A cousin of mine has (I think) four season tix. I saw him at the UCLA game year before last when I stopped by his tailgate to visit and catch up with him. He told me he had quit going into games and just lets his sons and their friends use the tickets because he’s gotten to where he really just enjoys hanging at the tailgate, drinking, and cooking for everyone then watching the game from there. He had recently lost his wife and forever game partner to cancer so I’m sure that has something to do with it.

The Les miles years were stellar fan wise. I remember tailgating for a game vs Arkansas and hearing the roar of the crowd as the honey badger returned a punt. It was chilling and a very rememberable moment.

A lot of people are too lazy to have fun. Sometimes fun takes work. This is why retirement isnt for everyone

Old Tiger fan has a pair of season tickets for many years. He and wife never missed a game. Wife dies. Next game ole man is faithfully in his seat. His wifes seat is empty. A fan behind him asks Where is the wife. Ole man says oh she died. Same fan says. Sorry to hear that,but you couldn’t find someone to use the ticket. He responds” No they are all at the funeral.

I know thats an old one.
