Here's a chuckle

Out of curiosity, I was checking to see if the USC/UCONN game is sold out for February 10th (close, but not quite), but someone has tickets for sale for $500 apiece. It will be a tough ticket, but not that tough.

If they really start jumping, I’m 100% selling my tickets.

 

[cockhrnleghrn]

If anyone pays more than $50 for a ticket, they're crazy.

 

[todbo]

Stubhub has upper level general admission starting at $24. Lots of lower level center court still nowhere close to $500.

I bought two tickets in section 101 for about $60 each after all of the fees. Not too bad.

 

[cockhrnleghrn]

My season tickets are 4 rows behind the opposing head coach; 101 is a lower level baseline section on the home bench end of the court.

This thread had me totally confused wondering how USC—SOUTHERN CAL—got on the schedule and why anyone would pay $500 to watch UConn demolish them. Checking the schedule I see you easterners are under the mistaken impression USC stands for University of South Carolina.....

Not all easterners.... just residents of the state of Lesser Carolina

It does;; after all, the University of South Carolina was founded almost 50 years before California became a state.

If I didn't like you, I'd bring up a score from December.

On another note, the tagline "Southern Gentleman" is ironic under my avatar, since I am a native of NJ and both of my parents were from NYC. I chuckle every time I see it.

Yeah, I'm with you. I never knew U of So. Carolina was known as USC. It's been a few years since I first saw that reference, here on the BY. When I see USC I NEVER think of So. Carolina. The wife and I have very dear friends (NH natives raised in Ct.) in Columbia, I will try and remember to ask them about the USC reference and report back..

This year they changed their logo to UofSC. Not everyone down here is happy about it.

As Southern Carolina College. Maybe you should use SCC???

One minor correction. People at the University of Southern California never refer to themselves as “Southern Cal.” That’s what sportscasters from New York (and Connecticut) call them. It’s always “USC” or “SC.”

If this is not a joke or sarcasm, USofC makes no sense.

UofSC, but our fans hate it.

Oh, I agree. I only used Southern California to differentiate between it and South Carolina for the sake of this list. Being from a PAC-12 school, I always say USC, as in I enjoying watching CU women beat USC last week. I do hear SC from time to time but I have spent seven decades saying USC.

 

[jumpstart]

There are multiple USC's...and every other abbreviated university tag. I don't think there is but one Gamecock that people relate to. I know Jacksonville St. are Gamecocks but when you say Gamecocks...you know who it is. I think they should ditch USC and Carolina and use their unique mascot name. I never understood the USCe and other stuff people use as a swipe...just say Gamecocks like people use UCONN....or the Vols....or the Crimson Tide....or any other name....Alabama doesn't use AU and Tennessee doesn't use UT....be unique ! The USofC sucks...lol...

 

[ed4ourgirls]

In the football centric universe USC has always meant Southern Cal, just as UT has
aways meant Texas.

So the “Gentleman” piece must be incorrect also?

Possibly, lol, though there may be a few gentlemen from Jersey.

In national championship game did you root for the Tigers or the Tigers?

The Tigers that play in Death Valley.....I guess that didn't help either. LSU....

I'm so glad this is a Clemson free zone since they've been irrelevant in WBB for a generation. We can't even get that on Gamecock boards.

They were relevant (to us anyway) when Glenney went there.

My late brother lived happily in NJ for nearly 40 years. I’d call him a gentleman...especially given that his license plate was “CT HOOPS” and he passed away quite suddenly while watching a UConn game.

Last year my wife and I went to Cincy to see the Huskies play the Bearcats. (Although we won, it was a sloppy and uninspiring game, like some of our recent games.)

We paid $5 on the Cincy website for our seats that were lower mid-court. Great seats!

On the way home , we ran into a couple of UConn fans also living in Michigan. The husband had purchased their tickets as a gift for his wife on Stubhub or a similar venue - he paid $75 per ticket.

I thought it best not to tell him what we got ours for ........................

My mom lives in Cincinnati and has taken full advantage of the cheap UC tickets the last couple of years. She's hoping that they won't be too much more expensive when they shift their Cincinnati trips to Xavier.

Doesn't SC means something different depending where you are at the time of it's use? If you are in Arizona and say SC it means Southern Cal but if you are in Durham it means that other Carolina.
