Georgia has sold out its Sugar Bowl ticket allotment, but it appears that Texas’ fan base may be outhustling ours on the secondary ticket market. I hope that’s not a sign we’re suffering from an SECCG hangover.

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
They will quiet down by halftime. Pre game will be a blast..

Given that the fanbase has been spending a lot of money on big games recently including LSU, I wonder if some folks are giving the wallets a rest.

I love the smell of NOLA in the morning. You know, one time we played a game there … The smell, you know that stale beer smell, the whole town. Smelled like… victory.

Bourbon Street is like that out of control house party with the sticky floor from spilled drinks and puke.

I took a beating on tickets when I “upgraded” and then found the secondary market sucked. It’s my own fault since I KNOW that bowl tickets are always easy and cheap if you wait.

Most tickets can be had cheap with patience and a willingness to walk away if need be. Went to an allegedly sold out McKamise Pavilion/ aka Alexander Memorial for the B-ball game yesterday and got two tixs for $20.00 by just showing up and waiting. Patience grasshopper. By the way……That is like 11 or 12 straight wins in a row in the major sports over the Trade school since the 2016 football loss . I love Georgia Tech ,How bout you?

Not much GT can do about hoops now.
They can’t afford to add a 4th head basketball coach to their payroll.

Yep, I shoulda known better. However, if I had not bought the tickets ahead of time I would have never offered them to the friends who then offered us their house!

More reflective of Texas fan’s not having success as of late than Georgia fan being down on the opportunity.
How can anyone blame Texas for not being more excited (at least until the half).

And I wonder if we really took more to the LSU game or it just seemed that way>

Plus, it’s a relatively short drive from east Texas. Just less to plan for.

I once woke up on Easter Sunday in an apartment overlooking bourbon street to a very loud sound. Went out on the balcony and there were literally trucks spreading a soapy mess and scrubbing the streets like a dirty dish. Like a street sweeper with a soap spray.
Low point in my life.

No official word. Kirby has been more involved in the prep. It will be interesting to see who has the defensive call sheet during the game.

Well tickets are $30 on the Georgia side. Something tells me a ticket allotment sellout really doesn’t mean shit.
