  • My quick thoughts....

    1. That is an interesting CB ticket ad. You don't see enough ticket ads these days that simultaneously taunt/attack people. We need more of that.

    "For sale: 2 tickets to U2. Floor seats. You don't have to buy them, though. You can just stay home and look in the mirror at your male pattern baldness and wonder why you are a total loser. Serious inquiries only, please!"

    2. If you are looking for a deuce, buy on game day or just keeping checking craigslist, ksl, etc. If you are looking for group sales, you are going to be risking it big time. 4s are tough and the scalpers know it, so they price accordingly. Anything above 4, you better be absolutely sure that the game is not a sellout.

    3. Keep in mind that just because you go on game day, this doesn't mean you will land tickets. You need to have some ability and patience to root out the seats and the deal. It usually is not too hard, but it does take effort on the part of the buyer.

    4. I think I am going to buy day of. My goal is club seats for a C-note each (or less). This will be a good goal because I anticipate those seats to be sold out. What I will bank on, ironically, is that Labor Day plans will interfere with some folks going to the game. I know this seems counterintuitive, but holidays actually work in your favor for last minute deals. People change plans for kids or school and they have to dump their tickets at the last minute.

    If the game is not sold out, I predict you will be able to buy nosebleeds by the pair for about $35 each, no problem.

      The good seats will be a sellout, no doubt.

      • The Sooners are dead meat this September.

        Read this report of Spring practice. Max Hall couldn't miss. And JJ scored a TD!

        • I will be sitting in the club seats area with a couple of friends. One of which just recently started posting on here I believe.

          No, my computer isn't working, I'm at the library checking out a book.

                You might want to quell your enthusiasm.

                I'm checking out "The Obama Nation" by Jerome Corsi.

                  lol...you know what's funny about that is I think my making fun of him has hit home a little bit for a couple of reasons.

                  #1. He's only charging half of the upcharge of what he did for the Washington game.

                  #2. He mentions me in his ad.

                  • Unfortunately, I am no longer able to attend The BLUE RIVER SHOOTOUT. Disney has changed the date of my half marathon to Sunday the 6th. It sucks but it is our family tradition to hit D-land at this time.

                      After all the drama, it's a shame we can't host a CUF gathering at "the house"

After visitng the book depository and related sites twice, there really wasn't much else to do, it seemed to me. I like a lot of texans, and I even lived in Texas foir a while. But I think there is as much to do in Odessa Texas, where I lived, as there is in Dallas, and that is not a positive reflection on either one.
                        Dallas is a great place to live and work but a crappy place to visit.

                        • Is there any known reason why the OU/BYU game is not on this list?

                            Because they figure it's going to be a rout, so they used the BYU-FSU game instead. That'd be my guess. They're not going to put two BYU games on there.

                              That sounded snotty. What I meant was, they're not going to put two games of any one team on there, I don't think.

                              • It didn't sound snotty at all. It was probably rather accurate.
