Just out of curiosity, I went to the "Stub Hub" website to see what BCSNCG tickets are running. They start at $1550.00. 

How many did you buy?

WOW    
The Dow is up 400 points today.  I may have to buy a couple of those tickets.

It would be a good investment. The price of the ticket with Bama vs LSU in New Orleans will only go up. Keep the ticket and watch Bama win Championship # 14 - PRICELESS.

I love me some TV, too, Chech.

Just out of curiosity, I went to the "Stub Hub" website to see what BCSNCG tickets are running. They start at $1550.00. 

Ordered two BCS NCG tickets thru Tide Pride in late October.

UA's ticket prices were at 2 different levels. $ 300 and $350.

BCG NCG is only allowing an allotment of 17000 to UA tickets office.

 I hm a charter member of Tide Pride and have always gotten them in the past. Plus all SEC CG tickets.

But this year they raised the threshold priority point totals for the SEC CG. I was blacked out. I have 366 total Tide Pride points. The new threshold is 405!

I called the UA ticket office and complained and they told me there would be a good chance I would still get them (if LSU would have lost) and they would Tide-Email me.

Here is a printout of my ticket points

I buy 4 season tickets per year, but that only counts a 1 season ticket purchase, not 4.

Looks like I need to give more donations. I believe the reason I got knocked off SEC CG tickets is because I stayed in the Century Club.

There were many fans that use to sit in our section that did move to the Zones.

In 2006 and again sat year when the new Zone's opened I was offered a chance to upgrade to the Zone, but the donation for those seats are $1500.00 per year per seat.

That would have made my donation over $ 6000, which 80% is tax deduction, but another $2000 for 4 season tickets to boot. I like sitting in section L a lot better than sitting in an endzone anyway. Been sitting there for 24 years. I know my neighbors.


2 years ago the BCS NCG tickets were only $200 each. Last year went up to $250- $300.

Cowboy owner, Jerry Jones,  raised his prices for college games to $200 for this years Oregon - LSU game. I bet Michigan - Alabama tickets will be $200-300 each dollars next September.

 

That's gouging in my opinion.

I love me some TV, too, Chech.

I thought you and Colonel Jackson were going to the game?

Down the mighty Mississip? Nah, not at those prices, unless Breddy is buying.

I can sorta remember seeing The Goal Line Stand for around $250. 4 nights at a flea bag room on Airline Highway, maybe a couple of Lucky Dogs, $1 for some guy to tell me where I got my shoes, milk jug of 151, Pabst Blue Ribbon (ice came with the room), and gasoline. Now tell me this will be 6 times as much fun!

Please tell me you didn't drink the gasoline and drove home on the 151.

MW, I used to live a block off Airline Hwy (1960-61).  It was a dump then too.  Those houses were bulldozed about 1980.

It's still not the greatest of areas. The only thing I can say good about that area is that it's not far from "Acme Oyster House".

I think Airline is HWY90. It is a dump from the MS/LA state line to the Sabine.

I wish you'd never mentioned the Acme Oyster House(2S). The only location in NO I know of is in the Quarters, but google says there is one at the Airport. The section of town CAT and I are talking about has nothing to do with the airport except the noise.

I also saw that (I guess) GNOIA is now Louis Armstrong International Airport?

On January 1st 1993.  Dad and I got up early that morning and left my parents  Ft. Morgan condo and took the ferry across Mobile Bay to the Dolphin Island Causeway and then up to Interstate 10 and headed west to NOLA.  3 hours at max!

We stayed in Slidell Louisiana at a Holiday Inn? About 30 miles this side of NOLA off of I-10!
 

We checked into hotel at Slidell early and then drove into New Orleans and for lunch at some restaurant that had Shrimp Poor-boy sandwiches.  Dad ate an oyster poor-boy sandwich!

We walked around and toured Jackson Square’s markets and honky-tonked at a few bars and listened to some Cajun music for a few hours.  Then we dropped in at CAFE DU'MONDE in the quarter for some coffee and beignets!

Sugar Bowl started late at like 8:00. So we had time and ate dinner "Ralph and Kacoos".

Watched Tide crush Miami and then drove back to Slidell.

Some jackass Miami fan had wrote in the dirt on rear windshield of my Chevy truck camper “we are still better than the Tide" in parking deck!

Dad got mad over that, I thought it was funny!

Back in Slidell at around 2:00 AM, dad was hungry so we stopped at the local “Waffle House” and had breakfast. Place was packed and crowded with Alabama fans celebrating #12! NC. All eating breakfast. Sobering up!

At hotel dad fell quick asleep. I was still too pumped to go to sleep! #12! NC! I stayed on the phone for an hour or so using my phone card, calling and talking to friends and workers back here in Alabama. I was yelling RTR! and stuff and dad slept right thru it all.

Got up next morning, went back to same “Waffle House” for breakfast and got back to Ft. Morgan condo around lunch.

I can still remember dad and the Dolphin Island ferry boat captain talking about the football game and about serving in the US Navy during WWII, during the hour or so trip back across Mobile Bay to Ft. Morgan.

Dad read the NOLA newspaper “Times Picayune” on ride back. Front page of NOLA newspaper had a picture of Rohan Marley ( Bob Marley’s son  who played for the “U” , being flipped upside down in the air as a Bama player blocked him.

Title of front page in Huge Pearl Harbor block letters  – “ Tide Raises Cane 34-13 ”! 

Newspaper named headlines after the Mobile Mardi Gras parade “Raising Cane:
 that is held in Mobile ever Sunday before Fat Tuesday - Joe Cane Day!

Anyone can march in that parade. Homemade floats, porter potties with wheels, horses pulling hay wagons, shopping carts, all kinds of crazy floats and people!

Winds down thru Mobile and ends up at cemetery where Joe Cane is supposedly buried; hince the name Raising Cane!


A good memory. RTR!

Excellent story. 

"Dauphin Island".  I lived there.

Don't drive drunk.

Lived in Laplace in 1989 and that is the year Tenn. vs Virginia was in the Sugar Bowl but I didn't go because it was not Bama. RTR!
