The Wizard of Odds, which should always be your first stop for Internet national college football news, leads us today to an interesting item out of Oklahoma.
The Wiz shares the good work of the folks at the Oklahoman newspaper in Oklahoma City. They have reported that Oklahoma State won't be sell individual tickets to the Nov. 29 Oklahoma-Oklahoma State game in Stillwater beyond the normal 5,000 tickets allotted to the Sooner fans.
To gain admission to that game, you'll need to buy a season ticket to see the Cowboys. The plan copies the one introduced last year by Iowa State Athletics Director Jamie Pollard for its game against Iowa, which helped increased ISU season-ticket sales by almost 20 percent.
"When you saw what happened there, you think, 'Maybe that's something we should consider,' " Oklahoma State AD Mike Holder told the Oklahoman.
This should play about as well with Sooner fans as it did with Hawkeye supporters. The ultimate result will be the same, too. Oklahoma State will have a lot more tickets sold for its home games against Houston, Missouri State, Troy, and yes, Iowa State, than it normally would.
