Cowboys don’t want red and black horde
One of the more notable aspects of last year’s Georgia-Arizona State game in Tempe was the large percentage of the 71,706 seats in Sun Devil Stadium filled by fans cheering for the Dogs.
Talking about that game to the Greater Atlanta Bulldog Club this week, UGA athletics director Damon Evans said, “I think we showed the people out in Tempe, Ariz., what football is about. When you have 25,000 Georgia Bulldogs invade the Phoenix and Tempe area, it is something else.”
Something that the folks at Oklahoma State in Stillwater apparently don’t want to see.
OSU only provided UGA with 5,000 visitors tickets for the Sept. 5 game at 60,000-seat Boone Pickens Stadium, newly renovated to the tune of $283 million.
And the match-up with Georgia was the only home game this season for which the school didn’t sell any single-game tickets.
If you didn’t get one of the 5,000 tickets sent to UGA (which are sold out), the only way to see that game in person is to buy an Oklahoma State season ticket, which goes for $479 to the general public, or go to a ticket agency. StubHub.com currently has tickets for the game ranging in price from $117 to $706.
It will be interesting to see how many Georgia fans wind up in the stands for that game. Besides the ticket situation, Stillwater is not as attractive a destination as Tempe was last year or as Boulder, Colo., will be next season.
Are you going to the Bulldogs-Cowboys game? If so, tell us in the comments how you got your tickets and what you paid for them. And if you usually travel with the Dogs but aren’t going to this game, tell us why.

Earlier you referrre to OSU as “T. Boone Pickens U.”
And now, you seem to take issue with their stadium renovation
…”to the tune of $283 Million.”
Pickens is of course an OSU alum, so, why such much bitter envy?

I’m not a huge fan of the ticket policy. That policy was in effect for the Ou game last year and i didn’t like it then either. I’d rather have the UGA game under ticket policy crap than the Texas game though. I don’t think OSU officials chose UGA b/c they were afraid of a huge UGA contingent though.

Everybody has their limit and OSU exceeded mine. $100 for a ticket, plane fair, hotel room, the pleasure of going to Stillwater in early Sept and sweating to death, just pushed me to the limit. I would rather save my money for a nice bowl trip. Hope everyone who goes has a great time. See ya in Athens Sept 12.

Apparently the party place is called “The Strip”. Washington Street between 6th Street and University. I guess that would be the comparable Pub Crawl in dowtown Athens. The population on non game days is a shade under 40,000. Eskimo Joes apparently has some awsome chili fries. Since it is Oklahoma, I imagine you can find a decent steak. Any Cowboys care to comment on the food and beverage choices feel free.

St. Semen’s…..you seem to be very fixated on one particular game. I agree, it was an anomaly, so you should hold on tightly that memory…that is if you can let go of your Mr. Wiggly long enough to hold onto any thing else.
OSU is smart to restrict ticket sales to the Georgia game. In the past, you had to buy season tickets in order to purchase Georgia tickets when we played at Grunt Field….probably still do.
Do y’all still have “rats” at Tech with those little goofy yellow caps? Or have you switched to turbans? or …..just plain ol’ towels?

You could actually put the city of Stillwater into the stadium and have room for the Dawg fans. Apparently, just like Tech grads, Oklahoma State grads do not stick around town after graduation. Stillwater must be slam packed during a home game weekend.

I gotta say as much as I love the Dawgs and the SEC I think the ‘S-E-C’ chant is pretty lame. I don’t care to chant for the likes of Florida while watching my team. And what does the ‘Overrated’ cheer say about your win? That you just beat someone that’s not very good?

A couple years back, wife and I were returning from a three week driving trip out west, Colorado, Arizona, Las Vegas, etc. Stopped at a “Sonic” off I-40 around Ok. City, didn’t realize we had to eat in the car. We toughed it out, 104 degrees in the shade of the canopy! So, rather sit in the comfort of my air conditioned house and watch the game on hi-def with the cold beer in the fridge and bathroom down the hall. By the way, that 104 was around the 1st of Sept.!

