All,
Come midnight Saturday, the regular season is 25% complete. Wow. Let's see of what this quarter marker consists: Washington has a Bye, 2 conference games, and 6 FCS games (ugh), and two Power4 opponents (Cal and Bama).
As always I checked ESPN's scoreboard and noted the 'Tickets as low as' value. And, this doesn't take into account fees and other expenses ticket sites tack on.
| Home | Away | As Low As | Notes |

| Maryland | Towson | $6 | Eff-See-Ess!!!! |
| UCLA | New Mexico | $9 | #clunker (Friday) |

Bye: Washington
Cheaper Than a Combo Meal (2 games)
- Maryland... every game they've had this year is $6... 3 clunkers and no fans. At least they make lots of Tv revenue.
- UCLA is the only winless B1G team, it's a Friday night in LA against a nobody
18 to 25 Division (3 games)
- Cal, I was there in 2013. They have no fans.
- Bama fans are angry, they want answers, they will hurt our Fickell.
You in your thirties (5 games)
- Amazingly, 3 FCS opponents here and a school (UMASS) that loses to half of them... what is going on?
- The FCS schools are parasites on our non-conference schedules.
- also, I watched the entirety of the Grambling State game with glee... but that's beside the point
- USC travels to Purdue for their B1G opener and that still sounds weird to read.
- PSU gets #1 votes. They have yet to play a team with a starter that could be a backup at OSU.
Hey, That's My Olive Garden Money ($59-$86) (3 games)
- MSU hosts YSU -- please, someone explain this high price. I double checked twice (That's 4 checks) believing I made a typo.
- Illinois could very well be a playoff team this year. #Bert
- TCUN hosts their favorite sideline (don't get me started... don't get me started... don't get me started... or do)
B1G Ticket Items (2 games, $100+)
- Northwestern home prices are elevated as they're in a converted soccer field because their current field is 'in the shop.'
- Ohio State hosts Ohio -- I'm shocked to see this at $103
- In accordance with state and federal law, the broadcast crew will be required to state the following:
- OSU hasn't lost to an in-state opponent since Oberlin (7-6) in 1921
- OSU's sole lose to a current MAC school was in 1894 vs. Buchtel (now Akron) and their coach: John Heisman.
- In accordance with state and federal law, the broadcast crew will be required to state the following:
I expect many of these prices to drop. I am posting this on Tuesday night at 7:24 PDT (that's 10:24 PM JJS time)
