    Not really surprising I guess. I'll bet most of the BCS bowl games are sucking when it comes to ticket sales.

    There are thousands and thousands of tickets left for the Orange Bowl too. Most of them for around $14-$15...

    I guess FSU vs. Northern Illinois isn't the entertainment blockbuster that they wanted......eh? Geeeeezzz... Even their mothers won't travel for that one...

    They pack the Swamp for Bowling Green and Jacksonville St. You'd think that they'd be used to bad match ups.

    Nope. I wish it was, I'd go to the game.

    Well slap my ass and call me Sally... you mean that whole 'stupid tradition' thing that the Rose Bowl is often mocked for is still working?

    Who'd of thunk it?

    :shock:
    Incredibly, I found there are still about 4000 tickets left for the Rose Bowl on Stub-Hub starting at $99 and going up to $26,318 for the luxury suite , so the scalpers aren't getting their usual arm-and-a-leg.

    In defense of the market, the hog whisperer bailing really puts a damper on things.
