Amazing! They are actually noticing the MCB this year:

Thanks, Huron Dave........I enjoyed reading the articles. Any word on how tix sales are going for the MCB........from reading the Rocket Board there now seem to be some pretty optimistic predictions based on tix sales. Since we know that hardly anyone from BC is coming, that means that either UT fans are really fired up to play a pretty good team from the Big East, or the locals are taking renewed interest either due to the above or because of curiosity in seeing new Ford Field.

Sure would be great if they could somehow come up with a crowd of 40K, although with the away team bring no one the realist in me is thinking that it'll be in the low 30's.

Hey eck -

There has been no word at all in the media regarding ticket sales. The toledo board is the only place where there has been any discussion. To be honest, this kinda worries me because I would think if this thing were that close to a sell out we would have heard by now.
