Our own Texas Longhorns (who are the defending national champs in case you may have forgotten) will face the Iowa Hawkeyes in this year’s Alamo Bowl being held in nearby San Antonio at the Alamodome on Saturday, December 30 at 3:30pm. Sixty thousand tickets have already been sold with the remaining tickets available from Eddie Vedder‘s favorite ticket vendor, Ticketmaster. They can also be purchased over the telephone at 210/224-9600 or at the Alamodome box office from 10am to 5pm. Ticket prices range from $30 to $50.
