This weekend's UT-LSU game is the hottest ticket in Austin

How much would you pay to be in Darrell K Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium this Saturday for the Texas Longhorns and LSU Tigers game?

According to ticket broker SeatGeek, the average price of a ticket is $569, the highest they've ever recorded for a Longhorns game--or any ticketed even in Austin, period!

The game is the most in demand game since 2010, and is the second-most in demand game this college football season, second only to Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Georgia Bulldogs Football later this month.

Tickets for that game are averaging $855.

It does sound like a good game.

In Bear Bryant’s book, he mentions that he went and spent 2 weeks with Daryl Royal’s family. He was there to learn the wishbone. I think Brant always referred to it as the triple option.

Better hurry before Jemele Hill convinces all black athletes to eschew “white” universities for historically black colleges...

BET can't possibly ruin college football any more than ESPN already has.

Tickets for tomorrow’s CU-Nebraska game (for reserved non student seats) are ranging from 208.05 for nosebleed seats to $737.66 for Lower Prime Sideline. Hopefully we can red out Folsom like we did Touchdown Jesus Stadium back in 2000.

Go Big Red!

At least it’s not only available on The Longhorn Network. I detest the money-grubbing in which my alma mater engages.

There is a Longhorn Network curse. UT sports teams have gone downhill since ESPN made them the richest sports program on the planet. By logic, they should be Top 5 in every sport with the money they bring in.

I will be pulling for LSU even though I am a UK fan and support 99% of SEC teams, however, I just can’t bring myself to pull for Tennessee under any circumstances. I am still savoring the Georgia State beating they took and Volunteered $950,000 for that ass whipping in Knoxville, gotta love it!!!

The “UT” referred to here is the Texas Longhorns.
