USF returns 2,800 unsold tickets from their 5,000 allotment back to UCF
Dang...and that includes space/tickets for Marching Band, official Univ parties, Athletic Dept tickets, etc...
Also, you can tell on secondary markets (stubhub, ebay, craigslist, etc...) that even those that bought USF tix from their UCF Allotment (probably back in Spring/Summer with their season tix orders) are now trying to dump them.

Can you really blame them? If the records were reversed and we were having an abysmal season, I doubt many would drive down to RayJay to see our team get whooped.

UCF had a 16 game losing streak at the time...yet 15,000 UCF fans went to the game in Tampa in 2005.

Yes and KL counted each one of them one by one as they came into the stadium.

I had to stop counting at 11,468 because I thought UCF's offense was about to cross midfield for the first time...and I didn't want to miss it.

Thank you for this logical comment. Among all the pathological nonsense on this site, it's good to see a few voices of reason are still around here...
I'd go if I was still in town. We're in the same conference now, probably for the long haul... and we'll both cycle up and down occasionally over the years... this is definitely UCFs year.
When we won our two games (thank heaven for small favors...) I thought we might be seeing some baby steps back to normal, but it ain't happening right now. I wish we could be a bit more competitive for you but our program seems to have been completely destroyed. Make the BCS bowl and I'll definitely be rooting for you all, or whomever the AAC rep happens to be.

I mean it's Thanksgiving weekend...Everyone considered the Rutgers game the last home game...Every year it was like that when I was in school.
I wouldn't expect it to be packed, even if there is a FIRE.

I know a guy that works in the ticket sales department and he said there are only 2,500 tickets left as of this afternoon.

That's a way better pace than where we were with the Rutgers game last week. I hope this is a sell out for senior day. Our boys need a packed house for the stomping.

2500 is weak sauce but it is what it is. I hope we invited all of their prospects to take a visit.

I've noticed that there are way too many angry children here lately devolving every thread into the usual smack talk nonsense. This used to be the best place on the web to talk about CFB and conference issues. Kudos and appreciation for trying to keep it focused and civil, but I'm not too optimistic...

USF's offense is so pathetically bad that USF fans have basically given up on this team. If USF had any pulse whatsoever, they would have sold more tickets. I really can't blame fans.

this is probably true too, I just honestly thought USF had more diehard fans. Still a young program though which I think we all forget.

For a 2-8 team you still had a good crowd for the SMU game.

Fans aren't to blame for the team being awful this year, but we are to blame for not supporting the team better than we have. This game is at UCF on a Friday, there's no reason for Bulls fans in Tampa that day not to make the 1:15 minute drive up to Orlando.
