Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 786158, member: 19"] If we can start 3-0 (again assuming a bye on 9/6 and that we can beat Maryland), it will certainly be interesting to see the crowd size. I don't think you can necessarily use past numbers to gauge. The USC game was widely considered to be a blowout, and USC was never going to bring more than 15-20k. The Penn State game was on Labor Day, which has to cause some issues, whether people like that or not. Plus, neither team was ranked, and when ESPN was analyzing their biggest matchups that weekend, that game was an afterthought. Barely made the radar. Throw ND in the mix, and you probably get more neutral New Yorkers than you would with any other team. Throw in a 3-0 SU, you might get a few more. Game is late September, so there are no holiday weekend travel issues. It won't be our best chance at a win (I think that was PSU), but I think it should easily be the largest crowd of the 3 games. I hope we hold our own. [/QUOTE]
