this is the main issue, moving these BCS games to one night each is a shite show. Move them to the weekend. This wasn't a problem when the Fiesta, Rose and Sugar where all on new years day


I agree! I blame the BCS for not letting the individual Bowls (sans Rose 1998-2009) negotiate the TV contracts, instead it's a package deal with one network which means that you can't have the Fiesta/Rose and Orange/Sugar play simultaneously anymore.

Does anyone think the new deal in 2014 with a SEC vs. Big 12 matchup is going to change the attendance issues?

The Wednesday bowl is weird. I couldn't go because of work. If it had been part of the weekend I could have managed it.

It's really good SECR fodder so it serves an important purpose.

Our fans are spoiled though.

Florida doesn't travel well it is really that simple. According to the Rick Niehausel (SP) and Sirius guys they have not played a regular season game outside state of Florida in a decade. I think that is actually true. When fans get used to never having to travel out of state they get spoiled.
