Supposedly, upper level 50 yard line seats were going for 6 dollars this morning.

get guacamole with the burrito?

I will be rooting for Nebraska to lose, not moo u to win. moo u is irrelevent. No one cares about them. Not even the students and alumni. Their stadium can only hold 80K, this is almost half of ours and we will up the Big House every single "cotton pick'n saturday" as the Ufer would say.

I'd rather have a burrito than watch an offensive atrocity in the cold. That said, go Sparty.
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:00 PM ^
Why should we care? Are we that infatuated with MSU that we need to know the ticket prices of their games?
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:24 PM ^
I just find it interesting. MSU has a prety big fanbase, and this is their first home game against Nebraska as a big ten member.
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:21 PM ^
Nebrasksa fans generally travel in large numbers to away games, so imagine where prices would be without that demand. I expect the Husker crowd to be quite noisy in the sparty double-wide stadium
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:52 PM ^
an embarrassing scene.
November 2nd, 2012 at 11:06 PM ^
I am in the military, and live in Omaha. Many of the Husker fans made the trip to LA for the UCLA game, as well as the Northwestern game a few weeks ago. I know they travel well, but from all the rumblings I have heard, I wouldn't expect an overwhelming crowd like we saw at NW in Chicago a few weeks ago.
November 2nd, 2012 at 11:52 PM ^
I livedin Omaha last year and they do travel very well. Many of my friends' families made the trip to AA last November.

As an American and a consumer, I welcome information of this nature, that helps me decide how to spend my money. Because, you know, I could watch the MSU-Nebraska game live. Or I could eat a burrito. It's a difficult decision. Because there's football. But its Michigan State football. And then, there's a burrito.
Life throws some tough choices at you sometimes.

There always has to be that guy.

Is there really? I haven't noticed it. FTR, I live in Oakland County. Is there a specific area they tend to be concentrated in? You always hear about the border states and then NYC/Chicago.

There are some Hispanic communities in West Michigan, but I wouldn't call them "huge." Statewide they are 4% of the population (compared to 16% nationwide).

Truth identified precisely by its unpopularity.

BTB, Chicken burrito with green salsa. Exactly $6. That, or sit out in the cold watching two fat kids have a pillow fight. Hmmm.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:08 PM ^
If it were an actual pillowfight between two actual fat kids. I'd totally pay 6 bucks to see that. Given that it's a metaphor for MSU football though, I'll take the burrito.
Come to think of it though, StraightDave still owes me a steak dinner, so I can save my money and still watch the metaphorical pillowfight.

the night jerseys are selling like hotcakes in Ohio.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:25 PM ^
Never in a million years would I have guessed it. Mark Dantonio is turing the tide on the rivalry to the point where he is laying in the weeds...
Or something like that.
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:11 PM ^
No one cares about Staee.
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:20 PM ^
So a Staee grad would have to deliver, like, 3 pizzas to be able to gain admission?
November 2nd, 2012 at 11:14 PM ^
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:30 PM ^
Wow there are a lot of cheap tickets available. Nebraska is known for traveling well, it might end up being a pro-Nebraska crowd.
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:31 PM ^
We beat them. Can't we stop obsessing now?
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:35 PM ^
our chances to win the conference depends on them...so it's in our interest for them to have a couple fans at the game

My guess is there's a tremendous collective let-down in Sparty-land this year. Coming off last year, even with Cousins gone, the expectations were high. Losing to ND, OSU, Michigan and (for good measure) Iowa has taken all the wind out of their sails.
In a way, Michigan's loss to Nebraska last week did something similar, though not quite to the same degree. Alabama and ND could have been looked past, but losing to Nebraska and putting them in the driver's seat for the division hurt. The season is not over, and of course we're all looking forward to OSU ... but I think it's safe to say the enthusiasm would be a whole lot higher had we beat Nebraska last week.
Just human nature ... dealing with unmet expectations is not always a joy ride.

we just need Nebraska to lose a game or even, 2. There are other games left on their schedule besides @MSU. Now a loss by Nebraska tomorrow would be nice, but Michigan's whole season does NOT depend on it. I wouldn't be unhappy with a Spartan victory, but then again, I wouldn't be too upset to see Nebraska pile it on either. A very mediocre season for Sparty would be a welcome thing around here.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:05 PM ^
They could possibly lose to Penn State, but I think MSU has a much better chance.
It is pretty unlikely for them to lose to Minnesota or Iowa.
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:04 PM ^
I moved out to Iowa for a job 2 years ago & was really surprised how much animosity there is between the two schools.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
But on the other hand, last year you could have gotten two tickets for the price of one and a five dollar footlong from Subway...let's not worry about the fact that was for a bad out of conference game...
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:34 PM ^
The real question is will there be more people at the CMU-WMU game then the MSU- Nebraska. Answer= No.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:48 PM ^
Because to them, basketball season commenced as soon as Gibbons hit the game winning field goal against Sparty.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:56 PM ^
One of these looks great from afar, definitely worth your time and investment, especially if you are drunk. Yet, once you actually experience it first hand, it falls apart while making a mess, and leaves you feeling sick to your stomach and proclaiming that you'll never do THAT again.
And then there's the burrito.

November 2nd, 2012 at 8:59 PM ^
Burrito > shits I get eating from eating burrito > state game
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:02 PM ^
F*CK State
