and a few old farts actually bought it?
One.
One old fart.


Great pass D, bad offense.  Kicker made 20% of his FG attempts.  Not a great 9-2 team.

I've paid mostly Stubhub some money to see a few games over the past decade or so.  I'm pretty much done with the experience.  To me, it's "interesting", in some ways, especially to see some new venue, but still not much worth a lot of effort and expense.

I'd like to experience a PSU White Out for 10 minutes or a night game in Baton Rouge, and maybe some other things.   But I think I'm done.

I think I don't have to worry about Purdue coming out here until 2026 if I've read the schedules right. At least for football. 

I'm sure they'll visit at least one of the teams in basketball. But depending on schedule I might not want to have any part of that. If it's a weeknight or a Friday, there's no way I'm trying to get to USC or UCLA. I don't care if it's a Boiler/Bruin battle when they're ranked #1 and #2 in the country and they're going to exhume John Wooden for the opening tip-off.

They should sell Gene Keady combover headbands or something.

If I'm traveling at all, I feel better getting tickets in advance.  And I'm leary about counterfeits if it's a big game.  My last few tickets were electronic.

Obviously, I'll risk some to save a few bucks

and I have some experience in doing so and it's always turned out OK.

in bartering or buying it's always powerful to have the leverage to simply walk away

traveling from Iowa to Tempe and Pasadena isn't my favorite thing, but I saved some good coin on tickets outside the stadium an hour before kickoff.
I was willing to watch at the local sports bar, but was confident there would be tickets for sale much cheaper.
I was correct.

I'm usually trying to see games that are going to be highly watched, so tickets are expensive, $300 each, for nosebleeds.

I'm not trying to knock $45 down to $35.

Expect to see Nebraska in Bloomington, WLaf or both this fall.

Nebraska has only visited Bloomington once since the 1970s.

More of what we went back about forth over back in April when you couldn't be bothered with adjusting your schedule to avoid watching Purdue's Final Four game while crammed in coach class. In this case you're years ahead of knowing when your team will be making their visit to your neck of the woods and you're already making excuses! You're forsaking a pilgrimage!

Work is expecting me to be in Hawaii later this summer. Would be third August in a row they sent me to the Islands. If their plans hold I'll plan for Hawaii's Week Zero game Vs...Delaware State. Never gone to a Week Zero game.

I got the three game package for three home games:  the Friday night game vs Illinois, the game vs Northern Iowa game and the UCLA game which is the week before my 70th birthday (that day is the bye week).  Looking forward to all games this year.

Back in the day if a few of us needed a ticket we'd wait outside the old stadium until K.O. then walk thru the lots acting not interested. Ticket touts would dropping them like bad stocks during a market malaise
