Quote:I agree, although I must admit that getting the Notre Dame v Navy game here is a lot bigger than it appears.  I'd love to see them establish a College Kickoff Game like they have in Atlanta & Dallas.

 

The women's SEC Tourney kind of came & went with little to no publicity.  I didn't even realize it was here until the final was slated.

 

No offense to the womens games, but losing out on the mens baseball tourney was a big deal.  That put a lot of butts in seats downtown.  You just aren't going to pull much attendance with womens basketball.

 

Notre Dame/Navy was a good get....I just think the diminished level of the Gator Bowl (yes, I'm still going to call it that) is pretty sad.  It's a meaningless bowl game now.
