Another day, another mobile operator wanting to send its customers to football games. Unlike Sprint's contest for Super Bowl tickets, Alltel Wireless (soon to be part of Verizon Wireless) is running a text-to-win campaign that sends the winners – and their Circle of Friends - to any regular season college or pro football game.

The five grand-prize winners don't just get to take their friends to the game, though. They'll be traveling in a private jet, having a pre-game tailgate party with football legend Barry Sanders, pocketing some cash to spend on mementos and then using their new Moto Q 9c to call and brag to their friends who weren't important enough to make it into their Alltel Circle.

Starting August 30, Alltel customers can text "JET" to 57533 to enter the Alltel Gridiron Getaway.
