The bowl system of school allocations sucks. For most bowls, the school's tickets aren't good seats. We bought tix through the AA for years until one year we went at the last minute and bought much better seats from scalpers for less money. Still buy from the AA most years just out of loyalty but I always hold my nose.
As for this game, I'm not going. Our offense is terrible and the coaching is a mess so I don't expect to be very competitive. Hard to shell out $1500 on a bowl trip under the circumstances. Ironically we would have gone had Richt elected to coach the game (irony is that I wanted him gone, but it would have been a nice opportunity for a farewell).
