I'm pretty bummed...I got an email back from Texas Sunday that I didn't get tickets.

 I've been going with my family (wife & 2 kids) to the bowl game - wherever - every year. We really get into it.  Im in the Longhorn foundation but I don't give much more than the minimum, and I get decent season tickets seats at DKR-M.

Immediately after the Ohio State game I booked a hotel and airline tickets to Pasadena.  Last year the best we could get was a room about 15 miles from teh Rose Bowl, so I wanted to book early...but I was really hoping for tickets.

I looked on eBay, but the going rate is right about $1000 for the end zone. $4K is a lot more than I want to spend, but I'm still thinking about it.   I guess all of the NC hype has pushed this  out of reach.   There were a lot of tickets available for that last Holiday Bowl !
