Fair point, but there was a season whilst I was at BYU that I was tempted

to not get the All Sports Pass. I think it was 2008. Would have to check.

I still got it, mind you, but I don't we can attribute the "lack" of student interest solely to video games.

At least, I pray that's not the case.

They use homework as an excuse, but anyone with a half of a brain

Most guys I know at BYU don't even own video games, much less play them (myself

I didn't say the rest of college has to keep you from sports games, just that

You're /way/ too young to be pulling the "Back in my day" card, Acorn.

Thanks for the compliment. My brain agrees with you and still tells me I am 20.

I've got toddlers at home and /I/ don't deserve an iPhone.

Is he more of a ComicCon kind of guy?

JackStack

He's probably more of an Xbox or study extra hard on his engineering class

Too bad my RM single son couldn't be admitted to BYU. The tickets

Tell that to the admin - we couldn't sell out Texas last year... TEXAS!!!!!

OC Coug

7/27/14 9:40pm

That game wasn't sold out, wow?

Zak

7/27/14 9:43pm

They jacked the prices up quite a bit on those tickets, didn't they?

Dr T-bone

7/27/14 9:45pm

Single tickets were $90 IIRC

Bonoman

7/27/14 10:04pm

Is that higher or lower than usual?

Dr T-bone

7/27/14 10:08pm

MORE THAN double...

AntiSNOT

7/27/14 10:10pm

I guess it depends on where you sit, but in general I would say for an average..

Bonoman

7/27/14 10:14pm

That's cause they weren't worthy of us, as we quickly demonstrated on the field.

ldssdl

7/27/14 9:49pm

Really. Pretty sure that the game was sold out.

PolarisPrime

7/27/14 9:53pm

Nope. According to Phil Steele, it was 273 tix short. Utah was a sellout though.

Ummmmm......

PolarisPrime

7/27/14 10:04pm

BYUcougars.com shows the same as what Steele has...273 tickets short.

rainorsnow

7/27/14 10:09pm

Yes. That is exactly the point.

I represent 4 of those tickets

7/27/14 11:54pm

Can't blame you... with your two kids and all. Sorry you missed the beat down.

Polecat

7/28/14 12:00am

Wait, wasn't there a weather delay? Sounds like some season ticket

You do remember that Texas was right after Virginia, right?

If you had actually paid attention in teh VA game last year

PolarisPrime

That's because of our ESPN deal

Stanford does it somehow

Harrison0Yfan

7/28/14 12:06am

Stanford stadium seats just over 50,000 and they are a top 10 program right now

BYUheaven

7/28/14 7:21am

And that's why the stadium should never expand, ever

mosterlow

7/28/14 8:41am

Let's not forget that Stanford is all in a very densely populated area

califcougar

7/28/14 12:12pm

Yep. I've heard our chances of selling out would be better with a trax station

Harrison0Yfan

7/28/14 6:33pm

I don't understand it

Rusty Shackleford

7/28/14 12:46am

Yeah, those seats they have now are just so awful.

All our kids got tickets while there, but most our nieces/nephews did not

I don't buy the students being to serious about there studies

califcougar

7/28/14 12:17pm

Or the home schedule is so lame they don't want to go?

ebv

7/28/14 12:21pm

Have you seen the WAC/MWC schedules of the past? No excuse.
