JohnA: Shame On Boise State

JohnA: In Boise for the holidays, we were excited (even as Vandal fans) to see that 1500 tickets were being made available for the soldout BSU game here this weekend. It appears that a lot of students left for the holiday so the tickets are available. Our excitement turned to sickness when the price of the tickets became the new $64 question. Yes, indeed, sixty-four bucks to see the Broncos play. Now, I can understand they've got one of the few undefeated teams in the nation, so the demand for the tickets will likely exceed the supply. But, give us a break. This is college football, right, and the tickets have already been accounted for, basically, by including their value in students' fees. So why treat BSU gridsters like rock stars by charging those kind of prices?

Question: How much would you be willing to pay to see undefeated Boise State host Nevada this week?
