That happens quite a bit over there (and no, I'm not a part of it). If you don't like it, don't go to that site.

It's not accurate to say that the Disney company is behind us, but people like Al Weiss (president of the Walt Disney World Resort and a UCF graduate) are. As for the media, if we had that much influence over them we'd have been in the preseason top 25 in the major polls.

Quote:The funny thing I saw was where you said we didn't sell out VT, true we missed it by 400. Be real. My Q is if you are so much a Goliath, why can't you have a sell out. Please don't take this as smack talk. I will admit you got a gold mind but your fans that go on message board are what makes you look like Fools Gold and it will never be worth the money.

We had consistent sellouts during Bright House stadium's inaugural season. The next two seasons after that, the team didn't have as much success, so some of the momentum we had built up in 2007 slowed a bit, and I think the attendance was an indicator of that. We made sort of a quiet entrance into the top 25 late in the 2010 season, which I think helps explain why the crowds weren't that great. After the conference championship along with the wins over Georgia and Boston College, though, I don't think attendance is going to suffer much this season unless we have an unexpected collapse. I look forward to our next home game . . . should be a great atmosphere.
