A little domain squatting never hurt anyone

| This is the only good thing about Florida State football. Also, this picture has nothing to do with domaining. |
So after I scalped a few Music City Bowl tickets on eBay for a tidy profit, I got the urge to do a whois search for Music City Bowl-related domain names. Of course, the .com was taken by the bowl game itself, along with the .org. But not the .net domain.
Five minutes later, I was the proud owner of MusicCityBowl.net.
While Florida State plays Kentucky on December 31, I’ll be scheming ways to make money from this.
At first I considered just cash parking it, but then I realized that would only work if it was the .com, and then I called myself bad names and made myself cry. Professional millionaires are hard on themselves.
Flipping a .net for a second-tier bowl game was probably out of the question (though I might try it).
So, I’ve decided that, barring any amazing cash offers for the domain (or legal action against me), I hope to have MusicCityBowl.net developed in time for next year’s ticket rush.
Oh, yeah, my pick for the game: Kentucky 31, Florida State 20
