In other words, unless you're trying to say that the leadership of the
ACC didn't think very clearly when they chose Tampa, you have no point.
Pointing a finger at the fans based on the attendance is just idiotic.

If they can't travel to Tampa, why should anyone expect them to travel
to Miami?

The Orange Bowl, where the Hokies are heading, is in fact in Miami. Pay
attention to the stands for the Orange Bowl, David.

As for why the Orange Bowl will have many more fans in attendance, that
really shouldn't be too difficult to figure out.

Then why is it so difficult for you to understand that the stands for
last year's Orange Bowl would have been full if Mizzou had gone - as
they deserved to - and that the fact that the stands at Faurot weren't
full to watch Nevada get steamrollered has no bearing on that?
