Interesting story coming out of the Badger Herald a couple of days ago and now coming out of the Star Tribune...click here for the story.
Apparently, one of the writers of the Herald has a really big problem with Wisconsin students buying tickets for the Rose Bowl and then selling them to make a profit on websites like Stubhub, Craigslist, and Ebay......
So what the writer did was find out who was doing this horrible terrible act and then publish their names in the paper under the title "The Worse People on Campus"......
Now I understand if you are bitter about this situation.....actually I don't......Because if people had kept their tickets to every sporting event in the world, there is now way I would have seen so many games that range in 12 different pro and college venues.... You think that I would have found a ticket to the "Big House" in Michigan without buying it from someone who wasn't selling theirs???
I am sure people buying things and re-selling them for a profit has been going on for a couple thousand years.....or is that just me?
Accept the fact Badger Herald....That the scalping world may affect the Rose Bowl......
I'm sure any Gopher Fan would have this wonderful problem any day..
Stay Fresh,

Yeah its kind of a funny story, but I have to think he's close to a couple friends/students who got denied tickets. The students were only allowed 3000 tickets and for some reason they allowed each student to buy 2 at a time. So like the girl who accidentally bought 2 and is now selling her second at a crazy price so she can get her first ticket pretty much free. A lot of students were salty for the fact some die hard fans who would actually go to the game and use that ticket now has to pay almost twice as much because of greedy students. I suppose it is a good problem to have rather than no fans at all......(goofers). Everyone bleeds red and I cant wait to be out there with 40000 + of my closest friends.........
