This according to Ms Andrea Adelson at ESPN’s Big East Blog:
"The Bearcats have moved about 9,000 tickets for their game against Vanderbilt in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl on Dec. 31 in Nashville, Tenn. Doug Mosley, associate athletic director for external and media communications, says: “Sales continue to be steady. Our student trip package did well and our fans have responded generously to the One Team, One Ticket offer, where they purchase tickets for students and spirit groups. Overall, we’re very pleased with how UC fans and our community has stepped up to support the Bearcats’ trip to the 53rd Annual AutoZone Liberty Bowl.”"
Tip of the cap to the Bearcats fans for nearly selling out their allotment. Most people around the country rave about West Virginia having a strong, loyal fanbase. And they do but Cincinnati fans are often overlooked for being able to travel well. Remember, UC sold something like 17,000 tickets to the Sugar Bowl in 2010 and brought thousands of fans to the PapaJohns.com Bowl in 2007. Cincinnati has again proven that it has a very good following and will fill up stadiums at neutral site games. Having a history like this will only help the Bearcats get more prestigious bowls in the future.
