a lot of Alabama fans on our side, and they had red on. I will agree that we had a lot more than Pitt.

Well from the TV point of view, it almost looked like we filled half the stadium... I was shocked by how many showed up.

Pitt actually should have won that game. They gave it away. I guess they gave it away cause they are bad.

29,726 last year when we were there. I would guess 17,000-18,000 SMU fans. We did our part.
We are lucky if this many show up for a home game.

I am shocked that you were not there. You complained so much about the timing and location of the Hawaii bowl keeping you from attending that I would have assumed you had been there in Birmingham.

What, you actually expected him to attend? You know it is so much easier to post the same gripes over and over rather than to actually travel to an SMU bowl game.

anyone know what the SMU allotment was and how many we sold? that's the true measure of support, i.e., whether the school sells it's allotment

not many schools have done that in this year's bowl season
