Southern Miss "exclusive" deal

[dawgatUSM]

As an exclusive member of the southern miss alumni (sorry.. I was young and dumb), I have received the email below about my ability to purchase 4 tickets to this "historic" matchup. They also made it real clear that this is for the southern miss family ONLY. Ha! Also of note, for only $60 more I can buy season tickets!! That's less than they would have me pay for this one game!

So they really only have 9 fans?

Yep. Got the email as well.

Stubhub tickets now at $82 and falling for the cheapest ticket. It was at $130 a couple of weeks ago.

That place will be Davis Wade South in two weeks....resistance is futile.

I thought the same thing about Ladd Peebles last year, but that did not turn out to be the case. However, Hattiesburg is much closer to our largest alumni base in Jackson. But then again, with a 9pm start, distance may be a moot point.

South Alabama has more than 10 fans.

South Alabama has more than 10 fans.

If we have 10 fans, then USA only has 5 or 6 fans considering their bowl eligible team was still a good bit short of our avg attendance in 2014. And that was with a 38k game against MSU to start off the home slate.

As for the fan makeup on 9/5, there will definitely be some maroon at Roberts Stadium. MSU fans won't make up 75% of the stadium, but I expect 30-40% of the crowd to be Bulldog fans.

That seems pretty reasonable. I'd lean towards the low end of that range. About 22,000 USM and 11,000 MSU fans.

My dad is no alum but got an "exclusive offer" as well.

Ticket office is working their way down the totem pole. My dad got an email with an offer to buy 4 because he had bought 4 tickets to 1 (ONE!!!) USM basketball (BASKETBALL!!!) game last year. Really grasping for straws. That's got to be the last of the straws though - I imagine if they still have some after this week, they will release the rest to the public. Trying to keep tickets out of the hands of State fans is semi-understandable - just sad that they are having to go to this extent to do it.

Really sad how far their program has fallen in last three years. I don't think they'll ever be what they once were.

0-12? Nah I'm sure they've got another year like that coming soon.
