Does this comment by the USM AD seem brash?

CL says

"I'm telling our fans that if you're not a season-ticket holder and you're not a Eagle Club contributor, no way you're getting a ticket to this game," he said.

They ought to send us a thank-you note.

USM is trying to use lowly old SEC welfare MSU to break their season ticket sales records. I'm not sure why though. From what I hear, it really isn't that big of a deal to USM anyways. Why would more fans want to go see that game more than the others?

idea, they will really over play their hand and have alot of empty seats. Im sure that when it is all said and done though, that Joe Blow Mustard Bird fan will able to walk up to the ticket office the day of the game and get a ticket.

they can say it won't be their superbowl but i'm not buying

 

[The Big Slick]

What I am saying is I just can't see them selling that many season tickets that only seats will be available to season ticket holders and what is alloted to State.

They will treat it like the Super Bowl.

it will happen. 25 years of us not wanting to play them and looking down our SEC noses at them and telling them they are redheaded stepchildren (all ten of them), etc. etc. etc. add on top of that a multiple year wait to actually get to play us after the announcement and you have a recipe for people buying season tickets if they are told to. i have had southern fans who have moved away and haven't been to a game in years send me emails over the last 48 hours saying they can't wait until 2014 and 2015

now, the second home game on their schedule after they lose to us will be back to normal for them in attendance...if not smaller.

edit to add: plus the 2015 game will be played after they hopefully lose to us in Starkville and we have thousands of state fans talking **** to them aGAIN for an entire year. if they win in 2014 though, ****...they might be able to sell the seat for 100 bucks a piece just so they can see us lose two in a row to them and at The Rock

Seriously, talking **** to who? Their fan base literally doesn't exist and can crawl into the wood work like nobody's business. I swear at the Oxford regionals they've played in, their attendance has been no better than any of the other non bottom feeding 4 seeds or teams from across the country (like Washington). They didn't think they'd win thus didn't show up worth ****. Let them lose and you'll not see an Eagle fan in your vicinity until the game the next year.

they had great attendance at the CWS this year. i saw it for myself and read and heard numerous things about how impressed the other teams and Nebraskans were with their attendance. not many OM fans at the CWS...wait.....

/****. had to do it.

On January 6, 2007, the Dallas Cowboys traveled to Qwest Field to play the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC wild card playoff round. With the Cowboys down 21-20 and 1:19 left on the clock, Dallas attempted a 19-yard field goal. Tony Romo botched the hold for the kicker by dropping the snap as he attempted to set it down. Romo then tried to run into the end zone for an impromptu touchdown, but was tackled at the one-yard line by Seattle defensive back Jordan Babineaux.</p>

The University of Mississippi baseball team has gone 0-6 in NCAA Super Regional games at home after winning the first game in three different best-of-three series. [1] In reference to the University of Mississippi (aka "Ole Miss") baseball team's 37-year absence from the College World Series, OMAHA has also been coined an acronym for "Ole Miss At Home Again".

Jean Van de Velde only needed a double-bogey 6 to win the 1999 British Open. Instead he scored a triple-bogey 7 on the 18th hole and entered a play-off which he lost. [5]</p>

The New York Yankees held a three games to none lead over the Boston Red Sox in the 2004 American League Championship Series. The Red Sox ended up winning the series by beating the Yankees in 4 straight games. The Red Sox then went on to win the 2004 World Series.</p>

after this game in hattiesburg, there will be an unmeasurable amount of bitching on this board by State fans about their experience in hattiesburg. These 17ers have been waiting for years to be acknowledged by State and Mississippi and these bastards are beyond frustrated. Remember, these are the people that sent a cop on the baseball field to arrest Polk. If you are wearing maroon, they will make your visit as inconvenient as possible. Your wife/gf may have to submit to a strip search to make sure you aren't smuggling a cowbell. It won't be fun.
