that's why I will continue to go to games, just not everyone, I'll pay
whatever the cost, perhaps this year, I'll get a couple of those champions
club tickets for the LSU game or a club seat for the UF/UGA game, basically,
I'll pay a high price for 2-3 games a year, just not $4000 for 2-3 games a
year and have better overall seats....Just one man's opinion.

Thanks, Stephen, Steve, et al,
I can't really afford season tickets this year, but was thinking about
purchasing some anyway, in part to have a couple extra years longevity
toward upgrading when my children have all finished college. Rather than
make my own mistakes and gain experience the hard way, I'll take the wise
course of action, and learn from your experience. Now, I'll just tell my
wife that the humongous TV I want to buy costs less than the football
tickets, and I'll, sadly, reluctantly, if it makes her happy, give up the
football tix if she'll agree to the TV. Really, though, after going to NFL,
Big East, ACC, and Conference USA games, there's nothing quite like the
feeling of the Swamp for a big SEC game. Sort of like sitting in the first
few rows at the end of a straightaway at NASCAR, at a certain volume I hear
with my entire body, not just my ears.
Oh well, maybe I'll get some big speakers with that new TV.
Cheers,
GatorGene
