Ole Miss ticket sales for Peach Bowl are strong

(no surprise here)



OXFORD -- Ole Miss has sold 17,000 Peach Bowl tickets in a week, athletics director Ross Bjork said Monday.

No. 9 Ole Miss (9-3) will play No. 5 TCU (11-1) on Dec. 31 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta in the Peach Bowl.

Ole Miss has traditionally been strong in selling tickets for its bowl games. The school sold more than 13,000 for the 2013 Music City Bowl, and sold 23,381 for the BBVA Compass Bowl following the 2012 season.

Those totals, as well as the one Bjork said during a press conference to formally accept an invitation to the Peach Bowl, does not includes tickets sold on the secondary market.

The Peach Bowl has sold out for the last 17 seasons in the 74,228-seat Georgia Dome, and is expected to do so again. Peach Bowl CEO Gary Stokan said Ole Miss fans are a big reason why.

Meanwhile, in Starkville

you can get a bushel of Orange Bowl tickets at the Wallmart with purchases of $25 or more.

I think the bullies are hurting more this year than any in the past. Their Best Year Ever...got so close...then Ole Miss smacked them back down.
