Like you, I've never cared to go to a bowl game, but it would've been awesome this year. Already decided I'm at least going to the location should the Bucks be in the semi's next year. Dallas or Miami, not bad spots.

They're down under $475 for nose bleeds. Might wait another day if they haven't dropped any more I'll pull the trigger on those
Fuck it

That confused me. So I pay $470/ticket if I'm drawn to purchase them. But what are the locations of my tickets?

Have to question past National Champions and if they truly were the best. This year FSU and Ala would have been in the NC game next week, and now with aplayoff that shows how wrong it woulda been.
Every time we predict a shootout in the title the complete opposite it seems happens. Remember Oregon/Auburn?

I didn't read any of it, just saw it on Twitter and knew you were looking for tix. Would imagine it's pretty far up there in the OSU section.

Can get them for $500'ish online.

Could wait until day of to see if they've dropped any bit and if not, just watch from a bar.

Decisions decisions
Tickets for sugar bowl dropped bigtime day of Game. Probably will be the same in Dallas.

Can't wait for this game. I like the chances for OSU. Should be fun. Will be in front of my fireplace and the big screen. I think you can not see a game better than that. The atmosphere at the game will be awesome but you guys can tell me about it....

I'm sure this news is gonna piss some people off, but OSU will be wearing the new scarlet jerseys with the gray stripe and black number on the shoulders. Oregon will be wearing a white and silver combo with absolutely no green or yellow to be found.

This.

All those "traditionalists".

I love the jerseys. I also really like Oregon's, just think it's stupid that in a game like this they have no green or yellow.

The Oregon football brand is more about flash and originality than any actual color scheme or pattern.

At least that what it seems like over the past few years.

From an publicity standpoint it has certainly worked and I see kids/teens in Oregon gear frequently enough so it seems to work.

Being a more traditionalist I am not huge of the new uniforms that many teams sport all the time.

I have changed my tune, a little bit, if they still at least keep the prominent colors of your team. I have seen a few teams don some uniforms that if you tuned in not knowing whom they were, you would have to wait to figure it out. ORegon not having their main colors in these is just stupid.

For the most part, OSU has kept with the traditional colors. I was even a fan of the chrome helmets.


But if they ever have a black jersey I will flip the fuck out!!!

I think we are more likely to see a gray/silver one.

All 4 playoff teams are Nike.

Since 1998(the first BCS year), all but 2 Champions(Tennessee and Auburn) have been Nike.