Going. Wife is an OSU grad and I’m a UGA grad. We bought 4 OSU season ticket packages (2 other friends are coming with) for $270 per. They have 7 total home games including Texas, Missouri, TTech and Colorado. We felt we would be able to sell the remaining tickets and either make a small profit or at minimum break even. Stillwater is a good little town and it will be a fun time.

Stillwater is a great little town, and the campus is beautiful. This is the second year in a row that they’ve restricted tickets to one of the bigger home games in order to develop their season ticket sales. It’s actually an idea that started with Iowa/Iowa State, I believe. It’s really too bad Mr. King didn’t want to do any more research into the issue.
“The strip” (just south of campus) is the happening place to be after the game with its selection of bars, and Eskimo Joes or Hideaway make for a great pregame meal.
Oh, and while 60k fans isn’t a large stadium, you should also keep in mind that the stands are extremely close to the field. You can find countless quotes from players and coaches in years past complaining of feeling like the fans were “right on top of them”. It can definitely be intimidating if you’re not careful….

wow all you guys are talking a bunch of crap about OSU….personally I hope they lay you all flat on your @sses but I too think they are overrated. You never know though, just because your in the SEC and they are in the Big 12 means its an automatic win. Its kind of funny that fans of a certain team in a certain conference seem to cling to ideas of conference superiority when the team they support fall short. 70 percent of the SEC National Titles belong to three teams…LSU, UF, and Alabama.

Then what was he asking smart guy? Let me guess. He seems to think that a bunch of fans chanting “overrated” at the game might actually hurt our strength of schedule? LOL. Does the BCS formula take that into account? Will our SOS ratings take a hit the more we chant “overrated” at the games? I know what he was asking clown and it was a dumb question. I’ll even answer his other dumb question about what it says about our win. It doesn’t say a damn thing about our win. That’s not the point. It says the other team is crap and the media is crap for thinking they were good. That’s all it says. Its one of the more powerful, demoralizing, and humiliating chants in all of sports if you ask me. I love it. You are dismissed. Good day.

I don’t think its classless. Throwing things on the field like Tech fans do is classless. So is stealing the jerseys of opposing teams’ players like Tech fans do. A little “overrated” chanting is not classless. Its just honesty. There is nothing classless about that.

I really don’t have that much of an issue with the ‘Overrated’ cheer. I just think it says we are downgrading the quality of our win by saying it was against an inferior opponent. Nothing more. No BCS implications intended. Let’s not go off the deep end on this one. No biggie.
I’m more bothered by the ‘S-E-C’ chant because I thing we should be saying ‘U-G-A’ instead. Like I said before the ‘S-E-C’ chant is a cheer for Florida et al. And from the reactions I’ve gotten out here on the left coast many fans find that one to be more classless. I certainly want our conference to look strong but it gives this ‘holier than thou’ kind of vibe to fans of other conferences. Don’t get me wrong. I love the SEC and think it’s without a doubt the best conference; I just don’t want us to look arrogant. But I concede I’m probably in the minority on this chant.

I’m aware that OSU pulled the same thing with their game against Oklahoma last year, requiring a season ticket. Because of that, they fell 11,000 short of a sellout. I think they’ll probably sell the place out for Georgia, though, since their fan base is convinced they’re worldbeaters this year.
And Stillwater may be a great little town, but it’s not a draw like Tempe or Boulder.

