It's a shame. Me and a bunch of people would be coming if they had been able to beat UC. Was looking forward to it. Oh well.

I don't blame you. I am going to the game. I haven't been since the Northwestern game. I didn't purchase a season ticket this year. I just couldn't take it another year, but I am still a fan and with Louisville the last game, hey, who knows and isn't that the way this team plays? It would be nice to give those guys their first loss and thin out the undefeated teams for the BCS!

Bunch of losers. This is exactly the game you should be going to. Home game against a top ten opponent where the win would put us in a great position to be in a bowl. I don't get to many, but I will definitely be at this one. Come on...suck it up and be part of a great win and step for the program. This isn't one of the impossible games of the past. We can win this one. You want the players to step up, then we need to step up, too. Lets go! Be the 12th man on the field!

So you only support the team when they're doing great and, arguably, don't need your help?
They've been competitive in every game and have a fair shot at knocking off a top ten team. This is exactly the type of game at which they need your support.
Color me confused.
yup. a team that could easily be 7-2 that has losses to teams that are all top 25 type ranked except for Minn. that has played well enough to win every game.
we have a big time team coming in and we get no fan support? they should be extending ticket deal and promoting it on TV and radio.

This is why I never believe it when people think we'll get 45k+. Even fans who spend time reading a message board won't come to a big game. If you throw everything else out, this is still a game vs. a top 10 team. That by itself should make people come and because it doesn't we will never fill the dome on a consistent basis.
If you were a recruit and visited the dome on a day against a top 10 opponent and the dome was only half full - would you want to play there? Unless I didn't have many other offers or already knew what I wanted I would look somewhere else and that is why we get a lot of the recruits we get.
But keep on b!tching about the team and lack of talent.

5 in my crew going, 2 coming from Canada. GO ORANGE!!
I would kill to be able to go to this game next week. You all are disgraceful.
This team can get to the verge of bowl eligibility!
We don't need ticket deals either, we should just be going. Those who have never played have NOOOO idea how helpful a sold out home crowd that shows up BEFORE the opening kick and stays regardless to AFTER the final gun can be.

I thought these ABC regional games are considered "mirror games" whic means if you don't get it on ABC, you get it on ESPN2
If its like this past week with OU@Iowa State and Temple@Louisville our game will be on ABC or online ESPN3. The other game on ABC at 12 will be Miami@Virginia so I think a majority of the country will get our game, but for people like me in ACC country we will get stuck with Miami@UVA and have to watch on ESPN3.

looks like a breakfast tailgate! Get the heated tent ready and can you say sausage/egg n cheese breakfast sandwiches on a soft hard roll (now there's an oxymoron). Last game of the season ladies/gents lets get it on in preparation for the biggest upset of the year!
at noon on abc they have:louisville/syracuse,miami/virginia and a few markets are getting texas/iowa st (scheduled for longhorn network.texas +iowa mainly)
id think louisville/cuse will get more coverage than miami/virginia
we need a big crowd this week.if i could go i would but noon doesnt work for me since i have to work and couldnt get out of it unless gametime was announced at least 10 days ago but i do know 2 people who are going from my work there 1st game ever

Perfect. Noon was the only time that didn't work out for me, so no road trip. And since I live where I live, my ABC will show UVA-Miami.
Had dreams of a 5-4 SU team taking on a top 10 undefeated team at 3:30, with me in the Dome. Now it's a 4-5 SU team that I'll be watching on an iPad. That worked out well.

Hey, if he doesn't want to go, I can understand it. I have been going to these games longer than most people here and I understand his frustration. These games are expensive and if you are driving from out of state that just adds to it. It would be nice if they won once in a while to make the drive back home much nicer. Lately, (last ten years) that drive has been a long one I am sure and if it's via jet, that makes it more so and expensive, so, how can you blame him. I live in Adams, about 55 miles to the Dome. I figure that it costs me a minimum of $100.00 just for the game, parking a few drinks and food. The product hasn't been especially good of late, so i can understand. That is why i don't purchase a season ticket anymore. I am sure there are many fans who feel the same as myself and orangenirvana. It's not that we are not fans, just getting tired of this.

Comes down to circumstance. I don't live down the street from the Dome and have responsibilities on Saturdays. I could have made it to a 3:30 game, no go for 12:00.

You realize that a 5-4 record might still have led to a noon kickoff, right?
You would've saved yourself a log of grief around these parts if you would've indicated your time restraints.
