2014 College Football Thread

We can say which conference is the best by looking at the number of teams going bowling this year. And this year, that honor, with 11 teams, goes to no other conference than the Atlantic Coast Conference for intercollegiate athletics!

You know who we are playing This Bowl Season?


Ourselves.

 

[MrG]

Fun fact: Florida had the second-longest active bowl streak until this season.

FSU was/is #1, followed by VaTech now at #2, and UGA/Tech now tied for #3.

Plus have you seen the cost of available tickets. Close to 500 bucks. I got an email from the MSU AA and packages were 2k and DID NOT include TRAVEL OR TICKETS to the game.

I enjoy watching my Spartans, but i will enjoy it probably just as much with friends at a bar.

So what the hell does the package contain for $2k?

yeah that was crazy and they ******* sold out of them in 14 hours or something crazy.

if you follow some of the MSU message boards, people were gobbling up Stanford's allotment today. $180 all-in for tickets, which is face value, the same price that MSU will offer to donors this week and the public on Friday. FWIW, ticketmaster releases some tomorrow, but you pretty much have to the quickest trigger finger alive and a 100MB connection to get through.

but you are right......I'm watching it a bar. as much as I'd love to go the thought of dropping close to $3000 for a weekend is a little steep for a football game.

Honestly, not much. Straight from the email. A $2,189 standard tour included

Four nights' accommodations at the Omni Los Angeles or similar (you will be notified of your hotel with your final confirmation documents)
Welcome Orientation Breakfast - December 30
Official University Pep Rally
Complete Rose Bowl Game-Day Package:
Deluxe continental breakfast
Escorted deluxe motorcoach transfer to and from the tailgate/game
Fun-filled pre-game tailgate party
Post-game Victory meal at the hotel
Optional tours, outings and excursions
Custom Alumni Association souvenir package
Luggage tags, document packet, Rose Bowl name badge and lanyard
Alumni Association hosts and escorts
Special Alumni information and hospitality desk at the hotel.

Basically, some junk souvenirs that you can buy online and hotel accommodations. If you wanted a package with airfare, the price rose to $3200.

This is going to be one of the most intriguing Championship Game matchups in a long time. I have no clue who has the upper hand.

Man that's gouging your alumni. Makes me wonder how many they've sold so far.

Apparently enough to already sell out

WTF....$2k?

The Seminole boosters have NC tix for mid 300s.

^ I was thinking that was crazy but after briefly looking at hotel prices and everything, it isn't THAT crazy.
