Don't know why, but I've been seeing a lot of tickets up for sale too.

actually only part of them aren't going because of the black qb...the rest aren't going because of the white linebacker


The white linebackers are much more offensive, imo.

I know at least 30 people making the trip and not one of them has waivered. We request tickets for every road game but we usually don't make all of them. In the end, I think Seattle will be flooded with purple and gold (12-13K).

some people are just having to make a choice i guess .. you could go to two road SEC games for what this will cost .. washington was 0-12 last season and their stadium is a urinal that is falling apart .. ole miss and alabama on the other hand are obviously far more attractive and driveable ..

Anyone expecting 20K in the first place was ridiculous. 12-13 K all the way across the country would be fantastic IMO.

I'd be happy with 10k. It will probably be less.

Regardless of Washington's record last year, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to watch LSU play a Pac-10 team on the West Coast. I enjoy visiting different venues throughout the nation and this will likely be my only visit to UW. I plan on making this game and Ole Miss, and possibly one more depending on various factors.

In the end, 10K might be more realistic. I agree that 13K is probably a bit on the high end. From all the numbers I've seen, I expect there to be at least 10K LSU fans in the stadium at kickoff.

same with me, stro .. i went to tucson in '03 for the arizona game and enjoyed it .. seattle's a pretty cool city too .. hell, it's labor day weekend too so might as well make a little trip out of it ... looking forward to tailgating on a boat .. that should be interesting .. the only road trip i will skip this year is going to be starkville ..

Don't get caught up in who is going and not going. When its all said and done, there will be a lot of LSU fans in the stands including myself.

Yeah, I typically make more road games but I'm moving to Houston in a few weeks, starting a new job, have a new baby, etc. It will be challenging enough just to make all the home games, not to mention a couple of road trips. Seattle is one of the few major cities in the U.S that I've never been to and thought what better reason would come along?
