A whole ham sandwich. Don't go out on a limb too far, Big Spender. The Ducks and the Beavers are from the same racist state. The Ducks are from Choke-ville (aka Eugene, Oregon), while Oregon State is from Loser-ville (aka Corvallis, Oregon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So everyone is supposed to think that the 20,000 tickets that are sold through the Ohio State University are the only tickets that are available to Ohio State fans? Perhaps Ohio State fans have bought tickets through ticket brokers, and/or purchased some of Utah's allotted 20,000 tickets. Ohio State fans travel well. Perhaps better than any other university in the country. I would be stunned if they don't show up strong. That being said, the Buckeyes football team will be there (barring a COVID outbreak)- and that's all that matters for them to get the win. Which they will.

I bent over big time. $410 each ticket and $47 in fees. I feel hollow. Utah will represent big time. Seeing charter planes and busses are being advertised. 31 yard line and 50 rows back. That puts me about 100 yards away from the action. It’s the worst stadium (for watching games) in the country. Hoping Rose Bowl eventually moves to new stadium. I hope you have a great time! Enjoy!

This is what happened when we went to the Fiesta Bowl. This will be Rice Eccles South. It will be extremely loud and one sided for Utah as it appears Ohio State isn’t as excited to be playing in this game. NC or bust is their mantra. How would it be? Utah is playing everyone and it sounds like some of OSU’s starters won’t be playing to not risk injury. OSU may get their ass whooped. Utah’s big goal in becoming part of this conference was to win the Rose Bowl. There have been "no" OSU players to opt out of the Rose Bowl, as of 12-24-2021.

Literally everything else is an inconsequential scrimmage. So, you admit that all of the other PAC12 bowl games are garbage. As for the Rose Bowl, it's the only game that matters to you (and other PAC12 fans). You're right - it is 2021. And you fail to understand is that the Rose Bowl, in 2021 - known throughout history as the "Grandaddy of Them All" - is no longer revered by anyone, outside the PAC12 footprint. > It no longer has national appeal > It matters to the PAC12. but not so much to the B1G teams who miss making the playoffs. > And to most across the country, it's just another meaningless bowl game that doesn't matter.

It’s like you’re in a competition with yourself to say the dumbest thing possible, but because you make things up on a whim so regularly you can’t remember which dumb thing you’re contradicting yourself on.

Ohio St fans couldn’t purchase tickets from Utah’s allotment. Many Ute fans got frustrated so they purchased their tickets from Ohio St because it was easier and quicker.

USC, Oregon and UW have the ability to land top 10 recruiting classes, Utah does not. That needs to happen be the next step in a programs progression. Utah doesn't have the $$$, history or culture to compete nationally with schools who can recruit top 10 classes. Maybe saying this is a once in a lifetime is extreme, maybe its more like once every 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
