Ticket prices for this game are perhaps the most expensive of any game in the history of college football. The stories circulating on local sports radio and message boards are that brokers and services such as StubHub have sold tickets to prime clients that they don't yet have.

Based on one ad in I saw I am starting to find it hard to justify not leaving the kids at home and using the ticket money to pay for a year of community college. I have had to keep ldc away from the info as 2 weeks ago when prices were half what they are now she thought we should sell and just stay home.

See if Cam can get you some tickets. He seems to have found a pretty good deal for courtside Lakers-Suns seats.. Dude has turned into Marlo from The Wire, he has no respect for the law (NCAA) and doesn't try and hide it anymore.

The Ducks were also at the game last night.

So you are saying both teams cheat and are corrupt? I suspected as much, but it is good to have a booster acknowledge the fact.

High ticket prices make sense since the face value of the tickets keep going up most years. Rose Bowl tickets 10 years ago cost $80. Now they cost $135.

Like any other event, there will be tickets for sale on the day of the game just outside the stadium. If I were you, I would definitely sell high now. That is a sucker bet.

I'm not selling.

I'm not selling.

Perhaps I can persuade you to sell for double face value of the ticket. I doubt you will get a better deal.

The Rose Bowl is also a larger venue. I can't imagine what prices would have been if the RB seated 60,000.

I am jealous, btw. I think I'm the only one that's never been to any bowl game.

I spent our natl title game (the one we won) stranded with my in-laws, who are maddeningly ignorant of college football and who, when I tried to explain the magnitude BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, replied with, "yeah, the U of Montana won that last year."

You will regret it. If those articles you linked are accurate, you could make more than 10x what you paid. Wait until 30 minutes before kickoff and buy tickets for way less than that. Your entire trip would be free.

Trust me. Remember the Rose Bowl tickets?

Darron Thomas calls Auburn's Nick Fairley dirty.

I think this is actually a smart move to have this said in the media. Fairley, in my opinion, does toe the line of dirty play when it comes to QBs. The stuff he did to the Georgia QB in particular warranted some disciplinary action. I think Oregon is smart to make the issue salient.

I realize that it was pre-BCS but the Orange Bowl after the 1985 season would have to be considered a national title game for the Sooners (OU 25 PSU 10). Just reading the "our natl title game" one might think the Sooners only have 1 national championship when the Sooners have over a half dozen (7). Like you would need any reminding of this but others may.

Thomas is definitely right, Nick Fairley is a dirty player. The spearing on the Georgia QB was pretty blatant, although the helmet to his knee wasn't intentional. Fairley is going to be paying a lot of fines in the NFL.

7? lol. I forgot that they only had 7.
