[Arthur Polhill]

I agree with you Helen on the game's excitement.  However, if the bowl game is 
in a great venue, and New Orleans is certainly that, it can be a fun vacation 
trip with Gator football thrown in.

It's really hard to find a bad place to eat in the Big Easy.  The historical 
and museum scene is also cool.  I hear there are things to be seen on Bourbon 
Street.

Great job, Steve!
I agree with your points, Ken. Even before UF told me I wasn't worthy to buy 
post-season tix through UAA, I started buying them elsewhere because I always 
found you could get better seats for the same price. Now I think bowl 
attendance is in the past for me. I have been to the Sugar Bowl twice and had a 
good time, but in general, I don't find bowl games to be anywhere near as much 
fun as regular season SEC games and the travel expenses make them a lot more 
expensive.

RE: [gatortalk] 15 seconds (give or take) of fame(?)...

[Ken Kirkley]

Steve,

 

I think you nailed the reason why the tickets weren't selling through the
UAA.  Lot's of reason for it too:

-  Had to have really high priority to get BCS tickets through UAA.  Many
people who did not have that priority had already made other arrangements
through StubHub or others.

- Many Gators had made plans to travel out West - spend a few days in Vegas
or Arizona before heading to the game.  Those other vacation plans are often
hard or expensive to change.

- Can't ignore the economy, the face value tickets are expensive and travel
is a hassle as well.

- And finally, the tickets the UAA had to sell were some of the worse in the
stadium, the schools allotments are usually in the corners of the endzones,
so better tickets can be had buying directly from the Sugar Bowl.

 

I watched on TV from chilly (-18) Minnesota, and it appeared the crowd was
evenly split, Gators were certainly louder!

 

And BTW, great job on the interview, but where was the Gatortalk mention?
