      I think your timing is off a tad. That used to be some good smack. Not so much anymore.

          Sadly, I agree. Utah's sold out and their ticket prices are escalating. They're moving towards big brother status at a rapid pace.

            There should be a reprieve next year. Although if one gets comfortable watching games on TV, one might decide not to spend the money again for the live action.

            At least that might be true for old farts.

              That makes sense considering the coach feels the same way.

                If only their fans would start acting like it.

                  You'll price out the riff raff eventually, right? At least that's what I keep saying every year when I go to Lagoon.

                    Kudos to the ticket office from me this year. I have had 3 seats together and 1 on its own for several years, and this season they came through with a move on my single seat so all 4 are now together.

                      How did you come to have 3 together and 1 alone?

                        I originally had only two. Then a few years later I added a third. Then a couple more seasons and I added a fourth. At the time, I also requested that we keep the same seats, if possible, because I really like where we sit. So I guess it was my fault that they gave me my same 3 seats and a fourth one row back and about 9 seats over. I called them to ask about it, and they offered to move all the seats so we could have 4 together (the groups around us are set as well) or I could request a change for next season. It took a couple more years, but this season they were able to move our fourth seat over.

                            Someone give me a good preview of the season and a review of the two deep and big games. I am completely out of it right now, but I'm ready to jump back in.

                              Bold statement, Riley. I like the way this guy thinks!

                              To be honest with you, the quarterback does play a vital role in the success of the team, so I don't shy away from that,"

                                While I suppose that Riley being good would make for a good season and is nice and all, I'd prefer that he have a good chance to be a great player.
