And it made me wonder. After OU/Texas goes home and home, except for true away games, what real good will the points do you?

I guess so. Also, unless I just missed it, they never mentioned the OU/Texas game anywhere in there.
I got a letter too...said I had 7 days to pay my gas bill
away and bowl games...And it made me wonder. After OU/Texas goes home and home, except for true away games, what real good will the points do you?
The only reason to have those points are to hope and pray you might get a sniff at the cotton bowl.
I've said it before, they move the game outta Big D, donations will take a tumble. Mark it down.
i can't imagine they wouldn't... on both sides of the Red River
i think Texass gives their students more tickets than we do, their donor tickets have to be in even shorter supply
that is a good issue to discuss. With higher ed funding about to take a cut aaaagain (percentage-wise), can OU afford to move the game?
Agree, donations will tumble for both schools, BUT, they will most likely raise the price of the ou-tejas ticket to above $120 on the season ticket plans.
That doesn't seem like it would make up for the lost donations though.
No way will it make up for the lost donations.
I know one person (corporation) who donates upwards of $10,000 to ensure he will have his block of tickets for the RRR. No ticket increase can cover stuff like that. Joe C. no doubts understands this.
I agree, I know that UT didn't have their allotment of season tickets sold out this past season as a coworker picked some up right before the season started while I am on the waiting list at OU somewhere since I waited a year too late to buy them. So points mean even less here when it comes to home season tickets. I think donations will go down at both but even more at UT.
I hope Dodds/Mack chokes on that
Bingo. My parents had what they called the "Texas Package" or something to that effect through the Sooner Club. They donated an extra $100 a seat and were told it would ensure Texas tickets. Well when they accepted donations for the new seats, and our $400 Sooner Club donation was no longer enough, we got screwed out of our Texas tickets.
For the money they donated they could have bought seats on the open market.
Not 4 of them and not in the endzone where we like to sit.
end zone seats are the easiest ones to acquire.
it's tough to get 4 together... but i think the easiest tickets to get are the crappy upper deck ones
There will be mroe than twice as many tickets available. I doubt it...home and home for OSU/Mich is less than $80 when I asked them a few months ago.

OU/OSU is higher then that and the OSU we play is crappy.
the ticket office said the pricing was because that was the only tickets OSU would give us
those ****ers
Good point. The OU/texas game and the OU/oSu game are what make having the points mean something. We pay $1000.00 a seat in donation fees for our club seats but we are guaranteed OU/Texas tickets. If the game goes to home and home, how much you want to bet that OU will still charge me the $1000.00 a seat, or more, in donation fees but they'll take away my OU/Texas tickets. They'll say that they promised us "Cotton Bowl" tickets, not OU/Texas tickets. I can see the writing on the wall.And it made me wonder. After OU/Texas goes home and home, except for true away games, what real good will the points do you?
