I suppose it is the way of the world, BUT YUCK!!

I will pay my 5 dollars and go watch a damn practice. The way I look at it it is just a teaser anway and it beats the hell out of the RTL>>>>

i know the utad is on an entirely seperate budget than the university pv, but henceforth you will very rarely go to an event on the ut campus w/o getting charged in some way due to the current budget crisis and cut backs. you can count on this.

I heard that. I think the two years of it being free was due to the lack of interest in the program. I guess Hamilton thinks the interest is back and we need to pay for Fulmer's buyout. I thought about going this year to take my daughter if it's held on a weekend where I don't have to go somewhere else. But for $5 just to see glorified practice, I'll see if I can get some $5 tickets for the Ohio game.

Besides the money crisis, I am guessing the UTAD thinks folks will be willing to pay to see what the new head coach has done with his bunch in 20 practices or however many they get.

It was free for only a couple of years.
They used to charge $5 or so.
My inside source would give me free tickets anyway.

Exactly.  What was the UTAD doing for me when there was insufficient interest to get $5 for a ticket sold on the street prior to a game last year?

I am going to a movie that day. May swing by Walmart. Than I will wash my hair. Can't make the game coached by wife cheaters and beaters. Whatever you do, do not turn your back on your wife over there. Also, keep the kids at home. Those eyes on Orgeron would scare the kids more than any horror movie. Than again, that Monte come over might make them laugh more than any cartoon. Enjoy you lap dogs

I heard this morning that the money was going to the academia side of the university.  Don't know the truth of that though.

Gus

Rudedog, SKy and Myself always meet for the O&W, make plans to join us if you can...I know it is a road trip but well worth it...

Hell everybody else should join us for a fun time. My favorite part of the game is fan appreciation for the UT Dance Team.....
