LOL I did say tickets.

Did you watch the game? Texas scored almost all of it's points in the 2nd half. Gibbert was completely ineffective in the first half. They brought it within four with 6 minutes left.

Fine, but the point is that the price you pay for those tickets is only half the story. I hate the way college football pretends that their seats are so cheap by just pretending the mandatory donations don't exist.

For 3 years after I graduated UT i used to enroll in a full spectrum of classes, buy season tickets (always 20 rows up on 30-40 yd line), drop all my classes in time to get a full refund and then keep my tickets. I should start doing that again.

UT and ESPN announce the University of Texas sports network today with a $300 million dollar contract for 20 years. UT gets 12.5 million a year + a piece of the profits.
