- Where's the advertising? If I ever see a commercial, it's the same one that was being played at the beginning of the season. Not very effective. I think Chris Keeney needs to "play for pride" here.
- Lastly, streamers. Obviously fans aren't coming because they're offended by the streamers.

These are good points, well except the last one. Of course the humor in the remark makes the post.

I can't make the crew game, but I am going to give my tickets away to someone who will probably get hooked.

Hopefully, this was a one time low.

I wasn't thinking and told my brother that I'd go to the BYU vs. Boston College game on Sept. 3rd. I don't have tickets for RSL vs. New England for that night, but I was wondering if I could make both games. I had better not push my luck and just go to the BYU game. New England will be the only team I haven't seen in person. I wonder if the BYU game will hurt attendance. It is conceivable that someone could go to the BYU game from 1:30 to 4:30 and then make the RSL game at 7:30.

Just for the record, I'll be rooting for Boston College.

That's a great point about media attention. There was a lot of "buzz" about RSL back in April and May. It's really fallen off. Utah and SLC are events town. If something "big" is happening they turn out. What needs to be done to get RSL back on the "big" side of the media.

I am attending both the Aggie home opener and the RSL game that day. You may have more problems with traffic coming up from Provo after a game with two teams that air it out.

I'm hoping to make the tailgate. USU is playing a triple option team, so it should go quickly.

Just a little reminder: Everybody in the whole state's great-great-great grandfather founded it! C'mom, this is still Utah!

Lol, hey, he's not my great-great-great-grandfather!!

Yeah, that's what you think! Fifty plus wives spread over 150 years worth of posterity, that's a lot of freaking people. (feel the sarcasm people). That is, unless you are one of those darn Cali transplants (again with the sarcasm; put the gun away now).
