What do you all expect for this? Morgantown is 3 hours from Cleveland whereas Lex is about 5 but we obviously travel a lot better. Is this going to be a 60/40 split in our favor? 70/30? Something else?

This. We knew UK would be here all season while the rest of the teams had no clue.Originally posted by Kramer318:
Yep...UK fans knew this was the site we were going to since the beginning of the year... They won't be giving their tickets up so we will have a distinct crowd advantage...
Bank on it.
The only locals that get "first dibs" are Cleveland State season ticket holders.......not many of them.Originally posted by realism:
ND has a ton of big dollar fans in the Northeast. WVU has a rabid fan base and travels very well. Wich St, actually travels really well, but that's a long ways for them.
UK will, obviously, have the most, due to buying the tickets before a game was even played. But, the other 3 schools will ALL be anti-UK. So, even though there will be more blue, I look for the other colors to "blend" and equal it out, somewhat. Plus, I'm pretty sure the "locals" aren't too keen on the Cats and probably had first dibs on the tix.
Blue will get in....and get in big...unless a lot of people are saving their money for Indy.
That won't be the case this time for the reasons others have already stated in this thread.Originally posted by bdkatfan:
I hope that is the case. WV traveled really well to Syracuse in 2010. They outnumbered us significantly and were loud.

Guys, WV doesn't have a large fanbase. They're very bandwagon, as well. There are a TON of UK fans in WV, too. So, I wouldn't expect them to have nearly the crowd that you might think there.Originally posted by mcwildcats04:

They play the first game so if they lose, you can bet they will be cheering against Kentucky. I'm fine with a 50/50 split. Some of UK's better performances this season have been on legitimate neutral sites.Originally posted by TheFolker:
I'm not so sure Wichita St. fans will be anti-UK. I think they want their shot at payback.
This is the correct answer. WVU would bring a big crowd, if there were plenty of tickets available. But they will have a hard time getting their hands on tickets beyond the allotment given to the school by the NCAA.Originally posted by Kramer318:

Based on what? WV just doesn't have much of a fanbase at all.Originally posted by UK_Norm:

I don't really see how distance affects BBN. We could be playing in Alaska and BBN would still pack the place out.Originally posted by mcwildcats04:
