I had to find a spot for 8 mo fo's so I was able to get section 522 row 1 for something less than the GDP of a small 3rd world nation. Seats look decent with a good view. I usually spend the money and get down close but 8 tickets is a big number.

My Cbus ticket guy is going to see what he can do about finding me 2 sets of 4 in a better spot. If he does I'll just sell these.

See you guys there

Yup, had to find five together for the Pig House on Sat. That really limited my options if I wasn't willing to cut into the college fund. For what it's worth, if you're looking for a single, you can get a really good seat for a pretty reasonable price at the Pig House. It's kinda strange how it's easier / more cost effective to go see tOSU play in *ichigan than it is to go to the Shoe. Kinda telling.

Damn.....what does that set you back?

Before I respond, I'll start with last year I was holding over $2000 in PSU B1G Championship tickets up until four days (or so) before the game. I was considering driving to Indy to unload them at a fairly significant loss prior to someone scooping them up on StubHub. Aside from shipping I broke even and was very thankful to have done that.

Now, your answer.

www.shoowin.com

$75 per seat option to buy within my specified section at face value if they make it. There were other options available for less than $75. They were going for as low as $20 for tOSU and as low as $10 for other schools.

So, all in, it was ($75 (option) + $190 (ticket face))*4. Basically the same seats as I had in '14 and would have had to see State Penn play for $1060.00 as opposed to $2000+ in the open market... and I gladly would have paid the $300 to eliminate the stress of having someone else's tickets on game day. I may have actually paid less for the option part, but it was pretty close. It was whatever the price was on the day the option marked was opened.

I'll never buy B1G championship tickets on the open market again.

Edit: Yup... I got in early. The options on my seats were $55 / seat and went up to $75 as the season went on.

Amen.

Question for you since you’ve been in or near this section before. What are the clubs like? Any truth to extra room, etc. or other benefits?

Club seats? Hmmm... Frankly, I don't recall. There may be some extra room. I don't recall really looking closely or noticing anything about them that would have made me want to switch. Rows 10-20 in those sections are pretty solid. Anything closer and you're starting to lose perspective... much higher and you don't get as much of the sideline atmosphere.

If you're six rows behind us, I promise, you'll not want for different. Are you seats 1-4? That'd be crazy!

Nice. Good to know, thanks. It looks like we’re smack in the middle, 9-10. I’m alright with that. Don’t plan on doing much shuffling around once TBDBITL/game time rolls around.

Yeah, you'll probably not move around much.

In '14 I was actually on the Wisky side. By half time there was... well... plenty of room to stretch out. In '14 we clinched two weeks early and tOSU bought up all the tickets (as opposed to Wisky clinching early this year). Sideline behind Wisky was well over 50% tOSU... guessing 70% tOSU. That was helped by some lady from Wisky who snuck in a flask and ended up getting the boot. Her husband (guessing) followed her out. I don't know that I would have been as willing to follow as he was. Lesson learned, they will pop you if you bring in... so if you do, be discrete.

There were a couple of BPers behind us. @RugbyBuck & @osugrad21? Was that you guys in like row 20 or so on the Wisky side?

The Wisconsin-Ohio State Big Ten Championship Game is happening, and I have no idea how it’s going to go
9
This shapes up as a heavyweight fight.

pjimage__6_.0.jpg


Wisconsin clinched the Big Ten West in Week 11, and Ohio State ensured Saturday that it’ll meet the Badgers in the conference championship game, Dec. 2 in Indianapolis. The Buckeyes trounced Illinois, 52-14, to lock up the league’s East division. Head-to-head tiebreakers mean OSU wins the division no matter what it does against rival Michigan on Rivalry Weekend.

As long as Wisconsin beats Minnesota next weekend, the undefeated Badgers will be playing for a Playoff berth when they meet Ohio State. Wisconsin dominated MichiganSaturday to stay perfect.

In Indy, there’s a good chance Ohio State will have a Playoff shot, too. The Buckeyes have two ugly losses, and no two-loss team has made the field before. But there’s been enough chaos that OSU remains in the thick of things. The Pac-12 is out of the race already, and the Big 12 could miss out if Oklahoma doesn’t win its death trap of a league title game.

Not that it makes a difference, but these teams have done this before.

You’ll hear and read lots of pregame talk about the 2014 Big Ten Championship Game, where Ohio State beat Wisconsin 59-0 and gained enough of a boost to leap both Baylor and TCU for the fourth seed in the Playoff. Ohio State won it all that year.



None of the teams’ key contributors in that game will play in this one. Wisconsin’s coach is now Paul Chryst, not Gary Andersen. But anyway, it’ll come up.

The teams also played in 2016, when Ohio State won in overtime in Madison.

Ohio State will probably be favored, despite Wisconsin’s better record.

The Buckeyes were more than a touchdown favorite in some early odds that bookmakers circulated a few weeks ago, in the event this game ever arose. They’ll probably start game week favored by something less than that TD, unless either team has a big injury or does something weird in Week 13.

Both teams are really good. The Buckeyes entered this weekend No. 1 in the country in advanced stat S&P+, and the Badgers were No. 3.

Ohio State has a lot more talent by the measure of recruiting rankings, with four- and five-star players all over the field. Wisconsin has few of those. But the Badgers dohave one of the best running backs in the country in freshman Jonathan Taylor. And Ohio State’s defense did just give up 55 points to Iowa a few weeks ago.

Most importantly, the Badgers have an elite defense that should keep them from getting blown out. They entered Week 12 with the country’s No. 3 scoring D, allowing 13 points per game. They haven’t allowed more than 24 in any game. If you’re looking for another Ohio State rout, you probably will not find it at Lucas Oil Stadium.
