I don't live in Starkville, but if I were still a student I'd do what I did my last 3 years* and wait until 2:30 pm and walk right up to the window without waiting.
*My senior year I went at like 9:30 am and there wasn't really a line so I waited 30 minutes, so I'm still counting it as walking up.
I'd wait in line if the university told me they were 100% for sure they were going to run out of tickets by 11 am and they wouldn't sell any more following that specific day but that's never the case. People wait in line to wait in line for no reason (the last couple of years everyone I knew who went at like 4 in the morning was scared they were going to run out, which is what they want you to believe) and unless you do what those first people did (get there at 10 pm the night before with a grill and some coolers) it's not fun. I tried to get people to do that before and no one wants to do that. The first year they did "TeNtZ 4 TiCkEtZ!?!" I went the night before and grilled out and had a blast until 3 or 4 in the morning but still went home and came back the next day at 2:30 pm. That was the year they did it on guy's bid day before the university ruined bid day too, so don't give me **** about not being a good fan.
I was in line for the UK-MSU game for 13 hours when we had Jarvis and DB3 and they had John Wall and Cousins. I didn't mind it for one second because I knew I'd get something that not many people behind me would get, a chance to watch one of the greatest games of all time (even though we lost this and the 2009 Florida game, another game we lost, are the highlights of my student career. 2010 Arkansas is close, we also lost). I just don't get the concept of waiting in line to get football tickets when there are enough for everyone. Even if there weren't enough they still keep 3,000 tickets to sell at various times throughout the week!
We need to do what every other SEC school does and divey them out by seniority via online. Of course I'd feel entirely different about this if MSU had a wet campus and people didn't skip the line all day.
If you're trying to be a douche and say you got to meet Dan Mullen and I didn't, congrats.
Not being sarcastic here, but it is pretty cool that years from now you can tell people that MSU's coach once bought you breakfast. Still for me that wouldn't be worth it.
