support staff and spouses and kids make this more like 250 per team.

I would think that scout team and all walk-on's attend the bowl game also. I'm sure they don't all dress for the game, but I would be very surprised if they didn't attend the game and the festivities.

We've eaten in the same banquet room twice down there, and 125 per team is what Outback provides for ... 125 per team. 100 players, (and usually not that many travel). 25 coaches, some of their families do come along, and support personnel are limited to medical/trainers and equipment people. We had our AD and President and his wife there too. SC ran over our allotment and had to pick-up the tab for the overrun, as did Michigan.

So no, you're wrong.

I'm not sure exactly why it is so limited in numbers but I believe it has something to do with NCAA guidelines and it all being part of the benefit restrictions at these bowls. Still yet, 125 per team is generous and there are no limits as to what you can eat that they provide on the menu.

Matter of fact, going back to the first year we were down there in 2000, Outback provided one meal and we also had another meal where we ate over at Lee Roy Selmon's near the old big sombrero which almost caused a problem with Outback.

Even if there were 250 people per team, that's a whole one of these frickers for everyone in the room.
