Wow, that is one heck of alot of zero's. Those are Obama numbers. Hopfully our new coachs and players can help get enough wins to get the fans in the stands to help pay for the proposed renovations.

Fans, coaches and players won't be a problem I am only 24 but I have never ever seen the excitement for the football team. We are getting the best players competing with Bama and LSU for players while renovating Commonwealth.

We just sold 23k on the first day of Spring Game tickets, with 6 weeks left to get them. We just offered the number 3 player in the nation and he is strongly considering us.
