Will we have 10,000

[raymond21]

attend the Outback Bowl? Being reported only 6000 tickets sold from ticket office

[msstate7]

Really wish I could make it. Good job the rest of you

[ShotgunDawg]

Every year in the same bowl tier vs non-exciting opponents.

We've gotten more clunky opponents in these games than most anyone else.

Michigan was good.

But after that:

Wake Forest
UCF
Rice
Louisville
Iowa
Northwestern
NC State
Georgia Tech


I mean, for all our bowl success, we usually get really crappy matchups. Other conferences just don't have the depth of the SEC.

I think 10,000 is a solid showing. Seriously doubt we took that many to orange bowl

[DownwardDawg]

Every year in the same bowl tier vs non-exciting opponents.

I agree. Also, I hope Moorehead and the team are fired up, because the fan base is pretty “meh” about playing Iowa.

[TaleofTwoDogs]

If they sold 6K through the ticket office we probably break the 10K barrier. A lot of fans buy from third party services such as Stub Hub because of the better seats. If I'm going to travel a 1000 miles to see a game, I'll pay $120 to sit on the 30 -40 yard line instead of $60 to sit in the end zone.

There will be a lot more MSU fans than that. 80% of the fans didn’t buy thru the Ticket office. We had an 8000 ticket allotment and we sold almost all of them....so far. So gloom and doom it up as much as you can.

You have some good ideas and good intentions most of the time but you are obviously way to young to understand where our program has come from in a short time. You also casually leave off that we have in recent history played North Carolina, Texas and Clemson in Bowl games.

1982 to 1990 no Bowl Games....1993, 1995, 1996 no Bowl games....we played one in 2000 and then another in 2008 and that’s the only ones in the 2000’s. We don’t get to choose our opponents in Bowl games we just go play them. Auburn played Memphis in the Birmingham Bowl a few years ago and the stadium was packed. They didn’t bitch, moan and complain about some perceived prestige of an opponent. They just went and beat their ass. So stick to reality of the here and now because it can be worse.

[MetEdDawg]

If anyone has ever bought bowl tickets through the university you know why people don't buy them. Yes you get the points bump in the BC but the seats are horrible for the price.

We bought through the university for the Gator Bowl in 2010 against Michigan. Upper deck 10 yard line. I've always bought general admission through a ticket service since then. Now I will admit I haven't been to a bowl game in the last 5 years (got a 4 year old and a 1 year old) so maybe it's gotten better since then. But there's definitely gonna be more than that there. Way way more.

20 years ago = recent bowl history?

I wasn't downplaying it and I'm sure why Old bitter 17ers keep bringing up history 40 years ago. It's irrelevant

[Leroy Jenkins]

I would say the MSU ticket office is not a good metric to use regarding how many people are going to be there at the game. For example, I can't see a scenario where I would buy another bowl ticket from them, much better seats on the open market. I have referenced my Liberty Bowl vs UCF experience before; more expensive, crappier seats.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wish all of out fans would show up early and sit between the 30s in the lower bowl and refuse to move.

[Bass Chaser]

Yes there's 5 in our group going and we all bought through StuB Hub because our seats were terrible for the Orange Bowl.

I bought three from the Out Back Bowl webb site. Ticket Masters handle it. I got them in the mail the other day. I am sure many did like me.

Around $80-90 per ticket to sit in the endzone.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Whatever was bought thru MSU.... double it.

Sheer ignorance.

[Turfdawg67]

Bought my four off Stub Hub... 30-40 yd line & club level for half of what it was through the MSU ticket office.

Hahaha!!! “Old Bitter 17ers.” Well, that sounds personal. Some time ago when I was a dumb as hell, full of shit, shit for brains, young un, I would have dragged your stupid ass outside somewhere and beat the brakes of you dip-shit. And that’s a fact....any doubts...yo ass better call somebody. Now with that said, I didn’t go back 40 years. I went back to 1991 to start talking about Bowl History. I mention the 1980’s because there was NO history. Dipshit.

By the way, dipshit, I bought 22 Tickets for this game. Taking the whole Italian Family. How many tickets did you buy? Or is basement life to tough on you?

You seem nice.

I give you props for taking 22 people though.

Leave 'Gun alone. It's tough trying to catch MS7's post count when he is so far behind!*** Hail State and Merry Christmas to all Dawgs!

Well, that escalated quickly....

