How huge?

"There will be a lot of people in town that don't have tickets," Gaddy said. "There's 10,000-plus even for a nonconference game that don't even have tickets. For this game, there will be 20-(thousand) or 30,000 people in town that don't have a ticket. It will be a huge week. Not just a day but a week. ... They'll start coming in (next) Wednesday or Thursday."

I remember in 2005 for the Tennessee game someone said they were expecting 30,000+ people without tickets to come into town.  There were 18,000 fewer seats then.

Maybe they can go to Jamos' tailgating party.  :)

I think I can speak for Jamos when I say, "People painted purple are not welcome."

Not only are sports writers hyping the game, but now they are hyping the size of the crowd outside the stadium.

Not to mention the thousands at Jamos' tailgating party!  ;D

I am staioned her in Looserana (Shreveport) and will be in Arkansas (where my wife is from) for the game. I am runing a half marathon that morning, then going to sit on the couch all day and ice my knees and my beer.

Should be a great game. I am hyped for it. :)
