Ticket prices are really going to fluctuate.

Well, it will no doubt be stable in one currency, but which?

college bowl game sponsorship = antithesis of secretive, anarchic operation. 

Or maybe I'm wrong about that.

An article by Peter Svensson of the Associated Press in today's The Record states in part  "The Bitcoin digital currency system is in danger of losing its credibility as an independent payment system because of the growing power of a group that runs some of the computors behind it."
Very interesting article,but I can't get it to link.

Maybe by Bowl time there will be a different sponser.

Not surprising. BitCoin has always been linked to organized crime outfits.

Well for a bowl in a city named after a city in Russia this seems somehow oddly appropriate.  And, the BitCoin St. Petersburg Bowl does sound a lot better than the Organized Crime St. Petersburg Bowl.

Apparently the modest but raucous crowd at the Hilliard Beef O Bradys was not enough to convince them this was a worthwhile investment.
