But I don't see Baylor repeating that


Considering what Baylor did this year it pretty much sucks to have to play UCF in bowl game, much less a BCS game.

Some excited Baylor fans jumped the gun and picked up seats that cost over $400 according to some earlier posts on BaylorFans.com Had they waited a few days they could have picked up the same seats for less than $250. If they waited until now they are even cheaper and on game day they will be able to get great seats for less than $75 each.

Back in 2009 Boise played OU didn't they? I don't remember. Much different than playing UCF at any rate. Not sure if there are many bowl games generating less interest than this one.

Fiesta Bowl sponsors probably threw up when the teams were announced.

Boise State played TCU, a team they had just played in a bowl game the year before in 2009, and Boise State still brought 40-50k fans. TCU brought 28k fans and requested an additional 10k tickets after selling the allotment.

The "lousy opponent" excuse holds no water, especially when the 2009 matchup was a rematch of a bowl game the year before and both teams still turned out in droves.