Dawg fans coming to Stillwater will be peasantly surprised. We have made many improvements in our town and campus since the last time UGA visited 700 years ago. Our stadium is very nice, may be small by dawg standards but let me assure you it will impress you with its ameneties.
Allow me to recommend some restaurants. Eskimo Joes on elm street, very good place. Mexico Joes on Hall of Fame just down from the stadium is excellent mexican food. In fact we have many wonderful mexican restaurants here, you really cannot go wrong. Another big Stillwater restaurant is the Hideaway located just south of campus, famous for pizza and the place where the game Pente was invented. Yes it is true, Pente was invented in Stillwater.
Dawg fans interested in healthy outdoor activites will find numerous outlets at Boomer Lake in town (surrounded by three mile paved trail, perfect for walking/jogging and burning off the tension from the game) and Lake McMurtry and Lake Carl Blackwell west of town, both known for biking trails and fishing/boating. Our town has three golf courses including the world reknowned Karsten Creek west of town. Karsten has in the past hosted the NCAA men’s championship. It is really a great place to golf with a beautiful layout and a western-themed clubhouse. Dawg fans who golf should take advantage of the opportunity.
Stillwater may seem like a bad place for a trip but it is not. For the dawg naturalist, I recommend Lake McMurtry west of town. This is the site of one of the highest concentrations of painted buntings in the world, and they should still be here in early September. The famed scissortail flycatcher, a very unique species, can also be seen in abundance in the Stillwater area. Stillwater is located on the edge of the post oak/prairie ecosystems and has an abundance of wildlife particularly birds.
We welcome all dawg fans to Stillwater and hope you have a wonderful time. OSU fans are known for treating opposing fans with respect and friendliness. We are not like Vol fans or Alabama fans. One warning, be very careful with public drinking because Stillwater has a law against public consumption of alcohol and the cops here enforce that law with vigor. If you have any problems in Stillwater, it will likely be because you are not behaving yourself. We are used to mass invasions of opposing fans having had vast experience with Texas, OU, Nebraska, etc. etc. Texas and OU fans are the worst, usually drunk and very rude.
I have traveled extensively in SEC territory myself. The SEC town I would find most comparable to Stillwater would probably be Auburn.

Mr. King-I’m aware that this is a UGA blog and your job is to incite some controversy and get the UGA fans and players riled up while getting a lot of hits for your paper’s website. But, as with the Andre Sexton article, you are twisting things around and in some cases, playing fast and loose with facts in doing so. For example:
“I’m aware that OSU pulled the same thing with their game against Oklahoma last year, requiring a season ticket.” Then why do you make it sound as if they are intentionally singling out UGA by stating that “OSU only provided UGA with 5,000 visitors tickets…”? All the other teams we play at home “only” get an allotment of 5,000 tickets. The difference being that those other games (except OU) will have single-game tickets available if they need more than 5,000.
“Because of that, they fell 11,000 short of a sellout.” Again, not entirely true. At the time of the game with OU last year, the stadium was not complete. Therefore, the capacity was not 60,000 at that time. The only portion that was not complete were the suites. I was at that game and the stands (outside of the suites) were virtually full with only a few empties in the upper corners. You don’t have to believe me. Go back and look at some replays of that game and you can clearly see that.
We went through this same controversy with the OU fans last year. The purpose of the policy is simply to sell more season tickets, period. UGA is ONE of the marquis games on our schedule this year. The other is Texas. If OSU’s intent were to exclude fans of other teams, don’t you think they might consider doing this for Texas seeing how this is a conference game and their fan base is closer and much more likely to attend?
OSU has historically been an underfunded atheletic program with a relatively small fan base and in a state with a small population. And of course, we play in the huge shadow cast by the Sooners. It is only because of Mr. Pickens’ gifts we even have this nice (although yes, small by SEC standards) stadium. But to maintain the stadium (and the program) at a level that is competitive within the Big 12, we need to increase our season ticket base. Therefore the ticket policy is not, and never has been about excluding anybody.
With that said, I want to welcome as many of you UGA fans that are planning to attend. That includes you, Mr. King. I would like for us to have an oppotunity to change your opinions about OSU and Stillwater. As I stated before, this is a huge game for OSU, probably the biggest OOC home game ever, and we’ve looked forward to it for a very long time. I actually like for a lot of fans to show up from opposing teams. It makes for a great atmosphere and for the most part, it’s usually enjoyable to visit with fans from other schools. Stillwater may not be as scenic as Boulder but I guarantee you, the people will be friendlier and the crowd much less hostile toward you. For those of you traveling, have a safe trip and we look forward to seeing you here on Sept. 5 for what should be an interesting and entertaining game.

