They made a huge stink about the speculation of them not traveling well to bowl games being off base.
Well, let's see.
We've sold over 10,000 tickets already(I'm sure with the addition of ticketmaster etc we're up in the 15,000-20,000 range) to a bowl lower in the selection process.
In the same amount of time it's taken us to sell that many, Mizzou has failed to sell even 2,000 tickets.
It gets better. Their failure to sell 2,000 tickets INCLUDES the school giving FREE TICKETS to any students that will come and pick them up.
I'm not done yet. Of those >2,000 tickets sold, of which include the free tickets that the students received, the students that are picking these free tickets up AREN'T EVEN GOING TO THE GAME.
Want to see what the students are doing picking up tickets if they're not going to the game? Well, for an explanation I'll refer you to this beauty on tigerboard.
http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/missouri-tigers.php?message=4173734Seems that the students really don't give a crap, and apparently free tickets aren't enough to get them to go. They want the University to pay for their ride and their lodging, too.
Priceless. We'll have to remember this next time Mizzou fans try to tell us that the idea they don't travel well is unfounded.
