Here is my take on the NCAA ticket scarcity. I have been going to this tournament faithfully since about 1980 and I attended several after I graduated from OK State in 1964 before parenting took over for a few years in the late 60's and 70's. Until last year I never had any trouble ordering tx from OK State although in some years I got better seating getting them from an acquaintance. Last year I did not have enough posse points to get tx although I was at least on the list. I relied on a big donor for tx last year who I really did not know well but friends and relatives did. I appreciated him but with the scarcity of tickets this year I do not think I will be able to find them. I do not resent the big donors getting the tickets as without them our program will not grow the way we all want it to. I did go to the last tournament in Philly and really enjoyed it and it was one of my favorite in the approximately 50 I have attended. I am resigned to not going this year
although I do have rooms reserved. I can cancel them and I have not yet scheduled plane tickets and will not unless I can get tickets. At my age travel is not really my friend so in some ways I am relieved but I am sad that I and a lot of faithful fans do not have the opportunity to attend. I will be watching all I can on Flo or ESPN . This is not a plea for tickets but I would still attend if tickets dropped in my lap. In the meantime,
LETS GO POKES!!!.
