UC/O$U Tickets
New season ticket holders able to buy from UC ticket office for the first time today, but with guaranteed limit based on level. The fact that I held season tickets for 10 years in the past meant nothing.
Tons of tickets available on Vivid Seats.

RE: UC/O$U Tickets
I think OSU is having some issues with ticket sales this year. They have a really poor home slate, and I have seen two different ticket mini-plan packages advertised on TV. I have never seen OSU do Mini-plans before. UC is included in their "blitz" package, and I am going to guess there will be a lot available leading up to the game.

I was offered tickets for the Columbus game with my season ticket renewal. Did you miss that? I can't believe I'm special and the only one to receive the offer.

He wasn't renewing. Sounds like new season ticket holders didn't get the same guarantee as renewals but may still get them if enough are available.

UC/O$U Tickets
Have a buddy who is an OSU season ticket holder. He said last year was the first year they truly found the price point that people stayed home and that this year they are trying the mini plans to keep the prices up. They had a number of games that didn't sell out last year.

Big Ten expansion has been a dud. Rutgers and Maryland in east division. Heck UC fans wouldn’t want them in AAC east, Maybe an even trade for ECU and Temple.

I think it has more to do with price than opponent. $60 for the cheapest ticket all season. $200 for prime games (Michigan, MSU, Penn State).

Maryland is a different story.

It was a lot more than notches. Let’s see how I feel after attending 6-8 games. College sports aren’t as much fun as they used to be.

There's just so much more angst involved now.
I used to LOVE going to UC football games back in the crumbling Nippert days. If we won, great! If not, no big deal.
I remember going to that game against UK at riverfront, looking at the big blue 'necks who looked at you like they wanted to kill you if you cheered for your team and thinking "man I hope I never end up that way".
It's like they took it so... personal.

RE: UC/O$U Tickets
College sporting events are meant to be treasured and enjoyed when yo win and forgotten when you lose.
Since it doesn't matter in life if your team loses, you have no penalty when that happens. However, you gain the benefit of all the joy when your team does well.

Agreed. I enjoyed UC football long before Nippert was anywhere near full and certainly not shiny and new. Competitively though, it was more the plight of a Cubs fan before that franchise's newfound success.
A full Nippert with the new amenities, more restrooms and a winning team beats the old experience in almost every measurable way. The one exception: I get tired of the compulsion to fill every available second during a stoppage of play with (very loud) commercial messages and pre-recorded music.

Some of my best UC football memories are cheering my ass off in near empty Nippert as a child/teenager. There weren't many of us left during this comeback but what an awesome feeling it was. http://a.espncdn.com/ncf/2000/20001118/r...soccj.html
Of course, the full house and winning we've seen starting in the mid2000s (throwing out late Tuberville) has been awesome.

I wrote Jeff Bower a letter after that game saying he coaching was spot on in that game and it was a tought loss. He wrote me back a handwritten letter. Class guy.

I remember that game well. I attended with my late father. He was cold and we left in the 3rd quarter. We listened to the rest of the game on the radio driving around and heard the comeback. He felt bad for leaving but I told him I just enjoyed being there with him celebrating the win. Good memory! Great win at a time when we desperately needed it.
