If all of those single ticket requests were honored, how in the hell would you sell season tickets for those seats? You wouldn't be able to. You would effectively be reducing the amount of season tickets that are available to be sold. Makes perfect sense.<BR/><BR/>This is a brilliant plan by Pollard. He knows what he is doing.<BR/><BR/>BryanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27489210.post-1169132153215759682007-01-18T08:55:00.000-06:002007-01-18T08:55:00.000-06:00I just watched the Raw interview with Pollard and ...I just watched the Raw interview with Pollard and I have to say that I really don't think he knows what he is talking about. At any rate, there are single game tickets available for all the other games except for the Iowa game? Did I hear that right?

It's the same case every year. 51 days of not playing. <BR/><BR/>Do you really think that "all four corners of the country" all equally saw the Big Ten was overrated? Nah, I don't buy it. <BR/><BR/>It was one game, over a 13 game body of work. Florida was ready and I can't believe OSU wasn't. I'm not an OSU fan (far from it) but they were a very good team. They didn't show up and got exposed for just that. Let's not allow hybole to get the best of us.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and PS...Michigan waited almost as long. Plus I hate the Rose Bowl for the very reason that you're playing SC or UCLA in either their home stadium or their backyard, and a stadium they play in every year. It's practically a home game. <BR/><BR/>I wish there could be some bowls where the SEC or PAC 10 could go up to Camp Randall or Michigan Stadium in January. Don't give me the story about tickets not selling as they'd sell out easily. Then we could see how those teams play ball in our backyards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27489210.post-1168977533153940932007-01-16T13:58:00.000-06:002007-01-16T13:58:00.000-06:00Yeah, I think it's utterly stupid for Iowa fans to...Yeah, I think it's utterly stupid for Iowa fans to have to pay for season tickets to see the Hawkeyes beat ISU next year in football. what is Pollard thinking?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27489210.post-1168884343620131882007-01-15T12:05:00.000-06:002007-01-15T12:05:00.000-06:00I agree with you Murph about Friday Night Lights. ...I agree with you Murph about Friday Night Lights.

I was thinking all along I was a perv thinking she was a hot little highschool girl and be young enough to be my daughter but then I saw on TV someplace a couple weeks ago she is 27 in real life.

I finally realized when I go to a Casino I'm not any good at table games. I am however (immodestly) knowledgeable about football. I'll admit an ISU bias, but I don't let it cloud my judgment when betting on football games. I did bet against Iowa out of principle only, even though I thought the spread was too large. So 2 out of 3 means I came out ahead. I'll just keep from betting on Iowa anymore as I'm biased! Oh by the way, I live on the East Coast so I'm not influenced by the Big 10. Its all ACC out here (its painful), and you'd think they were the SEC the way the media hypes them up out here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27489210.post-1168629771956608962007-01-12T13:22:00.000-06:002007-01-12T13:22:00.000-06:00Keith: Never watched Friday Night Lights till I r...Keith: Never watched Friday Night Lights till I read one of your many reviews.

However, in this case, Ohio State was a consensus #1 from every corner of the U.S. The Big Ten was simply overrated.<BR/><BR/>I get the feeling you're forgetting the times you bet against the Big Ten and lost, but I understand your point. And I will do the chores.<BR/><BR/>Glad you enjoyed People's.

I made quite a bit of cash from the bowls picking Florida and USC. You must have got caught up in the Big 10 media hype (make sense, since you're in it). The writing on the wall was there when OSU handily beat Texas earlier in the year. It didn't mean OSU was good, it meant Texas wasn't nearly as good as people thought, and hence neither was OSU. OSU kept winning against mediocre competition and so did Michigan. The Big 10 conference as a whole has been mediocre for years (sorry for the long paragraph). <BR/><BR/>You deserve to do your son's chores for a week, listen to him more from now on, he sounds like a bright kid! :) <BR/><BR/>In the immortal words of Favor Flav "don't believe the hype". Don't listen to other media personalities, and analyze who plays who and how throughout the season and you won't get blinded by overhyped teams.<BR/><BR/>Peace, give Johnny Orr my best the next time you see him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27489210.post-1168564506039529192007-01-11T19:15:00.000-06:002007-01-11T19:15:00.000-06:00Thanks for giving UNI mens bball some credit, even...Thanks for giving UNI mens bball some credit, even if they did lose the other night.
