Central/Western: Pregame notes

The stadium's filling up, the atmosphere's getting louder and kickoff is about 20 minutes away. Sounds like a typical Central/Western weekend, something we really haven't seen in two years since last year's game was on a Tuesday. The press box is crowded, too; I have to use a smaller amount of space because of how many people are in here!

I'm not absolutely sure of a sell-out just yet, but it looks like people are going to fill the stadium from end to end. There's a crowd of black shirts already on the visiting side, which is refreshing to see since neither Buffalo nor Temple brought much of a following. (Then again, they're not in-state, either) I would guess around 28,000 to 30,000 people, easily.

There really isn't much to update on prior to kickoff. Junior quarterback Dan LeFevour was seen warming up and throwing the football and he looked like he usually does, despite his ankle injury last week. I'll be sure to update some of you if something happens, but as of right now, he's starting and should be ready.
