Out of the 10 or more people that have approached me for my extra tickets (should I get them), ALL OF THEM have been FSU fans. Not one Bulls fan yet. Yes - when I get them I will let other Bulls fans know, but I guess our "fans" are waiting to see what happens leading up to this game before deciding to go - just like the huge WVU game years ago.

That's awesome. Did you do this yourself?

So for the first time, I purchased an extra parking pass. I plan to give it to guests that join us for games, but I also understand that if we have an extra pass, all we need to do is show it to the attendent and they will allow us to leave an empty space between our car as though one parked there. Has anyone on here been doing that? If so - any issues? Thanks.

Important question: Is there a Hooters discount card enclosed? Yep!!!! Eureka! I got mine, too. With the Hooters card and the Great Clips discount key tag, these tickets pay for themselves. I'll have to start breaking 'em in tonight. Just got home from using my Hooters card - saved me $15 already.

I just put in my request for 4 and got a confirmation that said I had seats 36 - 39. I know these are not actual seat numbers but wonder if this means only 35 tickets were requested before me by others eligible. It will be interesting to see what numbers others get toward the end of the offer period.

Yes - I said it was "a stretch."

Ahhh, but you didn't bold the "up to," did you? I can read the first sentence to imply that once they are done selling season tickets by the end of August, they will look at how many remaining seats they have. If they have enough for all the folks that renewed by the deadline to purchase 4, great. If not, maybe they allow only 2 per renewal. So they are indeed allowing you to purchase up to 4. I know, that's a stretch, but really - let's see what happens before we imply the athletic department is deceiving us.

Yup, we'll have lots of season ticket holders that will purchase their extra alotment of 4 tickets in order to make a quick buck from the FSU fans that will be clamoring for tickets. You think people would actually be able to make money selling 300 level tickets? I doubt it. Fat chance season ticket holders with points are going to be able to get any lower bowl tickets. They'll certainly make something, assuming demand is going to be there, as speculated. Or they could just sell their lower level season ticket seats and sit in the nosebleeds for this one game to take a payday. Have any of you actually watched an entire game up there (USF, Bucs, Outback Bowl, or God forbid the ACC championship?) What are the seats like? From where I sit they do seem far away from the action. I have; it's a good view to watch things develop Like an afternoon thunderstorm for example.

It's gonna be a sellout! I'm just guessing but I think he was meaning they should be marketing it more in this area to ensure the sellout is mostly USF fans. I couldn't believe that a couple of USF grads from my work didn't even know we were playing FSU here. They obviously don't follow football much but now really want to make that their first game they go to. I'd rather have them in the stadium in their newly purchased green and gold than more FSU fans.

The day they do that is the day I finally leave Brighthouse and move to Fios.

How sad is it that they spend as much time talking about Holgerson as they did Stewart in an article about Stewart's death? Geez, couldn't they leave out all the details of the messy transition for just one article?

Wow. So if you were the AD you wouldn't take as much time as you were given to do the best job you could to defend your school against any fines or punishment? I believe there's probably a way to both step up and admit you could have done a better job while also pointing out those things you had no contol of. Heck, the example you gave is one that I don't think you can blame on the school. A phony bill created by a TECO employee? Had to be a quality job. I wish they would expell the student from the entire county if they or their parents were caught lying. Maybe then parents would think twice before trying it. May sound severe but this is not a heat of the moment mistake - they have a whole lot of time to realize what they're doing is wrong and correct it.

I haven't seen it but I'm assuming it's what we call recruiting.

The April deadline is for the right to purchase up to 4 additional FSU game tickets.
