The SEC's Hottest Ticket- Ranking SEC Ticket Prices Down The Stretch

With LSU's mid-season improvement, I've been pondering whether I should make the trip to Baton Rouge this year.  A key factor in this decision is what the tickets are going for.  Clearly, their win over Ole Miss has made this a much more attractive ticket now with ticket prices ranging from $175 to over $2,500 (seriously, who the heck pays $2,500 for a football ticket???).  This revelation coupled with the inaugural rankings released last night got me curious about which match-ups have the most expensive tickets down the stretch.  After a quick trip to Stub Hub this morning, I was able to rank the conference's most expensive tickets for the remainder of the 2014 season.

I.  The Iron Bowl
It should come as no surprise that the hottest ticket is the Alabama Auburn rivalry game.  One can witness the Iron Bowl in Bryant Denny Stadium this November for roughly $312 per ticket.

II.  The Egg Bowl
Though I am not well versed in the prices of the annual Ole Miss Mississippi State rivalry game, I'd be willing to bet a handsome amount that this ticket is not ranked nearly as high as they are this year.  The price of entry into Vaught-Hemingway stadium for The Egg Bowl-2014 Edition is $260.

III.  The South's Oldest Rivalry
Auburn travels between the hedges to take on the Georgia Bulldogs this year.  I'm counting on Gurley & company to be hungry for revenge after last year's 'prayer in jordan hare'.  Tickets for this game are going for $236.

IV.  Mississippi State at Alabama
The Mississippi schools seem to learn quickly that with success come some really expensive ticket prices.  While I have trouble finding someone to even go with me for this match-up most years, this season's ticket is now averaging $215.

V.  Alabama at LSU
Unfortunately for me, this is the lone ticket not currently in my possession this season.  Pretty sure mom's idea about taking me to Death Valley will get nixed when she finds out the average ticket is going for $175. 

VI.  The Rest
6.   auburn at Ole Miss- $124
7.   LSU at Texas A&M- $93
8.   Mizzou at Texas A&M- $87
9.   Tennessee at Vandy- $75 (LOL! New rivalry I guess)
10.  Texas A&M at auburn-  $72
11.  Tennessee at USCe-  $61
12.  Arkansas at Mississippi State-  $55
13.  LSU at Arkansas- $54
14.  Mizzou at Tennessee- $53
15.  Vandy at Mississippi State-  $52
16.   Georgia at Kentucky-  $50
17.  USCe at Florida-  $50
18.  Arkansas at Mizzou-  $47
19.  Kentucky at Tennessee-  $47
20.  The World's Largest Cocktail Party-  $46 (LOL again)
21.  Florida at Vandy-  $44
22.  Kentucky at Mizzou-  $35

Of course, prices will change as teams go down.  But one thing is very clear.  With 3 of the top 5 most expensive tickets on the list, it definitely ain't cheap being a Crimson Tide fan, y'all!!!

 Roll Tide!  Roll anyone who can hook me up with some LSU tickets!

The Recruitment of Elisha Shaw

A nother signing day has come & gone.  And in what has become the norm, Alabama has the #1 recruiting class, signing phenoms like Bo Scarbrough & Rashaan Evans.  Rival fanbases have already begun the annual discussions of which players on Saban's roster will be "processed" to make room for all the incoming 5 stars.  Ya know... Because the leader of the evil empire doesn't care about players.  He only cares about winning. While ESPN is ooing & awing over what might possibly be the best signing class ever, the best story of National Signing Day has gone virtually unmentioned.  The story of Elisha Shaw.  Outside of my fellow recruiting junkies, I doubt anyone's even heard his name.  At one time, Shaw was one of the top defensive tackle prospects in the nation.  With 17 scholarship offers on the table, programs like Georgia, auburn, & Florida State were all fighting for him.  But Shaw's situation changed drastically when he suffered a severe ne

Iron Bowl Problems

F or the last month, I've been struggling with a really difficult life decision.  I'm not talking about where to plan my next vacation or what color to paint my kitchen, y'all.  This is MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than that....  See, I am the proud owner of a couple of Iron Bowl tickets & I've been really torn about what I should do with them.  Before you roll your eyes and label this a first world problem, hear me out & you'll understand why it's been so hard deciding should I stay or should I go. Reason #1 I really hate Auburn, y'all.  This is not your typical run of the mill kinda hate either.  I despise everything about them.  I hate their fans.  They're truly the most annoying fanbase in all of college football.  I hate the way they not only think God is a football fan but he is, in fact, an auburn fan.  I hate the way they make signs saying things like, "God Thing" while guzzling bourbon and cursing at opposing fanbases.  I hate that t

H ave you ever been around that snotty nosed kid that won't accept not getting their way?  You know the one I'm talking about.  The little brat that puts his fingers in his ears while screaming, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!".  Imagine about 200 of those little assholes in head to toe orange and blue.  But instead of the 'I can't hear you' mantra, they manage to come up with something even more annoying.  The auburn fight song. Yep.  This happened Saturday night, y'all.  I have clocked 5 years experience sitting next to the visiting band.  It isn't always easy but I really do love my section.  Plus, sometimes you get to score awesome pictures like this: Ironically, with 00:01 left on the clock, about 100,000 of my closest friends and I celebrated a much deserved win over our in-state rival.  Kids, I'm telling ya....  After suffering thru 2010 & 2013, the look of relief on my face would be virtually impossible to dupli
