I'll try. Been to 3 bowls in 5 years and sold out our allotment each time.

Aren't allotments usually around 15,000 tickets? OM and State will both send around 40,000 fans to their respective bowl games this year. We sent close to 50,000 last year to the Birmingham ghetto

Do you still not get it? There have only been 3 opportunities in the past 5 years to go to a bowl game. This will be the 4th in 6 years, same as State.

Not that impressive. The allotment for the Compass Bowl last year for Ole Miss was about 20,000. We had 50,000 fans there.

I get it. What I am saying is that you can sell out your allotment and still have a shitty crowd.

Lol. Selling your allotment doesn't mean shite. Please stop acting like Vandy travels better than us. Let's be real here, guys.
Fair enough, let's be real. MSU would probably take more fans, but not at the levels you guys are intimating. Here are some figures:
DATE TEAM ATTENDANCE
2012 Tulsa 31 - Iowa State 17 53,687
2011 Cincy 31 - Vanderbilt 24 57,103
2010 UCF 10 - Georgia 6 51,231
2009 Arky 20 - E Carolina 17 (OT) 62,742
2008 Ky 25 - East Carolina 19 56,125
2007 Miss State 10 – UCF 3 63,816
2006 SCarolina 44 – Houston 36 56,103

Landmassers travel to bowl games as well as home games. Period. Vandy pls

did you just try to argue that we would't bring as many fans buy posting actual figures that show we had 6,000 more than you?
Not to mention that number is the Liberty Bowl record?

Correct... Ticket sales to last year's Gator Bowl set records that will never be broken... Ever.
Apples to oranges comparing Memphis to Jacksonville.
Our last 2 Liberty Bowls to Memphis we have had 2 of the highest attendances in Liberty Bowl history in 2007 against UCF (who may have had MAYBE 5,000 fans) we packed the stadium.
Liberty Bowl folks remember and know that there is a HUGE MSU alumni base in the Memphis/DeSoto county area.

Now obviously we aren't going to the Music City Bowl since we were there last year, but to the point we don't show up or sell tickets to the bowl games is ridiculous.
2008 Music City Bowl - Vandy vs. BC
Attendance - 54,250 (BC only sold 1,500 tickets, so going by your logic Vandy must have had over 50,000. I would say that attendance number is tickets sold because it was miserably cold, and there were probably more like 40,000 Vandy fans present)
2011 Liberty Bowl - Vandy vs. Cincinnati
Attendance - 57,103 (approximately 33,000-35,000 Vandy fans)
2012 Music City Bowl - Vandy vs. NC State
Attendance - 55,801 (NC State had just fired their coach and I'll be generous and say they had 15,000, so that leaves around 40,000 for Vandy)
As many people have said on here before, Vandy home attendance does not correlate with bowl attendance. Due to not living anywhere near Nashville (and other circumstances), I haven't been able to go to a home game this year (we usually make 1 or 2). I have been and will be at any bowl game.

Why can't state fans read? He said you WOULD bring more than Vandy, but the disparity isn't as much as you think.
Not saying I agree or not, what that's what he said.