Tusk....you live close enough to me that I’m sure you have heard the stories....lol Can you tell even at Christmas I’ve lost my patience with the Generation X or Millennial generation?

[Howboutdemdogs]

Damn good entertainment here.

Look; first off, don’t take Iowa as a slouch. It will a good game, even with their tight end not playing. Remember, we did lose to NW and GT.

Second, I just had the wife send me a pic of our tickets that I bought through MSU. 35 yard line row 19, about where ours are at at DW. Very good seats.

Third, we have been hosed in the past ( Liberty, Gator twice, and Orange). But, all other games we had great seats from State, even last years frozen Gator bowl.

Fourth, I will always buy from State and support the University. Yeah, I have been bitched at from the family about expense and the 3 crappy bowl seats. But, I will support none the less, as I do at all the major sports at State as I have done since graduating over 30 years ago. I feel that is what a fan does.

Fifth, I remember the years all too well of not going to a bowl. So, I see DOW point of view.

Finally, as of now, us Dogs fans have got to enjoy our success while we can. One never knows, we could have string of no bowl seasons like those ass hats at Ole Piss.

PS: 17 Ole Piss and Go Dogs!

I was at Orange Bowl with my daughter and there were way more than 10,000 Dawgs there. Now, there probably was not 5,000 Ga Tech fans.

Headed down to Tampa also. I will be shocked if we do not have 12+k there to see the best defense in history of MSU one last time.
Hail State!

I mean, for all our bowl success, we usually get really crappy matchups. Other conferences just don't have the depth of the SEC.

Most of those teams feel the same way having to play us. I love the Dawgs and hope we get there soon. But right now we are still considered to be the cellar dwellers of the SEC. I don't feel that way and most of you don't, but we are perceived that way by most of the country.

[biggun]

10k to 12k Dog fans; maybe 2k to 3k Iowa fans.
Total attandence - 30k.
Not a very “sexy” matchup.

I’m surprised there are any tickets left. Certain Iowa fans have assured us on this board that they regularly take 30k+ to every bowl game...

Our crew of (6) did the same thing. Didn?t bother getting shafted by our ticket allotment given to the BDC again.

Remember half of the state of Iowa is already in Florida, Ala and the coast and will be for the next couple of months. That is where Snowbirds come from. Already passed a few cars with Iowa tags going down HWY 90 in the FAST lane doing 20.

[Bothrops]

This is a great bowl destination and could be the only time we go this particular bowl. However, Mississippians aren't known for traveling, and this is essentially the same bowl destination we were at just two years ago.

That said, I still think we show up for some reason.

[Pit Bull]

Well, at least we won't have to worry from here on out if the Outback is going to take us any more. We'll just have to be selected by a colder weather bowl and get used to it. So, enjoy this one boys! Will be our first and only trip to Tampa.

[Apoplectic]

i will never buy thru ticket office - we?ll have 20k

[sleepy dawg]

We're professional bowl goers at this point. We know better than to get screwed through the ticket office. It's not MSU's fault since everybody gets screwed, but most of us have just been screwed too many times. If you want good seats, you just simply can't get them through the ticket office.

[BogeyGolfer]

attend the Outback Bowl? Being reported only 6000 tickets sold from ticket office

Go look at Ticket Master and it gives you an idea of how many seats remain. Looks like Iowa has sold a few more tickets than we have but both sides are filling in nicely. Also, ticket prices are still high which means there is a demand. Some of you just type shit to get a rise out of people without doing any research. It gets old and makes reading threads a pain in the ass. I stand by my prediction that we will have 15k-18k in attendance and total will be around 60k.

i may not buy my club seats until that morning - instead of paying 150 ea i'm guessing they'll be about 75 ea

Timing in this one is way better then two years ago. That effected the crowd but still was a good number of State fans. We usually travel well unless it's to Provo Utah. I was there and got the free ice cream.

Now if the Las Vegas Bowl becomes a SEC VS Pack 12 match up and State gets invited that would be crowd.

[Jack Lambert]

Over Priced for crappy seats. They tried to get us to buy by giving one Bull Dog Club point for each tickets bought. They would have to do better then that.

I agree... I remember they did 2 points a few years back... I'll need about 10 points per ticket to budge.

Same here. 6 in my group but after the first two Gator bowls, I'm done buying from the university's allotment. If you are gonna drop some serious monies to go to Tampa, StubHub is the only way to go. I'm gonna guess 20k+ Bulldogs and I feel like I'm being conservative
