New Orleans?!? I'll be going...
Mobile??? I'll be going....

If we can't sell our allotment with a short drive to Detroit because everybody complains the tickets are too expensive, what makes anyone think we would sell out our allotment if you have to get on a plane to go to the game. The LCB gives ALL Toledo residents and local UT area students the opportunity to experience their HOME TEAM in a Bowl game. If you haven't been to the LCB before, it is a GREAT venue and usually an exciting game. I am hoping that the majority of Toledo residents/UT students do as most are suggesting, that they are buying tickets elsewhere. The support for our TEAM is critical if we ever want to get our program recognized as an elite Mid Major program. Leaving at halftime of home games (no matter the score) and not traveling to Bowl games sends a message that Toledo is small time. I just wish more Fans and students recognized how important they are in building the program. Here's hoping UT shows up Big Time on Sunday!

AMEN, Brother. 5,000, if correct, is pathetic! If the peeps can't spring for $45... they certainly won't be paying for a trip down South or out West. There is a lot more than just high salaries involved in building big time programs and keeping great coaches. But alas... what can we expect... after all, too much of this is town thrives on complaining and shuns commitment.
GO ROCKETS!!! See you at the game (I hope).
