At the Cage Rage on Saturday, students piled in front of TDECU Stadium to gain one of 5,000 ticket vouchers. Only 1,000 of them were lower level seating, and as students raced to get one, tensions arose.

The first students arrived at TDECU Stadium before 8 a.m., and hours later they were still there, waiting for their ticket vouchers to the OU game. | Thomas Dwyer/The Cougar
