Yes, I know that he was hoping the fans would step up, but it's a fricken nightmare economy out there for a lot of people and overstating things can only lead to dissapointment that will hurt us in the future for bowl invites.

10-12K would still be decent considering the .500 record and the economy.

How is it a hype machine...the school is on the hook for 10k right 8k have been sold. I've got friends that live in Phx and didn't even consider buying through the school why would you, in Phoenix you walk up to most sporting events and get good seats.
