_ Who is "we", Judas? _

I think he meant "we" as in Cajun fans.



I was very unimpressed with both teams. Sloppy play, turnovers, stagnant offense, terrible passing, redzone stalls, etc..... But Tech appeared to suck a little bit less than NIU tonight and won the game so Congrats.

I flipped over to the game the last few minutes of the game. The announced attendence was 41,000. No way! No how! I saw a bunch of empty seats and the game could have gone either way so i wouldn't think that people would have left the game early.

I planned to watch but got caught up working on a couple of things and forgot all about it.

Had UL been invited I would have been there.

_ Congrates to them on the win. Everyone that had an opportunity to watch some of that game witnessed two terrible offensive teams. Tech without Livas, is just average. NIU has zero talent and speed at the skilled positions. NIU had no business in any bowl game period.
I'm sure we will hear tomorrow that it was a sell out. _

You are right that was too horrible offensive teams. That game was sloppy and hard to watch. The crowd was good at the beginning, but after half time it looked like alot of them left, there was wholes in the stadium everywhere. I didn't understand that because it was a close game the whole time.
Anyways, Congrats to Tech.

that stadium has seats similar to the superdome which lie to cameras and make it look like there are people in them. When there were long views which the cameras shied away from, you could see just how many open seats there were. Also, the endzone was empty. So, just from the looks of the one side that they showed and the empty endzone, I would guess 30,000. 15000 from tech, 5000 from niu and the rest locals

The field was pretty and the weather was nice but the play on the field? Seriously, the worst I've ever seen in a bowl game. Neither team really looked ready to play football. The one and only highlight was the 97 yard KO return by a tiny 'lil feller for LaTex.

They "sold" 41k tickets. They didn't have that many in the stands. The Indy focused on getting the seats from the wide angle field shot to look packed... can't blame them. The key isn't in how many they claim for attendance or how many tickets they "sold" (large numbers were given thru civic groups). It is how much money they made. It isn't what they "report" to the media... it is about what the financial audit reveals.

The game was lackluster and the "mystique" of Dooley and Tech should have been hidden for a couple more years. I thought the game looked a lot like an old regular season Big West game between the two teams. Congrats to Tech.

Sure would have been cool to see Fenroy, MD and Chery lighting up the place.... and it would have happened.

The place looked pretty packed to me. The endzones had some empty seats but that is about it.

I understand your sentiment but its the wrong analogy. To be a "Judas" he would have had to be one of us to begin with. He never has been a UL fan.
