I'm sure you have access to our season ticket, multi-game and single game ticket numbers right?

Why be a dick?

You wouldn't appreciate the snide comments about ECU if you were playing another NC school in any sport, so give us the same respect.

How is that being a dick? PSU can draw 100k. I'm sure a shitload of their fans will show up.

Just congratulate Temple, it isn't difficult to do.

Congrats Temple. Beat State Penn!

It was at most 40% Penn State fans, and that's generous.

I mean, ni S9it. Our stadium only holds 50k. That is like saying "I am not knocking Temple but I doubt that they have ever had a home crowd of 100k." Well, duh.

Congrats on the win though! BIG time

Because you wouldn't appreciate the same snide comments about ECU if you were playing NC State (who averaged more fans per game than you).

Did you ever consider that maybe Temple people are especially excited about a home schedule that includes Penn State and Notre Dame? Maybe consider the fact that we could have significantly higher season ticket sales than usual?

There's absolutely no reason to trash us for selling out the first game.

Because ECU can sell-out their games even when they are not playing a Penn State or Notre Dame, while Temple has never been able to do so without playing a huge program.

Penn State sold this game out and you know it. Sell more than half of the Linc for a normal game and I'll start giving you credit.

And just to be fair, the same thing can be said of UC playing Ohio State at PBS.

ECU wouldn't sell out a 70K seat NFL stadium, and if they were playing a local school like NC State, they would sell plenty of tickets too. That goes for every single program in this conference.

I'm not saying Penn State won't have plenty of fans, but people acting like there will be 50 Temple fans there are being disrespectful. I'm sure as a UC fan you wouldn't appreciate the comments if you were playing Ohio State.

Just give us a little bit of courtesy, as we've sold a lot more season tickets than before. FWIW, I waited late to get my season tix and they told me the Temple side was completely sold out within a few weeks.

Us and Virginia Tech put 72k in Charlotte's BofA Stadium in 2008
