Youngstown State students arrived early Monday morning at the Athletic Department Ticket Office for their chance to purchase a coveted ticket to the Penguins' football contest at Ohio State on Sept. 1. Almost 300 students were in line at 9 a.m. when the office opened for business. All student tickets that were available have been sold.
The Good:
All student tickets that were available have been sold.
The Bad:
We can get that kind of interest for $60 tickets, yet we will get ~1,000 students to show up at our home games for $FREE tickets.
The Ugly:
Closet OSU fans, claiming that they love the Penguins.
This is a little different for us when compared to other BCS games, because quite a few YSU "fans" won't show up to games when a certain team from the State of Ohio is also playing.
Anyhow:
To those folks who will play a BCS team(s), have YOU sold your allotment of tickets?
