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

Image
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 su...

Bama Baseball Heads to Tallahasee: They Scrong!

Image
Bama Baseball is headed to Tallahassee for the NCAA Regionals as a 2 seed in the 4-team, double-elimination event.  Bama Bats will face off against Kennesaw State on Friday while The Famous Jameis FSU Seminoles take on Georgia Southern.  Bama's dominant start in SEC play helped them climb all the way up in the rankings to #8, but a brutal back half of the schedule left them beat up, beat down, & beat out.  After a one & done performance at the SEC Championship Series last week, the Tide goes into the series with a .278 batting average which is among the upper half of the SEC.  And with 10 SEC teams making it in, that speaks volumes. *auburn & tennessee did not. LOLOLOLOLOLOL* Now the big question is who's on the mound Friday?  Care to take a guess..... I think Bama will surprise people this weekend.  I'm scrong! Like, they scrong! Are you scrong? WE SCRONG!!! ROLL TIDE! ROLL BAMA BATS!

I HATE AUBURN!!!

Image
     I really do.  So in honor of being stuck watching them play in the SEC Championship Game today, I thought I'd make myself feel better by listing some of the many reasons why I HATE AUBURN !       I hate Patrick Fain Dye. I hate his drunken diatribes. I hate his interviews. Why should I care what a drunk, cheating, lying tree farmer who loses his own pants has to say? I hate that he can't even say the word family.  What does fambly even mean?  I hate that he's like the Jim Jones to the auburn cult!      I hate Tommy Tuberville.  I hate his ears. I hate wingnuts because they remind me of him.  I hate his smug grin.  I hate that he allowed his '04 team to receive championship rings FOR WINNING NOTHING! I hate his thumbs & that stupid saying, 'Fear The Thumb'. What kind of man holds up fingers to taunt heartbroken college kids?  A classless one named Tommy.  That's who....
