You know you're close to college football when you get this release from either Alabama or Auburn or an SEC school.

Just released due to visiting team returns, a limited number of tickets are now available for Alabama's homecoming game against Oklahoma.

That's surprising.

Yeah. So a few tickets if you want an Oklahoma ticket. That's surprising. Yeah. So a few

tickets if you want an Oklahoma ticket. Yeah, I just remember was it the, was it

0102, 0203, the home and home? Oh, 2.03, I think. Yeah. So that was the only time I've ever

been to Norman, but the return game, I just remember there were a ton of Oklahoma

fans and I would think even more excitement

this year with Mateer and being in the SEC. I would just think that they would bring 15, 20,000.

You don't travel as much because the tickets are worse on these away games. You don't get as many

in the lower bowl as used to. They've been slithered, and then the upper deck is not a section anymore. They spread

you out at every stadium you go to, not as bad as in Austin, but everywhere else, they put

you in the upper rims. They're horrible. And then the TV product. Yeah, I mean, it's just,

I would think, though, the first lap through the SEC, some of these Oklahoma fans would like to go see Bryant-Denny, Jordan Hare, Neeland Stadium, they've never been. But when you do that, Brown, what do you do? You don't buy the worst seat in the house. That's true. You're going on the road. You're spending going to road. I'll just buy a secondary market, sit in the lower bowl and have a better seat than what my team is given in the upper deck. That's why I don't know why it's a big deal that the ticket allotment's not any good anymore. I would think the majority of these people that are going to travel and spend that kind of money would spend an additional 150 per ticket to have a really good ticket. And if I do it that way, if my team sucks, then I don't have to go.

But this is the one that is mandated contractually in the SEC that we provide a certain number

of tickets in the stadium, certain in the lower bowl, certain in the upper deck, given to each school.

They set that aside. Oklahoma sells it through Oklahoma. These are the ones that are returned.

But you'll get this.

If you're an Auburn fan, these are the upper rim and upper deck section that you see that are empty for some of those games.

When we get empty seats in the SEC, they usually are the bad visiting seats, visiting tickets that just weren't filled.
