They revoked Texas A&M's BXII membership after their 77-0 loss.

RE: Boca Raton Bowl Game Thread: NIU vs. Marshall
Speaking of West Virginia (somebody was doing so a few pages back in this thread) I went on a couple of whitewater rafting trips there back in the day. A one day trip on the Gauley River and a two day trip with a campout on the New River when they drained the reservoir in the fall. We put in right next to the dam with the water blowing through the gates. Both trips were fantastic. It is beautiful country there for sure. At one point we hiked up the bluff next to the river and saw some of the most spectacular scenery ever.

One end zone (appeared to be many locals there) was half to 3/4 full at one time. The other end zone was mostly full on the lower level.
ESPN is way under on its estimate. I won't argue with someone who says 20,000, but my guess (and I have been at every football game played there) is 25,000.
I would say 20,000 at peak during 2nd quarter.. Again the Deck was packed.
Still hard to tell with this. Both lower sideline seats filled. It appears that the NIUUpper deck had a lot more people, but we need a better shot.

There were some FAU people wearing black mixed in, but I'm confident that the Huskie fans outnumbered the Herd fans. Really nice stadium, but it will be a mess if it is ever fully occupied.

C'mon man. You know better than that. It's a little thing but it's irritating when you know that's not even remotely true.
The entire nation watched the game. There were never 25K in there and NIU fans were outnumbered about 3-2. Heck even the Palm Beach post remarked on it.
"BOCA RATON The Boca Raton Bowl is fortunate that thousands of Marshall fans decided to make the trip from Huntington, W. Va., for Tuesday night’s game. Without the Thundering Herd faithful filling the entire lower section of the east side of FAU Stadium, the 30,000-seat facility would have been about one-third full.
As it was, the stadium was no more than half full for the game after being announced as a sellout hours before kickoff."
I'd like to see some aerials.