Sorry hit you again on this, but the irony is just too good to resist. According to this article in your own paper: http://blogs.ajc.com/uga-sports-blog/2009/07/30/the-price-of-going-on-the-road-with-the-dogs/comment-page-1/#comment-7445, it sounds like UGA doesn’t want it’s own fans going to the OSU game since you have to have contributed $4,000 to get a single game ticket to the OSU game. And you act as if having to purchase the $400 OSU season ticket is highway robbery. Couldn’t you save yourself about 90% by just ponying up for the OSU season ticket?
Rob

OrangeCowboy,
The reason you need to have donated at least $4000 to UGA to get an OSU ticket is simply because the supply of tickets provided by OSU exceeded the demand from UGA fans. When there are more requests than tickets the University prioritizes based on lifetime contribution.
I am looking forward to the visit to Stillwater and have my tickets

To follow up on Rob’s info. Here is some info for tickets for GA away games this yr.
Georgia said Thursday that cumulative lifetime contributions to the Athletic Association of at least $21,950 were required to gain the right to buy tickets from UGA’s allotment to the Oct. 10 football game at Tennessee. Getting tickets through UGA for the Sept. 5 season opener at Oklahoma State required contributions of at least $4,000.
On the other hand, Georgia said it was able to accommodate all orders from contributors for the Sept. 19 game at Arkansas. Cutoffs haven’t been calculated yet for games at Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech and in Jacksonville against Florida.
Georgia earlier said that $4,205 in lifetime contributions were required to gain the right to buy first-time home season tickets this year. And what about season-ticket holders who wanted to purchase additional single-game tickets to, say, the Oct. 3 home game against LSU? That required contributions of $32,500 to qualify.
Georgia said lifetime contributions of $18,050 and $10,000 were required to qualify to buy single-game tickets to the home games against Arizona State and Kentucky, respectively.
No single-game tickets were available for the home games against South Carolina and Auburn, UGA said, because those schools took the maximum allotment of visitors’ tickets. At the other extreme, Georgia was able to fill all contributors’ orders for single-game tickets to the Nov. 7 home game against Tennessee Tech.
UGA fills ticket orders — whether for season tickets, single-game home tickets (when available) or road tickets — on the basis of prospective purchasers’ cumulative lifetime contributions, starting with the highest and continuing until the ticket supply is exhausted.

Rob and 6-7, I understand the concept. I was just taking a little dig at Mr. King (who, it should be noted, hasn’t bothered to respond to any of my other posts). That aside, it is commendable that you have so many loyal fans that are willing to travel to games. Obviously, when demand is greater than supply, there has to be some equitable way to prioritize. It’s a problem I only wish OSU had.
By saying UGA doesn’t want it’s own fans going to to the away games, I was just illustrating the absurdity of Mr. King’s saying that OSU’s policy was designed to keep UGA fans away.
Rob-As I said in my previous post, looking forward to having you and the rest of the UGA fans visit. I think you will enjoy the day in Stillwater. It should be a great atmosphere, especially if the Gameday crew shows up. Let me know if you need any info on Stillwater.

It is unfortunate, but it is a fact. I advise all dawg fans to NOT drink in public, and to toe the line around the police. Our police are really terrible here. They are a bunch of fascist pigs.

All these people keep making remarks about no public consumption in stillwater, but it is not enforced at all on gamedays, and the dry-campus policy actually doesn’t apply on gamedays. As long as you don’t do anything stupid, the police will ot hassle you for drinking on gamedays.
