Re-watching the game, they just had a great shot of you and your blue faced friend....looked great.

I had plenty more paint to hand out but no takers!! Now if I could only find my voice!!! Was more fun than the Viles game!!!!

Me and my wife were there behind the Tigers bench in the front row right next to the student section. Bought the tickets through So. Miss a few months back for $27/each.

too bad Covingtontiger wasn't there to ask Geoff personally

My group (7 students) had a great time. Great feeling seeing Tiger nation in full force!

Thanks to everyone who went. I could hear you all on the radio.

Many of my friends are unable to travel because of their kids own sporting events. Some even miss a lot of home games for that reason.

You make a great observation. I missed many Tiger games to attend my kid's activities and I do not regret it one bit.

Sorry but this reminded me of this very cool song....says alot and worth the listen.

Someone needs to write "again" at the bottom.

We watched the Tigers vs USM in Boston and the blue fans were loud and I was very impressed with the number! Go Tigers GO!

My boyfriend and I say smack in the middle of southern miss territory near the student section. Luckily we managed to sit with two other tigers so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I was only cussed out by one lady for being too obnoxious. But hey, we got the W right?

I agree, and thanks to all the fans who made the trip. Glad everyone at USM is OK after mother nature turned ***** down there Sunday.

How did they get all those front row tickets?

We called the USM ticket office. Gave them some money. Not anything crazy.

In other words, those seats were not owned by Southern fans???

You cannot just call the Memphis ticket office and buy front row seats. While nowhere near the fanbase down there, I am still surprised front row seats were simply for sale.

Seats were unowned. We have sat there the past few years. The first time was a weekday game, I walked up to the ticket trailer I front of reed green and they had them available right behind our bench. Never been a problem getting them.

You can't even sniff those seats in memphis for what the cost there.

I dunno. For UT games, there is an uncomfortable amount of orange in the high dollar seats down low in FEF

Been to 3 games at ECU, this year I made it a point to order tickets as soon as they went on sale ... still didn't get anywhere close to the lower "bowl". Of course, the upper section at ECU is still pretty close.

Closest thing I got to that was in the mid 90's, I walked up to the Rosemont Horizon 1.5 hours before game time and ended up front row for Memphis / DePaul. It was -12 degrees outside, there were maybe 300 people there.

And you were where for the game?!?! Probably being the biggest guy down there I am assuming that was directed towards me?!?!
