There is no doubt in my mind that thousands of tickets already sold byTech have been sold to SU fans. We most likely will not know actual SU numbers until gameday. But I know so well that the "gold and blue" will be well represented, as usual! Even if the game sells out leaving many stranded at the gate, no fewer than 8000 SU fans will make their way to your campus. WHEN YOU TECH GUYS COME TO THE REALIZATION THAT MY PREDICTION AND THE PREDICTIONS OF OTHERS ARE COMING TRUE, YOU GUYS WILL OWE ME A TAILGATE INVITE!

I can accept the prediction that 8000 SU fans will be scattered across Ruston and N. Louisiana Labor Day Weekend. I would never argue that. You know how many of your fans travel on a given weekend to away games regardless of whether they plan to buy tickets or if walk up tickets are even available. That comradery is commendable for sure.
