Should UT fans not be given the opportunity, especially since they limited us to less than 5,000 in original allotment?

Just to keep TN fans from getting them under the guise of doing a good deed. They worried.

Rule #1. Never bet on playoff/bowl games or rivalry games based on the popular opinion. They're probably the best games to fade the public. Things are rarely what the talking heads say. . . I think that's where a lot of the bets are coming from, people being influenced by guys like Josh Pate saying osu wins, but Tennessee covers.

Playing against the most talented team in the country, being given no chance by the general public and only a little chance by a few in the media, while fans launch an absolute invasion. I’m getting SugarVols vibes.

Only alloted 3500 tickets to TN. That's why no full band.

Talk about burying the lead. They have thousands of unsold tickets.

Weak sauce.
SEC it just means more!

Yeah. That's what I am saying. They give us a pittance and then have 25% or more of their tickets go unsold. Then they want to donate them to the "underprivileged" instead of risking an even larger Vol turnout than is coming for them.

Has to give them away to keep out Vols fans,

 

[Pridedad]

Yeah. That's what I am saying. They give us a pittance and then have 25% or more of their tickets go unsold. Then they want to donate them to the "underprivileged" instead of risking an even larger Vol turnout than is coming for them.

From a "Band Dad" prospective these kids bust their ass all year long and look forward to post season play just like the team. They look forward to a bowl game trip as much as anybody. The fact this is a limited trip is a big blow.

ESPN article says public has bet 90 percent on tOSU.

To cover? That's crazy to me with that huge spread

If they were being influenced by a guy saying Tennessee covers, then 90% of the bets wouldn't be on OSU would they?

Lay Vols vs Memphis on ESPN News tonight at 7:00 p.m.

Yes they are. That stadium may be 10-15% empty those free tickets never go fully utilized.

 

[DD4ME]

Yeah. That's what I am saying. They give us a pittance and then have 25% or more of their tickets go unsold. Then they want to donate them to the "underprivileged" instead of risking an even larger Vol turnout than is coming for them.

This is bigger than people are realizing i think. Especially from a crowd noise perspective.

Let's be honest here 90% are not on draft kings. Who knows what nonsense they are citing.

 

[DD4ME]

Of course this chub does

I am truly astonished how checked out the OSU fanbase is.

 

[SlappyVol]

@Freak what are the chances you can record the sky cast on your YT channel?

 

[DD4ME]

I guess less people to boo
