live out of state so most of the time out of the news loop but any word on how ticket sales are going this year, in particular opening game vs BYU? May be able to get the day off and make it down. I noticed the tickets on stub hub are a lot more than what I have seen last few years.

I've noticed the prices of tickets on stub hub are a lot more than last year that is for sure so that is a good sign. Got tickets last year for like $5 in the lower bowl for a game.
If I where to guess I know there were alot of Michigan fans who bought Uconn season tix last year because
it was cheaper than paying a secondary market price for just that Mich. game. Them flooding the market on
stubhub with the other games that none of them where going to probably bottomed out the secondary market.
Plus when you start 0-9 alot of people start packing it in. The secondary markets are usually like the stock
market, always changing, in this case depending on the way the season is going.
