1) Author refers to the Miners as "Texas-El Paso"
2) Author not thrilled to be covering UB sports
3) Author assumes UTEP fans won't wear blue
4) 20k = Big Crowd (no surprise)

Show no mercy Miners!

I wish the game was on TV in my area (non-sarcastically speaking). Internet feed perhaps?

20K is a HUGE game for UB, I went last year to Baylor game and it was maybe 9K in attend so 20K is great for UB.

I think they usually have decent attendance for the first few games. The weather gets rough late in the season.

Buffalo has more upside than everybody else in the MAC, JMO.

Temple has the most upside, IMO.

In all the years that MU played in Buffalo, there were many times that MU had nearly as many fans there as UB did. The attendance there has NOTHING to do with the weather. Look at the NFL games there, they are a hardy bunch.
UB has had some very bad football teams and a city that has NO interest in the college game. Buffalo is an NFL and NHL town.

The only college football people in Buffalo care aboiut is Syracuse then you have alot PSU/ND/Big ten fans in the area.

is it televised?

locally in EP and Buffalo...

The last time Marshall played at UB, there was 7200 people there, 4700 which were Marshall fans.
