Marshall would fill up the entire lower east side when they came to town. That was 5,000 seats back in those days so I'm not sure Miami will top that. They'll have a good crowd no doubt though.

LOL, Miami fans don't travel well. How amusing. We're a national brand. Most alumni are not in Florida so we have alumni all over the country. As one of our posters said, we're not huge like OSU* or Florida and we're relatively young (90 years old). That said, our alumni are extremely proud of all that has been accomplished in our short history compared to other schools.

When Miami has played in Winston against Wake there haven't been many Canes fans there. Seen it in person. For whatever thats worth.

I gather the point about not traveling well is a bit of a sore spot. I'm sure you Canes fans have heard it before - it certainly didn't originate here.

Maybe it's less about loyalty/enthusiasm than about overall fan base size. Point taken. End result is the same - Miami doesn't tend to have as many fans at home, on the road or at bowl games as other national powers.

Should we take bets on the Attendance, we already know its going to beat 31K, are we thinking 35K or more?

We're used to all the stereotypes--that we dont travel well, that Miami is a party school, that we constantly cheat, that we are overrated, that all of our titles are tainted, etc, etc. On yea and that none of our fans went to the school and are all uneducated.

Dude. Miami is a party school. Miami is a very good university, but a big party school. The grove is teaming with undergrads every night and I did enjoy having a bar on campus. The Rat had good beer specials.

Marshall brought a ton of fans to those games back in the early 80's when I was in school. I don't think anyone ever topped them once they left the SOCON. Even back then I thought it was impressive

And he has a great bday date, since its mine as well. At least the day, he's a little older than me.
