Did USC Commit Own Goal On Ohio State Game?

It looks like it will take some heavy lifting for the athletic dept. to call the Ohio State game a psedo-sellout.

Plenty of seats left! The athletic dept. is probably blaming the Ohio State fans for not buying more tickets.

But until recently, USC was not allowing fans to buy tickets for this game, unless it was part of a package deal that no Ohio State would want to touch.

Does an Ohio State fan want to be forced to buy a ticket to the Louisiana or Fresno State game? Does a USC fan?

  • It got lost in the Penn State shuffle, but do I want to address the USC-North Carolina basketball exhibition? It looked a lot like last season, to be honest.

  1. Well at least USC is thoroughly incompetent … what did the Duke of Wellington supposedly say? “In for a penny, in for a pound.” Of course, he never lost a battle (can only imagine how we would refer to the USC administration down to the head coach, given his famous “scum of the Earth” statement about his own Army that gave him that undefeated record).

      4. CB: Yeah I love history – have been rereading Robert Leckie’s (British perspective of all things) civil war extension of his early US history series … had all but forgotten about good old “Case of the Slows” McClellan and his extreme allergic reaction to anything beyond the parade ground … sure seems like a pretty fair historical analogy … btw read your theory on your QB situation – you know, it wouldn’t be the first time that type of scenario unfolded (didn’t Urban play three different QBs by the time the Buckeyes won a national championship … Oklahoma with Jamelle Holieway in for Aikman … Brooks Bollenger getting Nebraska to the Orange Bowl for Tommy Frazier … Billy Joe Hobert in for Mark Brunell … probably others I’m forgetting) …

  2. USC Athletics marketing needs to lean in on L.A.’s Mexican food prowess to reel in those Buckeye fans.
    Columbus Ohio has relatively mediocre Mexican fare. Offer them a free taco at Holbox and a free michelada at La Chuperia and include lots of food pix in the ads…tack the food cost onto the cost to their tickets and it’s a wrap…or a burrito, if you prefer.
