re: Map and Flag for Masters

Any idea if they were mainly cracking down on resale of the weekly badges or the daily tickets and practice round tickets as well?

I got Wednesday tickets this year and would like to try to potentially buy Monday as well on the resale market, but don’t know if I want to risk trouble with ANGC.
I’m always interested in buy/sell/trading football game ticket stubs. I focus more on bowl games, but interested in all tickets.
I used this a few months back and the process is very easy. Took about 10 minutes on the phone with a Marriott rep.
There are always several for sale on eBay for around $20 each. Worth it if you have a few hours to kill.

re: Airline CCs for low spenders

Given the low amount of travel, you should also consider the Barclaycard Arrival. It offers 2 points per dollar and they are redeemable towards any type of travel. The bonus is currently 40,000 points after $1,000 spend. They also give you 10% of your redeemed points back. So after spending $1,000 on the card, you would have enough points for $450 in travel.

If all he has is Delta miles, and there are hardly any Delta flights from his airport then it would matter.

Where do you live and what airline has the best flight selection for that city? That would be a big factor for me.

If Delta, the card you mentioned is probably a good choice. If United, Chase runs a good offer periodically of 50,000 mile signup bonus for the United Explorer card. If American, Citi is currently running a 50,000 mile bonus for that card. If Southwest, Chase has an offer now for their Southwest card with a 50,000 point sigup bonus after $2000-2500 spend in the first three months.

I would also look in to cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or American Express Gold that give you points that can be transferred to multiple airline partners. I'm partial to the Chase Sapphire preferred myself since United and Southwest are transfer partners and I live in Houston which is a United hub.

AP Poll just came out with:
1. LSU
2. Bama
3. OSU


I know it isn't included, but this should give us an idea of how the Harris poll might change...
Bought 8 last night, just sold 2 for what I paid for all 8. :nana:

Going to hold the rest until I see the next lsumatt thread and see how OSU's chances look.
NC State is crushing Clemson 24-3. Getting another 1 loss team out of the mix would be nice for OSU's chances.
Given the BCS computers' love for the Big 12 this year, if OSU beats OU on Decmeber 3, they still have a great shot to go to the MNC, right?

If they knock out Oklahoma and we take care of Arkansas, that would leave Alabama and Oregon left. If a decent amount of the voters decided they didn't want a rematch, OSU looks like they would probably make it to New Orleans.
"Certainly, there have, ah, been some unforeseen eventualities that have led us to do the things that we had not necessarily planned to do. Any happenstances that happen to occur are of a nature that we can and will be open to adjusting to. I feel good about this team. This team is going to have the want to compete for championships, I can promise you that."
Just strictly from a points standpoint, it takes less nights with Marriott to get a free night than with Hilton. There is a chart I've seen somewhere and it takes as few as 10 nights with Marriott, can't remember the number for Hilton.

The websites below are the ones I use. They are a good source to find all of the Black Friday ads in one place. They are also quick to update as stores release their ads.

Using your predictions and some basic statistics, the Tigers have a 1.39% chance of running the table. Of course, we'll probably face Florida again in the SECCG, which would drop our chances of being undefeated to 0.35%.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S A CHANCE!

So far, it's been unanimous that LSU will have a 100 yard rusher.

Through 3 games, Charles Scott and Keiland Williams are tied for the team lead with 164 yards.

The highest single game total so far was KW against Vanderbilt with 72 yards.

I think we spread the ball around and no one rushes for 100 on Saturday.

re: Old LSU Logo Help . . . . . .

I got a copy of it. Let me know your email.
I'm looking to get my Macbook Pro laser etched with the old LSU logo w/ Mike wearing the beanie, but I can't find a good enough picture anywhere. Can anyone help me out? Color or black & white, black & white preferred. Thanks!
