Considering Tuscaloosa is a 9 hour drive, and Madison is a 15 hour drive, it's not surprising attendance will be lower. Not to mention the higher prices. I'm sure the Badger fans don't want to spend that money on a game they expect to lose. Only the wealthiest and most die hard fans will be there.



How amped are Alabama fans about playing Wisconsin? I don't remember any recent matchups but you've seen enough of them via rivals in the last decade, I assume.

It just never struck me as a great matchup. Auburn-Louisville isn't exactly a supergame either, but at least it seems fresh and Auburn can largely fill out the Dome without a lot of help. Not the case here, given the distances.

I'm very amped about the game. Any Bama fan that was alive for the only Wisconsin game, is probably dead. We also match up very well against their strengths. And I'd love to stomp on a big ten team, since we lost to the last one we played.

We can fill up the dome with pretty much no help.
