If you watch the resale market on Stubhub, etc you will see a ton of tickets become available right before the game.

Great. Thank you. Is Stubhub the largest of the resale sites?

The byutickets.com website has an option where ticket holders can click a link to sell their tickets. Last year I believe it was linked to Stubhub but I just logged on and the sell button connects to seatgeek.com. So I would start there.

I bought season tickets over the weekend off of KSL. GO COUGARS!!!

You might try that as well.

I wanted to but was overruled because they were too expensive. Apparently two kids' braces, a new roof and a new HVAC preempted any fun.

Cougars had a scrimmage today. A couple of thoughts (just my uninformed not-super-smart-at-football opinions):

Slovis was the #1 QB. He throws a nice ball. He's also clearly the least mobile QB on the field and might be a need-to-get-rid-of-the-ball quicker QB. He played a couple series and then was done.
Jake Retzlaff was the #2 QB. He' s faster than Slovis and seemed to play pretty exuberantly. He has an interesting kind of sidearm release but is reasonably accurate with it. I really like his running ability but he also stood in the pocket and fired away in the face of danger a few times. Slovis is going to start barring injury, but I'm bullish on this kid. He had the most reps on the field of any QB based on my unofficial count.
Fennigan was the clear #3. Like Retzlaff, he's faster than Slovis but not as accurate as Retzlaff or Slovis from what I could see.

Aidan Robbins seemed to struggle a bit. He's a stout back but seemed slow and had several miscues. AJ Vongphachanh easily ran him down from behind on a sweep in the opening series. I hope he was just having a rough day and we see more out of him in the future because he really didn't look that great today to my untrained eye.
The kid from Texas, LJ Martin is faster than Robbins and looked better. He's definitely going to get carries this year. Ropati and a few other ball carriers played but I didn't observe anything noteworthy.

As noted above, Vongphachanh looked good on his one and done series. All the potential starting linebackers were one series and done, as were the o-line. It's possible a few of them played more but I wasn't paying super-close attention.

most of that, particularly robbins vs martin, aligns pretty well with the reports from CB. my expectations for Robbins were always fairly low, so none of the reports surprise me, but it has me excited for Martin.

All fun is on backorder awaiting funding.

Why is that?

[All-American]

Why is that?

I’m going with UNLV

Why is that?

AA is sorta right. there are two reasons... 1) i've seen him play multiple times and was underwhelmed. 2) his numbers reflect what i saw on the field. a subpar 4.8 yards per carry at UNLV. For perspective, among the top 100 rushers in the country (Robbins was #39) last year, only 16 averaged fewer ypc than Robbins. Among the top 50, only 4 were lower than that.

that was the long answer. the short answer is that while he was a work horse in terms of number of carries at UNLV, he simply wasn't that good with the ball in his hands.

Darn.

[smokymountainrain]

Darn.

who knows. maybe with a fresh start, new offensive scheme, coaching staff, offensive line, etc - he could break out and get into that 5.5 to 6 ypc range.

What accounts for his ranking in the top 40 then?
