Students Shorted NC Tix, claims ESPN

The top-secret lottery info was so buried that over 6,000 students and 1,000 faculty/staff somehow cracked the code and showed up at the correct time and place. Imagine that. A freshman might have an excuse in that they haven't been around for past lotteries. What's your excuse, because you're not new around here. Cry me a river.

If you don't take care of the students while they are there, why should they ever give back as alums?

I haven't given one red cent to Ohio State since I graduated, for alumni dues or otherwise, and have no intention to do so. I'm still bitter over the ticket fiasco when I was a freshman, and they dicked us in 1998.

Good, more for me.

Don't take care of students? Last I checked, students getting season tickets for a pretty good price. Take your crying elsewhere.

That whole article epitomizes the current state of college students. Whenever the spoiled little bitches don't get what they want, they cry to mommy or daddy or the nearest newpaper. Pathetic.

Yeah, dickhead, except that they didn't even offer more than one ticket to freshman when I was there. I think I have a right to be pissed about that. The price didn't matter as much as the opportunity to purchase. If you wanted a ticket to the other games, you had to go buy one off a scalper - and we all know how reasonable they were during 1998.... Pardon me, if I don't think that college football tickets should be treated the same as pro football. It is, after all, "college" football.

As an alumnus, I've been to so many Buckeye games (granted most after my freshman year), it's not a big deal for me to go anymore. I had my time as a student, and I'm more than happy to watch a game on tv and allow the current students to have more than their fair share of allotted tickets to enjoy Buckeye football the same way most of the alumni enjoyed it while they were there.

It sounds to me more like the alumni, and even a large amount of non-alumni large donors won the whining war about ticket allotment a lot time ago. If you think they didn't bitch, moan, and bribe for more tickets, you're kidding yourself.

EDIT: I'm glad to be on the opposite side of Tibor on this issue. That way, I know I'm right.

So, 1 out of 4 years you didn't get tickets.

Is there some law saying OSU students have a right for tickets?

Given your crying, it's a good thing you weren't in the stadium. OSU can do without crybaby fans.

It's called treating your students well. It's a good policy to have I believe.

Given that your sole talent is pissing people off, I'd imagine you would just want the policy that pisses the most people off. I would say it would be a good thing if you weren't at the Stadium because you'd end up causing fights with your pot-stirring, but I'd imagine you're another one of those "internet" toughguys.

Actually, I did go to every game in 1998 as well... but I had to pay far too much to scalpers for MSU, Minnesota, and Penn State. Since I lived in the Stadium, I put off sneaking into a game until Michigan. I felt like Ohio State owed me a free pass to the last one.
