More good news

Yep but playing ND will bring USF tons of publicity

NOT IF USF LOSES

nd WILL NOT BE PLAYING 2 GAMES IN TAMPA

[smazza]

Nuke, I've heard it will be Florida/ND at RJS in 2011 or 12. Nothing solid.

this makes much more sense

[E.T.]

Priority Points have very little bearing at this point in time...maybe in 10 years with an OCS, THEN they will mean something...

I assume they will use the point system to ration limited tickets for road games.  

You are correct.

However, they have "little bearing" because the points have never had to be used to this date.  Our supply has always outweighed our demand.

Hopefully, that will change.

And sooner you buy season tix, the more points u'll have when it is relevant.

I have loads of ND fans where I work (based outta Ireland) and have family/freinds in Northern IN ... I would be there 4 sure.

ND never has to worry about sellouts on the road because everyone comes to see them play.  They once played Navy in the Citrus Bowl- a sellout.

Our actual attendance is irrelevant to ND just the potential stature of the game- if they believe there is meaning and the potential for a national tv audience then they will not be afraid to play the game.  FWIW.

Joe's suggestion of two straight games at RayJay of ND v. UF is unheard of, and unprecendented.  I could see no compelling reason either would forgo the millions in home ticket revenue and tv for a nuetral venue.  FSU once did it with ND only after Orlando offered something obsene like $2M for FSU to take the game to the Citrus Bowl from Doak.  Even then the fans hated it.

That Navy game at the Citrus Bowl was a home game for the Middies.  Their relationship isn't like many in college football.  For example, ND and Navy once played in Dublin, Ireland in the mid 90s at Croke Park to a huge crowd.  Also, wasn't the FSU game during Doak's renovation??  I thought that had a lot to do with why the Citrus Bowl was chosen.

the "NEW" ND wants no part of UF.

and if we reach out potential they will want no part of us either...they love the PITT's and Purdue's of the world.
