Wonder how ticket sales are going, both teams.

[Jaggator]

A real human interest story...



Wonder if she'll be in attendance? If so, Gator & Louisville fans will miss what's happening on the field. There is a new sexy super fan on the block! This New Orleans Saints fan had her photos snapped at the NFC Championship game vs the Vikings a couple years ago and the rest is history.

Just ordered my tix! Can't wait to see you there! Let's have a better turnout than the last Sugar Bowl!

[RayGator]

I hope so too. So far though there is not as much attention on this Sugar Bowl thread as I though there would be.

[born2beagator]

Win it for baby Burton!

37-17

[gatorbogey]

what's our overall record in bowl games? we're right around 0.500, correct? need to win to either get above .500 or stay above it.

and in sugar bowls - we're, like, 3 & 5, right?
wins over west virginny, fsu, cincy; losses to missouri, nebraska, ND, fsu, miami. (?)
can improve on that individual bowl record, as well.

[ETGator1]

Bowl Game Record: 20-19 and on 4 bowl game winning streak

Sugar Bowl Record: 3-5
