But there weren't many ND fans in the stadium .... it was 90% UM fans as all season ticket holders showed up and so did those that bought single game tickets. The week before the place was on fire ... lit up like crazy for the Va Tech game. Herbstreit did the Tech game and was blown away by the fan support and "noise". The ND game ... Kelly said the week before the game "Noise .. no problem .. ND is used to playing in big games and when we play USC and Michigan it is loud". I was watching him TRYING TO BE INTERVIEWED by ESPN 45 minutes before kickoff with only 40,000 or so fans in their seats (the rest were still tailgating as it was 100% sold out) ... his eyes were like saucers ... huge ... and he couldn't hear the questions. He had that 'deer in the headlights look" and it didn't go away. Best game Richt game planned for in his tenure. Have watched it a dozen times. There will be 50,000 there for the Bethune Cookman game ... people are fired up .... want to see the new staff ... the new offense .... THE NEW DEFENSE. Cannot wait!!! UM will be the hottest team in Florida this year, and next year, and the year after. FSU is in the toilet, and UF isn't that far behind them. They will both be dwarfed by UM's successes. Go Canes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
