Wow that's a great deal. The early to mid 90's was an awful time in Bobcat Football Land as a student. These kids have it so great these days! All of my friends and I would have jumped at that opportunity.

Awesome deal.  I hope they fill a few buses. 

(I also hope they fix the spelling of Orleans!)

I'll see if I can find my student ID.  They'll accept one from 1974, won't they?

THIS. IS. AWESOME.............

Absolutely no excuses whatsoever if you're a student...That's an insane deal... I had to read it twice to make sure I understood it...

$40 for a bus, hotel and game ticket?  You've got to be kidding me....

You'd think, but I can tell you definitively this isn't true.

Pataskala, I thought the same thing when I read the deal. My I.D.is from 1994. Now all I need is to drop 15 lbs and locate a reasonably priced wig and I am in.

I don't want this to turn into some big budget debate, but my curiosity leads me to ask...

After the austerity of the Detroit trip, how is this possible?

Is there a weblink to this offer?  Would be happy to post it on the store website and facebook, but didn't see it on ohiobobcats.com  anywhere?

I really wish they'd offer a cheap bus trip for non-students. I can pay for the hotel and tickets, but the travel is the expensive thing probably keeping me from going.

Ask a student to be their "guest"

Great idea, a 15 hour bus ride is brutal though.

This deal is amazing.  A bus with wi-fi and a nice hotel like the Hilton.  Assuming word got out to the thousands of non-Ozone students who never go to any athletic events, I would not be surprised if some students go on the trip but do not go to the game!

This should have a great turnout, but I fear it will flop, and then make me angry at our students again.

Im going +2 on the bus from Columbus. I am a lurker on here for awhile and attend all OU Football and Basketball games when i can. Im a senior, and Im going with another senior and a recent alum as our guest. I have talked to others who are probably going as well. The other 2 im taking are more casual fans who are attending their first OU Bowl game (I went to the pizza bowl last year). This deal will definitely get more students who are on the fence about going or more casual fans to attend. We are ready for the game and will be loud for the Bobcats! I cant wait to get to New Orleans

This is how it starts.  There will be new fans who begin following with this trip.  It will be worth it, memories for a lifetime.

I'd like to sponsor a student and go as a guest but I'm honestly afraid of what I might do in 30 hours on a bus with current students as my guardians.  Not to mention the NO overnight.  I thought it was all behind me, but....
