I’m not sure your getting the proper message from this story.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:39 PM
why should they be shamed? just trying to make some $$$

deja vu all over again….
December 6th, 2010 at 2:41 PM
Maybe Duffy can explain how these two sentences imply that there is little interest for this game from the Wisconsin fan base.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:42 PM
silly college kids
/should go to Stuuuuuuuuuuubhub
December 6th, 2010 at 2:42 PM
I smell bannin’ bait
December 6th, 2010 at 2:43 PM
TBL used that link as inference that nobody gave a shit about the rose bowl a few posts ago…
i dunno…selling 290 tickets per minute sounds pretty good to me.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:44 PM
If I felt it was worth the $5 I’d buy TBL a clue with it
December 6th, 2010 at 2:44 PM
It’s “you’re.” Not “your.”
I keep this. Put in safe place.

Totally.

JPQ: I’ve never liked StubHub. I’ve always found their prices to be insanely high. Of course I always think you can get a ticket at the stadium cheaper than online before it.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:47 PM
There’s talk that Shawn Watson is a candidate for the Vandy job. If I throw it $500 and help move him, think he’ll leave the Huskers? For the love of God, Vandy, if you won’t take Malzahn, please take Watson.

I saw that in the second it takes between submitting and posting. It was a dark time for me. I thought we could put it behind us, but I guess some people are cruel.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:48 PM
that’s awfully
shellfishselfish of you, husker.anyways, back to the discussion about the pac-10′s shittiness…
December 6th, 2010 at 2:49 PM
I heard that U2 tickets were being sold above face value. Must not be any demand to see them. Too bad.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:50 PM
I can’t believe there hasn’t been a post about how this elaborate fraud regarding a fictional place called Iowa has now infested Mizzou’s ability to have a legit bowl game.

December 6th, 2010 at 2:51 PM
StubHub is the worst but the fact that these kids are getting a 375% return on investment in 1.5 hrs clearly shows a lack of interest
December 6th, 2010 at 2:51 PM
Smells like braunschweiger and sharp cheddar in here.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:51 PM
It’s because Zack and company found 5k in cash and decided to buy out all the tickets and then sell them at a profit.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:51 PM
So if they actually get the $400 per ticket, doesn’t that disprove the theory that there’s no interest? I mean, who’s going to pay more than twice face value for a game nobody’s interested in?
December 6th, 2010 at 2:52 PM
Godz – I’ve never had any problem with stubhub, good prices and tickets have always gotten to into the stadium. Then again, I just used it to get tickets to Tribe games that no one else wanted.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:52 PM
You called out something recently that was annoying and picky. I didn’t forget.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:53 PM
take off your fan glasses, man!

No, I ignored when cornholio misspelled psychology in the previous thread.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:56 PM
it’s all about the eyeballs and pageviews, amiright?
December 6th, 2010 at 2:56 PM
Why is it that I still love Randal Hill but Lamar Thomas annoys me? I love this line: “I despise them. On the field, there is nothing that’s acceptable except crushing Notre Dame. And if you’re winning, run up the score.”
December 6th, 2010 at 2:57 PM
“Sikologee.” I’m impressed you held back.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:57 PM
for real. I’ve always found tickets for any event I was going to on craigslist.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:58 PM

Ha! Yes, TBL is hoping that some older, non-search engine literate Badgers fans stumble onto this oage looking for tickets
December 6th, 2010 at 2:58 PM
This should help.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:58 PM
*page* dammit. Now Hernia’s gonna come a-scalpin’
December 6th, 2010 at 2:59 PM
I’ve always liked Cleet. It’s a shame he has to be my mortal enemy for the next 25 days.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:59 PM
Looks more like 1981.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:59 PM
because lamar thomas is a fag.
December 6th, 2010 at 2:59 PM
Wow. TBL really did argue that this was proof there was little interest in the game. That’s unfortunate.

This game should be good. Better than the shitshow that is OU/Conn.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:00 PM
Someone just posted in a November 17th post.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:00 PM
I wish I could find Champ. tickets for $400. Cheapest I’m seeing so far is $700 and that’s for nose bleeds.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:00 PM
Because Lamar Thoms is a deuchebag
I’m sure Soutland will check the weather before practices.
/too soon?
December 6th, 2010 at 3:01 PM

Dude you don’t come into the OB talkin’ that stuff.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:01 PM
lol…..
Gonna have to turn this into a tag match.
Me/Jersey vs. You/Cleet with Hernia as special guest ref.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:01 PM
this list is fucking bullshit.
how the fuck is the denver nuggets mascot, the marlins mascot and that faggotty phoenix suns gorilla on there but not brutus?
this is a fucking anti-big ten conspiracy.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:02 PM
Not at all.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:02 PM
yea, because lamar thomas would try and stick his tongue down your throat.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:02 PM
Wonderful. Now SVP is on the all the bowl games except the NC don’t mean anything train. He’s smarter than that.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:03 PM
Because Brutus got beat up.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:03 PM
TBL seems to have taken the wrong message away from the NY Times piece on negativity increasing SEO juice.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:03 PM
I think it’s time for you to just SHUT. THE HELL. UP.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:03 PM
If someone could let me know when Forbes stops making those lists in the most annoying manner possible that would be great. Until then, they get no clicks.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:04 PM
Gotta pay your QB somehow.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:04 PM
Is that Jim Nantz? Weird hearing him do college football.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:05 PM
only because Sparty isn’t on it.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:07 PM
The Marketing Arm, a research company that measures consumer attitudes toward celebrities and brands, conducted a national poll to measure fans’ awareness of pro mascots
Just because Tressel pays players doesn’t make them a pro team
December 6th, 2010 at 3:07 PM
SC- for non alumni and people who don’t care about college football (me), nothing matters but the NC. The people who don’t and shouldn’t matter to college football.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:07 PM
seriously.
i clicked through that whole thing so i could bask in brutus’ glory, but alas, it was all for naught.

December 6th, 2010 at 3:08 PM
oh, pro mascots?
well never mind then.
wait…WHY ISN’T THE BROWNS MASCOT ON THERE?!?! THIS IS SOME SORT OF ANTI-RUST BELT CONSPIRACY!!!
December 6th, 2010 at 3:09 PM
By the way the Wetzel playoff would be amazing this year.
FIU (6-6) vs Auburn
Miami OH vs Oregon
Uconn vs TCU
Central Florida vs Stanford
Nevada vs Wisconsin
VT vs Ohio St.
Oklahoma vs LSU
Arkansas vs Michigan St.
I’m sure the BCS schools would agree to having 6-6 FIU in there while two loss Missouri and Oklahoma state get left out.
Barf.

i offered the gorilla a banana.
he chose the wrong one.

December 6th, 2010 at 3:10 PM
Same here, Mr. Dick. And it’s the Phoenix Gorilla, not the Phoenix Suns Gorilla.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:12 PM
the quesadilla gorilla.
December 6th, 2010 at 3:12 PM
I like the Wetzel plan! Keeping FL football relevant with 2 teams from the Sunshine State and another one that wanted to be from the Sunshine State but got lost and ended up in Ohio!
