To be fair are there not different brackets of seating prices. Face value could be a wide range.

I know, I was just effing with Vegas...the face value and the PM request both being (seemingly) dismissed made me chuckle.

Kelly's take on the season, and the upcoming bowl game:

Does Jack Nolan have the greatest job in the world, or what?

Would you rather win the Fiesta Bowl and Jaylon, Fuller, and Stanley go to the NFL or lose the Fiesta Bowl and get all 3 players back next year?

unfortunately in order for us to continue to take steps forward....i will have to say win the Fiesta as this continues momentum and gets rid of our terrible Big Time Bowl performances of the past 20 years, helps recruiting and moral

Idk if there is a wrong answer here, but I would rather win the Fiesta Bowl. I think the program needs this game to springboard them back into the upler echelon of college football again. I feel like we have been on the fringe for the last 10 years and getting back to back wins against LSU and Ohio State in bowl games would do just that. It also is a similar path that Clemson has taken recently, and I would like to be where they are this time next year.

Win it. We're prepared to lose them, or we should be.

Well if that doesn't fire you up...nothing will. Yeah, Jack does a fabulous job.

Win it. Good teams that compete for championships have the depth necessary to replace first round talent. If this team is ready to compete in the playoffs, they have guys waiting to replace Jaylon, Fuller, and Stanley

Win it. I live in Ohio and have grown to hate the obnoxious OSU fans. We need a big time win.

Not even close. I'll take a heartbreaking one point loss in OT for those 3 next year. Actually, I'd let Ronnie go and still take that loss. My sights have been set on '16 since Jaylon, Malik and the '13 crew showed up and it became obvious what HH's OL program was. Next year is the year and anyways...

a one point loss would still be progress!

Hey guys, looking like I'll have a single ticket in Sec. 408 Row 3. About the 15 yard line, on the ND sideline. Got it from the public allotment, and will sell for what I paid, $150. Can pick up in Phoenix area tomorrow, NYE, or day of game. PM me if you're interested!

And if it was a blowout?

The question is easy though because we know Stanley and Jaylon are 99.9% definitely leaving. So I'll take the one I'm not certain about, and that is us winning this ball game.

You are mixing reality with a hypothetical. Stanley and Jaylon wouldn't leave in my hypothetical. Also I don't think 99.99% is accurate for Jaylon. Everyone has assumed he is gone but I think there is a ~20% chance he stays if we lose this game. He will have unfinished business.

I don't do blowouts. They linger for decades. I'll let 2 of the 3 QB's transfer before I take a blowout loss like the Oregon St. Fiesta Bowl in '01.

I just thought a few things:

Bad news: ND is 0-3 in AZ since I moved there during the 2000 season.

Bad News: ND is 0-3 against OSU's over those 3 games and play another on Friday.

Good News: I've slept more in Cali this season than in AZ so the curse is reversed.

To our staff's defense, we were deep at RB and he would have made one hell of a defensive back. Considering the short NFL lifespan of a RB, he would have probably done just as well or better as a db.

Tweet 1: True and sad for ND. Although you can't blame a recruiter for looking at him and saying... He's gonna be an All-World skrong safety.

Tweet 2: Lie... switched because Warinner and Hinton went to Columbus and Ronnie Stanley committed to ND. He made the right move, could have ended up the RT at ND and his checkbook would have taken a hit because of it when it came NFL time.

Oh I know I am, but even so, my answer remains the same. Besides, I almost WANT those guys to leave...for their own good.

that's a big number. If I had to guess I'd say it's closer to 10% and that's being hopeful and optimistic.
