nobody i know got tickets to the rose bowl, which, for you sub-rock dwellers out there, features a matchup of unheard hype: texas (boo) vs. usc (yay). i entered the student lottery, which incidentally boasts the same odds of winning the actual lottery, in hopes of securing tickets for my roommate, but to no avail. my boss at the physics department was on the verge of leaping out of the fourth floor window of the office where i work after discovering that she didn't receive tickets in the staff lottery. she's been "out sick" for the past couple of days, no doubt caught in the depths of a devastating depression after seeing ticket prices on ebay and stubhub.
personally, i'd rather watch the matchup from the comfort of my couch with a brew in hand than from the upper seats of the south section of the rose bowl. if you offered me good tickets, on the other hand, that would be a different story. but seriously folks. $500-2,000 for one ticket?! i'd rather take a week-long trip to europe than spend 4 hours with a crappy view of a game that is going to turn out to be a disappointing outcome following the increasingly overexaggerated hype that is already being pumped out by one sports commentator after another. so everyone just take a deep breath, put down the checkbook and the visa card, and repeat after me: it's just a game.
