HJS {l Wrote}:No one showed up for the ACCCG this year. And, the first ever P12 game which was a home game for the favorite may have had even less people attending (despite it being a match-up of top 10 teams). Didn't check, but I doubt the B1G Champ game was a major draw either. Outside of the SEC (where the champ game has national title implications every year and the bowl games are all within a quick drive), BC fans were way the fuck ahead of the curve on having no interest on overpaying for forced vacations to shitty locations. The economy and evolving intelligence is catching up with the rest of the underdeveloped areas of this once-great nation.

I agree with you on all but the conference championship games being held at the home of the better team. I don't know what the fuck Stanford was doing (I know weather was a big factor), but you can't tell me that a night game ACC championship against VT, GT, Miami, or UNC with an Orange Bowl on the line wouldn't sell out. I think that's the case at 90% of BCS schools.

Stanford's issue was that tickets for that game 2-3x more expensive than regular season games (for students too) and season ticket holders had to purchase the game separately. It was poorly executed.

That is completely retarded if so. I can see charging a slight premium (maybe $25-30 per ticket?), but I have no doubt that BC would sell this out even with that extra fee. The Stanford turnout was mind boggling regardless given the implications - maybe BCS game burnout?

Are you saying that was good or bad?
