Is there an Alumni Game roster published anywhere?

So no need to get Bolden now?

For season tickets, do they still offer the $99 GA season pass?

I’m not sure TCU has 20,000 living alumni.

They took Trump off the ballot for the Republican primary or for the entire state’s general election?

Skinner has another year at Texas?

3600 and was obviously rejected. Going to be hard to break into the top. I’m guessing each of those who got tickets are getting 10-12 each?

Nothing for Burt Auburn? Hmm.

Yep, I can see that now. Odd. When you go to see your rank on the Loyalty Points website it gives you your rank out of the total number of LHF members (40k).

Can any math wizards make sense of the rankings below? If there are 40,581 total accounts, wouldn't the top 10% be account 4,058 and lower? https://texassports.com/sports/2021/2/22/loyalty-points.aspx?id=931 Football Season Ticket Holders Loyalty Points Rankings as of 11/7/2023 Range Rank Out of All Accounts With Points Rank Out of FB STH Point Range 1-10% 3-1,796 1-1,627 953,399-2,297.06 11-20% 1,797-3,597 1,628-3,254 2,296.5-1,086.9 21-30% 3,598-5,420 3,255-4,881 1,086.66-620.7 31-40% 5,421-7,304 4,882-6,508 620.5-345 41-50% 7,305-9,213 6,509-8,136 345-209.55 51-60% 9,214-11,237 8,137-9,763 209.8-140.5 61-70% 11,238-13,259 9,764-11,390 140-69 71-80% 13,260-15,458 11,391-13,017 68.75-33 81-90% 15,459-17,793 13,018-14,644 33-15 91-100% 17,795-40,581 14,645-16,272 15-1

He jumped a bit early on Cincy, UCF, and UH. Would have been better off with the Pac 10 schools and BYU.

This is an article from 2014 when the Playoff system was announced. I have had a hard time finding anything else. If unchanged, it is 12,500 to semis and 20,000 to finals. NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — The new College Football Playoff system will require participating teams and leagues to buy at least 12,500 tickets to each game – a significant reduction from the 17,500-ticket requirements that saddled several participants with millions of dollars in unsold tickets for Bowl Championship Series games. BCS executive director Bill Hancock told USA TODAY Sports that the 12,500-ticket requirement will include the two semifinal games, plus the Cotton, Chick-fil-A and Fiesta Bowls. Those three games, plus the Rose, Sugar and Orange Bowls, are part of new playoff and premium bowl rotation, which starts next season and replaces the BCS. Hancock said the national championship game will have a requirement of about 20,000. Though some teams easily found buyers for their 17,500 tickets in the BCS era, others struggled and were stuck with the full-price bill for them anyway. In 2011, for example, Connecticut reported that it lost $1.6 million on its Fiesta Bowl trip because of $2.6 million in unsold tickets. "I think it's more in line with what the schools can use," said Hancock, who also will oversee the playoff. "It's a balancing act, because you had Connecticut, which only could use 5,000. On the other hand, you had LSU going to the Sugar Bowl and could take 50,000. Our challenge in preparing contracts is to find a middle ground that will work for everybody." The ticket requirements are negotiated by the bowls and leagues long before bowl matchups are finalized. The bowls like bigger guaranteed ticket sales because they shift the risk of unsold tickets to the schools and leagues. In exchange for taking on that risk, the bowls generally guarantee a bigger payout for participating schools and leagues. The schools and leagues also get a block of premium tickets at locked-in prices that might fetch more money on the open market. Under the new playoff system, tickets to some of the games are likely to command top dollar, especially the semifinals. But the other games might depend on upon matchups and travel distance. This season, Baylor and Central Florida both reported having trouble finding buyers for the Fiesta Bowl in Arizona. Last season, Florida State only sold a portion of its 17,500 tickets to the Orange Bowl and was forced to absorb $2.1 million in unsold tickets with help from the Atlantic Coast Conference. FSU reported to the NCAA that the "price of the tickets were too high and the secondary market had tickets at a much lower cost, which made it impossible for us to sell our allotment." By contrast, teams from the Big Ten generally don't struggle to sell their tickets to the Rose Bowl. This year, Michigan State sold its 24,000-ticket allotment to the Rose Bowl and still needed more because of high demand. "Some places have smaller fan bases and are more regionally oriented," Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany told USA TODAY Sports. "They struggle with it … There's got to be some number that people are accountable for." When not staging semifinals, the Rose, Orange and Sugar Bowls will determine their own ticket requirements as part of their contracts with various conferences, Hancock said. For example, the Rose Bowl has contracts with the Big Ten and Pac-12.

I would imagine right after the ticket allotments for the teams in the game are released, online broker prices will go down. 40,000 new tickets released, in hand, and certainly there are some sellers in that group for both teams.

https://texassports.com/documents/2023/2/13/2023_24_Benefits_ChartNEW.pdf Bowl/Playoff ticket allotment is at the bottom of this chart.

How many tickets does each team get? 20,000? I would think that gets gobbled up before the 8000th account gets their chance, no? Each account before 8000 can order up to 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 tickets depending on their current gift. I know not everyone will want tickets, but it seems like it would go quick.

Has to be more than that, no?

Anyone know what are the team hotels for both teams?

Didn’t he say something like, “Texas will enjoy losing games in Athens or Baton Rouge more than Ames and Stillwater?”

It will. Only if you are a pussy.

I didn’t see many details come out during the trial. Had to have been some salacious evidence (emails, texts, pictures, etc…). I did see one article that identified the girl as an escort. Not surprised, but they certainly kept that out of headlines.

She only has to serve 30. She was eligible for parole after half of her sentence or 30 years, whichever came first. So, she might be free again for 10-15 years of her life.

Welp. Just announced. 11am. Fuck you, Fox and Big 12.

If OSU wins today, I’d bet bedlam gets the big show and 11am game. The storyline makes it attractive, last game, etc…
