Dawgfan- should I start Marshall over Michael Ford in my fantasy team?

Not too sure I'd start Ford unless Marshall has his break out game which is possible, but doubtful

The Huskers travel well and can sell out their house damn fine. But, the SEC travels better.
Once again you have no idea what you're in store for. Sun Devil fans thought the same thing you did and we took over their town.

Ok. You travel well. No one id denying that. Almost every Mizzou fan I know is excited to host you all this weekend.

What Im still trying to find out is where it was stated that 30,000 UGA fans are going to be in town. Especially in that report you "cited".

I call BS on 30k from UGA too. Total BS. If they're lucky they may bring the usual 7-10k, with luck. Since this is the Tigers 1st SEC game I don't think the UGA fans will be any factor.

The SEC has a great reputation for traveling and I don't think anyone is disputing that. Unfortunately for us, there was a time when Nebraska probably did have over 20k people in our stadium.

I don't even know how that is possible in this day and age but we are aware that the visiting section will not be 75% empty like when most Big 12 teams came to town.

We are still waiting for the caravan of RVs that supposedly arrive on Wed. and stay through the following Mon.

I counted 22 people at Corkys a while ago in Starkville so we are good!

Yea,I have a hard time believing that Mizzou fans are selling 10-15k tickets on top of the visitor allotment to one of the most historic and anticipated games in Mizzou history.

That dog wont hunt.

We sent well over 20K to Tempe, AZ in 2008.
I'm guessing we can send at least 20K here.

Not all of the fans will have tickets. A good number will be outside the stadium and at bars around town.

No shite. Mizzou is better then ASU and the game is more important. I'm saying if we could send 20K to an out of conference game against a poor ASU team. Then we should be able to the same for a historic SEC game against a quality opponent.

Meh.

It doesnt matter. No point in arguing about it. I am sure UGA will be well represented. Cant wait for the game.

I'm not arguing with you. You're a pretty good poster. I'm arguing with your little Mizzou friend. TigerMattSTL

This is awesome if true.

That's a very long drive/plane ride/canoe trip up the Mississippi River to not even see the game.

I anticipate a very good atmosphere tomorrow.

Please watch your spelling when talking to Georgia fans. They are already confused enough that they are probably going to be showing up in our Columbia Saturday... wouldn't want to get them lost in South America as well.
