Auburn suspends three players indefinitely

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) ? Auburn linebackers Tray Blackmon and Kevin Sears and tailback Brad Lester were suspended indefinitely Friday for violation of team rules, coach Tommy Tuberville said.

All three players will miss the 10th-ranked Tigers' game against No. 22 Nebraska in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day.

Going to be a good game. Auburn runs an Offense that I would call "USC Light." They do not have the playmakers at the WR slot this year. Their D is fast but not exceptionally big. I wonder if the Huskers can wear these guys down? Zac Taylor is probably looking to atone for his disappointing performance against the Sooners.

The game is going to be a tight one.

Looks like the Nebraska fans aren't living up to their reputation in this one.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Tickets for the Cotton Bowl are so cheap that a family of four could see the New Year's Day game between Nebraska and Auburn in Dallas for less than $100.

The lowest price found Tuesday, on StubHub.com, was $12 for a ticket with a face value of $90.

...

Neither Nebraska nor Auburn had sold out its allotment of 12,500 tickets, all priced at $90. All but about 3,500 of the 68,252 Cotton Bowl stadium seats have a face value of $90.

The prestige of the Cotton Bowl has dwindled in recent years. The facilities seem like they are outdated. Perhaps the Cotton Bowl should move over to the new Cowboy digs. Maybe then it would get a better start time. Keep in mind kickoff is at 1030AM local time.

A lot of Husker fans are buying directly from the Cotton Bowl itself as well as getting them third hand from folks who are not going.

That really doesn't bode well when one of the name bowls, part of the old bowl circuit, cannot get full attendance, full value.

That's a bit of a shock, when the Cornhuskers were here for the LA game the airport was flooded with thier fans. Maybe everyone in Nebraska blew the life savings on the trip to cali?
