The Green Wave of Delusion. Comments saying we think it's the super bowl and what not. They are LUCKY to have a winning season and are able to play us.
They are hoping for some walk-up fans to show up, possibly wearing a green t-shirts! Hey, we may have won over a few of them the last two years. Both of our games were fantastic to watch and were wins over teams we were suppose to lose to.
60,000+....they will bring around 20 to 25,000......and be embarrassed as to how many more we have on their home field.......and don't think for a minute that ESPN play by play man Mike Patrick wont mention that.
Coach, you really think toolame will bring 20k+? Considering their attendance all year I just don't see it. I expect a boost since some who haven't gone all year will show up. I think typical examples such as my niece (UL grad) and her husband (toolame grad who never goes to games) and her father (former toolame player who hasn't been in years) are going in large part at our urging to come party with us.
I think like our fans who only show up to the bowl game, you can expect the same for Tulane (at a smaller level of course)...I went to every Tulane home game during their undefeated season and I went to the Liberty Bowl that year and they had more fans in Memphis than they did all year in the dome. Now, they say they avg. around 19,000 for home games but we all know that is very very far fetched so we will see. But trust me, even Tulane has bandwagoners.
Bump bc Tulane sucks
Bigger question. Does the New Orleans Bowl out draw the Sugar Bowl this year?
UL: 38,350
TU: 21,450
Total: 59,800
Just barely miss out on 60,000 unless we rounded up of course! But still break into the top 8 in bowl attendance.
The bowl/sponsors sells/gives tickets also
UL: 26500 [through the school]
10800 [from other sources]
TU: 9500 [through the school]
5400 [from other sources]
Other: 6500
Total: 58,700
I think Tulane's actual attendance at the bowl will be about 80% of their average announced attendance in the regular season. I fully expect the 'Other' crowd to be at least 60% for the Cajuns, if only slightly.
