The sUCkness of "the 'Natti"
Did anyone watch the Orange Bowl last year? I believe it had one of the lowest attendance records in the bowl's history. Also, I remember hearing on the radio one of the stations down here was GIVING AWAY tickets at the gate to anyone who wanted to show up just so they could make the stadium look filled for TV.
I know Wiki is not the end all be all when it comes to info, but it did cite this gem that furthers my point:
As late as December 31, neither team had sold its entire allotment of 17,500 tickets. Cincinnati fans had bought 13,000 tickets,
[63] while Virginia Tech fans bought fewer than 5,000 tickets from the school's allotment.
[64] Countering Virginia Tech's low direct ticket sales were large numbers of fans who avoided paying
face value for tickets?
US$125?by buying them on the secondary market,
often for as little as 99 cents.

So Cinci BCS Bowl tix are on the McValue Menu. Nice.
While the naked kitties put together a cute little season this year (and it is cute to watch them puff out their chest and say "WE ARE THE BESEST EVAH!! That is just so adorable!!
), they really do not care about their team. Last year was one of the best in the History of football at that school, and they got a BCS bowl out if it, yet these so-called "fans" were no-where to be seen down here in South Florida.
Let them have there time in the sun, because the days of darkness will soon return when Kelly jumps ship for a better gig and the naked kitties are nothing more than bottom dwellers in the Big East.
FWIW. I have hated UC ever since the day I took a visit there to see if I would like to go to school there. I was with my dad and we happened to get an appointment with the dean of engineering so I could ask about my potential major. He was a complete dickhead. My dad actually stopped the meeting by slamming his hands down in this guys desk, standing up and saying "Son, we don't have to listen to this idiot anymore. Seen and heard enough?" and with that we walked out of there never to return. I never saw a grown man cower and go white as fast as that little prick did that day.
Fuck UC, the whole kit and kooble.
Go Gators. Chomp Chomp, motherfuckers.
