I will be pulling for louisville


Well the buttsniffers sure did well last year against the weakazz Big 10...you let Meatchicken State punk your sorry carcass....since Nebraska bent over and took 70 points in their butts....you better not embarass the SEC again.
Of course I will pull for UGA since it is in the SEC...but wont cry too much if you drop your pants in Orlando.

You LSU kittens that still have that sore throat from the UF game...how many of you are going to Hotlanta? Thats what I thought. UF has huge crowds in the Swamp, we traveled well to Fiesta and NOLA in the past...but this cluster of a game is the pits..the SEC should be fit to be tied, but Slive will pet his poodle named Nickie and nod off to sleep before the game starts.

I think it's surprising. You would think UF fans would be excited about how their program has been turned around and the fact that their playing in a BCS bowl in NOLA on New Years. I feel like Tennessee, Alabama, LSU ect. could sell out that dome by themselves if they had to.

Is The Sugar Bowl A Sellout?


When they began being sponsored by USF&G in 1987, they became sellouts.

I know it's a troll but dear god I hope it doesn't sellout. $20 tickets the day of the game was amazing.

Hard for Georgia to have a fair-weather fan base when they can't even win 3 SEC Championships in 20 years.

That surprises me about Nebraska fans only selling five thousand of their allotted tickets. Nebraska fans usually have a pretty devout following.

According to NOLA.com, of an allotment of 17,500 tickets per team, Louisville had sold more than 14,000 tickets while the Gators had sold about only 6,500. That number was as of Friday, December 14.


I have a very good friend on the Sugar Bowl committee. I can assure you that the Sugar Bowl did not want any part of Florida. Everyone in New Orleans was rooting hard for FSU to beat Florida so that they would not have to invite them.

Florida fans don't travel to New Orleans well at all. Plus, a ton of their fans make hotel reservations in Biloxi-Gulfport, and drive into NOLA just for the game.

Every single Hotel in New Orleans has made major reductions in their hotel prices for the Sugar Bowl. No one is close to being full as there are 1000's of rooms still available.

Tickets on the secondary market is quite cheap for the Sugar Bowl. I can guarantee anyone that you will be able to get good tickets, on the day of the game, for less than $20.

Who did they want? aTm or LSU? LSU would have sold the most tickets, but Aggies may have traveled. I don't know their fanbase.

And I went to last year's Sugar, paid $15 for a ticket, and later found out I overpaid for that ticket.

That would be outstanding for any New Orleans resident man. I bet there will be a ton of local LSU fans there that just wanna drink a few beers and watch a live BCS bowl. I had no idea that UF fans had a bad reputation financially among the New Orleans commerce crowd.

They were divided between A&M and LSU. They would have gladly taken either over Florida.

Yeah well to bad we kicked both of those teams in the arse. No one is excited for the Sugar bowl. It is a shitty matchup and we were hoping to play bama in the title game.

Speaking of fair weathered fans, UF had.more consecutive sold out game than anyone I'm the conference until last season, so frick all youz guyz.

Hey, I think the entire bowl system sucks and has out-lived it's usefullness. Most of the match-ups suck. Outside of the Championship game, who really gives a damn. We should have an 8 team playoff right now and scrap the bowls.

I haven't watched a single bowl game yet and will probably only watch 3, and at most 4, of them.
