BCS BOWL GAMES TO SPUR SCALPING SUICIDES LEFT AND RIGHT

The Sugar Bowl is now looking like a bigger TV bomb than the Fiesta Bowl.

Which bowl committee wants a do-over and TCU in New Orleans now?

A drifter with a colorful past who became governor!

And, here, I immediately thought of Paul Newman playing Earl Long in “Blaze.”

Orson,
                    I know you were successful at picking up SECC tickets the day of, but based upon your recent BCS experience, do you think its possible to pick up tix for the BCS Championship Game for under the price of a hog huntin crossbow and a pair of jorts ( had to put it into Central Florida currency, that would be $500 bucks American)

A Sniglet that has stayed with me all these years: Piyan, n.: Any miscellaneous item thrown in on a TV ad. (acronym: “Plus If You Act Now”)

I don’t know from Sniglets, but it is a sad day in the annals of Florida Football that a new years’ eve trip to to the Sloshfest that is New Orleans on New Years Eve is not worthy of the haughty Gator crowd. It has to be the best (and most convenient for some) consolation bowl location. Now the football team knows how the basketball teams felt the last two years……..If you don’t win (always), they wont come…..

Having said that, I am staying home….

I got mine…the bull gator ticket people even asked “are you sure you don’t want more? 10? 20?, for your friends?”

At least my seats should be awesome…

Back when we played Miami in the Sugar Bowl in ’01, people were giving tickets away at game time…

A few points that need said…

The Superdome has the worst sightline of any stadium I have ever attended. That was in the 12th row at the 50, so higher up would have definitly been better.

Bowl committees will take note of the UF fanbase not showing up for future consideration. You want Big Ten teams to not get 2 BCS invites? Show up when invited or quit bitching. Iowa and tOSU will make their presence known in Miami and Pasadena. And don’t give me the line that it is a letdown. tOSU travels regardless of the bowl, as does the entire Big Ten.

If you want to travel like Miami, you will only be invited to bowls in Orlando, Tampa or Miami. I would think that for Tim Tebow’s last game as a Gator QB, there would be more interest, regardless of opponent.

No one ever gave out awards for the Florida Gator fanbase, but I’m still confused about post 3. Why is someone from Alabama making fun of hog hunting?

Looks like i’m going to the sugar bowl this year

that orange bowl score is bullshit.

if iowa doesn’t score 100 on tech, they need to fire their offensive coordinator and hire a kinkajou (one has recently become available).

also, no way the bees score 17 on iowa.

big ten speed!

or

that offense will never work in big time college football.

or

all iowa has to do is watch the tape of last year’s bowl game to get the blueprint to beat gt.

or

iowa is a disciplined team and knows how to play assignment football.

I think the Orange Bowl game will be more like a chess match.

I think the Orange Bowl deserves whatever ticket sales it gets after scheduling it on the TUESDAY after New Years. Yeah, that’s a convenient time for traveling across the country and taking 2-3 days off of work.

You want all that TV money and scheduling, BCS bowls? Fine, but then don’t act shocked when people elect to stay home and watch in glorious HD.

Again, I love the prediction that the Hawkeyes are going to explode on the Yellow Jackets, based on……what? That Big Ten Speed?

Can they win it? Of course, but then this is also the team that is 4-5 miracles removed from having at least 4-5 losses.

I wouldn’t call FSU, Clemson twice, and Wake Forest miracles, but GT could easily have lost those games. I should know, because I was freaking the fuck out during them.

Perhaps the Florida lads will need some motivation to get fired up for the Sugar Bowl. I respectfully suggest the Urbanator show them last year’s game. Reducing it to a consolation can result in a painful off-season (though a loss does seem to provide substantial motivation for the year following). Anyway….just a thought.

Speaking as a Bama fan that was in this same situation last year, I know how you feel.

But for Christ’s sakes Gators, your team is in a BCS game, in Nawlins, on Bourbon Street, and you’ll be sending out your savior Timmy Tebow on a downer?! Sack up and stop pouting like your QB after the SEC Championship. Even though we all felt it was like a consolation game, Bama fans packed the house. Yes, I’m calling you Gators out.

Crabapple,
We both know the reason Big 10 fans travel to whatever bullshit bowl their teams are in….because ANY PLACE in the world is 4 billion times better than being anywhere a Big 10 fan lives at this time of year.

Boy, I sure wish we could play Utah this year……..but we will have to take our frustrations on Colt McCoy….McElwain, McElroy, McCoy…..so many micks, its like Fowler said….“This game sounds like its taking place at St. Dominics…….”

How many tickets would Gator Fan have to order to get the magnetic arm AND the girl behind the wheel? I’m just sayin, maybe the problem is the throw-in.

Poor Chris Hetland of the ’06 Gators….

This site will suck no less than 30 minutes from my day today

Hah, that’s pretty funny. Nice link there, too, Honcho.

The best thing you can do is shop around and compare. I found this helpful site when I was digging for tickets to the bowl game.:
http://www.2009bowlgames.com/allstate-sugar-bowl-tickets

I like them because they have the major vendors and help you compare prices between them.

I would just like somewhere to say this….fuck the Rose Bowl committee and only sending 19K tix to the Universities. I guess you can tell, I fell below the cutoff line, huh. I am still taking my ass out to Cali and see if I can score BCSCG tix for only an arm and 1/2 a leg. If not, will still party it up with The BAMA Nation postgame, Pasadena will never recover.
