I think I might have to be in for this. A weekend trip to Ireland for a football game sounds like a good time.

The Ohio State Alumni Association is offering their ridiculous game packages again.
$1,439 to go to the Rutgers game. Without flights. Fuckers.
They offered game tickets for $118, but they're already sold out. Meaning they put like a dozen of their ticket allotment from Rutgers in those and then stuffed the rest in these stupid packages.

Yeah it really does. If it was my team I'd think seriously about going.
To be fair non awful tickets (and most of those guests tickets are awful) for this game have been crazy, the Tri State has the biggest bandwagoning fans in the country and you're seeing that affect here.

If ohio state ever played overseas i woudl first be really pissed off because im 100% against the idea of neutral field games let alone games in another country. Then i would get over it and go on a week long trip to the UK
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
I don't mind neutral site games that are played in the same location every year between rivals. Not many of those left though.

I'm fine with the established one, cocktail/red rive/etc. Its these bullshit start of the season ones I hate.
Oh yeah the AA i nuts, and I would never buy anything from them. I always go to one away game a year and get out at well under half of what they would charge.

Nah, theyre like that ridiculous price to go to Iowa City too.
True true. I like big time matchups but like you I prefer home and home if it's not the big annual ones at neutral sites.
The only way I'd pay that much is if Nebraska made it to the playoffs. The years of Nebraska being in the Big 12 and all the tickets for schools in Texas being cheap as hell spoiled me. Why does Big Ten territory have to be so fucking far away?
So what does that tOSU package actually include? Ticket and hotel I assume? Any meals?
Last year I went on a trip to Lawrence to watch my Pokes play the Jayhawks. Only cost me gas money and $30 for two tickets, and we got to sit anywhere we wanted.
Big 12 football. Feel the excitement.

4 day trip, 3 nights at the Westin in Times Square and all the festivities (they really didn't go into to much detail of what's on the itinerary). It's still an incredibly exorbitant price, don't get me wrong, but Times Square isn't cheap.
Nebraska is also visiting this year and their's isn't much cheaper.

It includes 10 hours worth of tattoos, what else?

I guess with the hotel included the price is tad bit more justifiable.
Still, it's annoying that they clearly take the bulk of their ticket allotment and try to force you to buy these stupid packages. They can't simply sell more of the standalone game tickets. It's irritating.
You'll be able to stub hub tickets for this game pretty easily and you don't want the tickets that are allotted to tOSU.
Ticket prices are really high now but they'll drop down closer to the game and you can get better seats closer to the tOSU sideline.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
They are rotating through the major Catholic schools vs a non Catholic opponent. Granted they are gonna run out of schools now. Would work way better for basketball since there a shit ton of D1 Catholic schools for basketball vs football. *shrug*
I rescind any criticism of that price. That's a great deal.

Prices weren't listed for Rutgers or other away games yet on the MSU ticket site, but I've never seen bundles like that through the university before. Though I expect Rutgers to be the only reasonably priced and obtainable away game ticket this season (@WMich, Mich, OStU & Corn).
That bundle is cable bundle levels of bad.
Didn't they just change them?
Reading on it more, seems like the recommendation is to try one last time to get the NCAA to enact the SEC's desired rule of "50 miles from Campus", when the NCAA meets this month. If it doesn't make it, starting "next year" they'll open it up for SEC coaches to go anywhere like the rest of the NCAA.
The reason for the rule was to keep the SEC schools from doing camps in each other's backyards, moreso than trips up to Ohio, Michigan, California or Texas.

Speaking of SEC, I didn't know until recently it was SEC policy that no alcohol can be sold in stadiums. Texas's new President wants to add booze in DKR ASAP, and the Big 12 don't care. aggy couldn't sell beer if they wanted to thanks to being in the SEC.

Satellite camps are BS. Shut em down. Goddamn FCS schools selling themselves.
Seriously, when was the last time Harbaugh's skin saw the sun?

Dat #SEC bling.
I don't get what's the big deal?
I mean did he lie?
Trying to belittle a competitor's experience when he has much more success than you is a poor idea.
And give yet another advantage to schools in the South? Not happening. It's one of the few ways staff from a state in middle America can get exposure with kids in the South or on either coast.
When I see the name Jedd Fisch I definitely think of success.
Going to be interesting when UGA goes to camps in Florida and Texas next year. And Bama has a camp in Atlanta and Florida. The SEC had that rule primarily to keep conference schools out of each other's back yard.Jhriad said:
I really doubt that UGA getting to go to a state that's directly to the south and Bama going to two states that it borders is going to get either school the chance to meet many recruits that it wouldn't have otherwise been able to get on campus. It'll certainly be interesting to see some SEC schools go into Texas though.

Official visits are still a tool and allow the student to actually see the realities of middle America and the campuses. They also have big expensive TV contracts and productions to get the word out. Not sure how a mini camp at Daytona Beach shows off the campus experience.
Can't help if the south is the popular place to be right now!
And then Michigan gets to the National Championship two out of the next three years, Harbaugh gets fired and half of Michigan's team retires.
