I have 4 lower bowl tickets for the LSU vs OU football game on Saturday, November 29 in Norman, OK. Level L, Section 16, Row 67. Seats are consecutive. Great seats in LSU section. Asking $250 per ticket or best offer. Will sell 2 or 4. Will not sell an odd number of tickets. I can send tickets electronically through LSU Sports App, as tickets are in my account. I received these tickets through LSU ticket office. I accept PayPal or Venmo.

If interested, send an email to wacotiger@hot.rr.com.

re: Cabo trip recs

Just got back from Cabo yesterday, but only played 2 rounds. I would avoid Palmilla. Not very good shape, but interesting holes. One and Only bought18 of the 27 holes, but it keeps going downhill.

I didn't play Quivera this time, but I have in the past and it was fantastic. Great holes and we did see it from our fishing boat on Saturday.

We played Diamante the Dunes Course on Sunday and it was an outstanding track. The final round of the PGA tournament, World Wide Tech Championship, was being played at Diamante on the El Cardonal (Tiger Woods design) course while we were there (right next to us). The Dunes course was in great condition, great holes and the service was top notch. I would definitely recommend it. We had a connnection and only paid $240, but I think the regular price is $500 for the green fee (comfort sations included).

I've played Querencia golf club in the past, but it is a private club Fazio design. Might be hard to get on. Top notch as well. Cabo Real is a nice track, but I haven't played it in several years. We didn't play it this time.

My nephew played El Dorado on Saturday and loved it. I hope this helps. Weather was fantastic (high 84 and low 74) with no clouds and very little wind (although the wind does tend to increase during the afternoon). We also saw a lot of whales from our house near the One & Only in Palmilla and on our fishing trip. Overall - great trip. I hope this helps.

Conversatives are mad at the Governor!
Why do you keep making this a political arguement? I don't care if Landry is a Republican or Democrat. The governor of La does not need to be involved in LSU athletics. He can pick the BOS and I realize they will probably listen to him, but I don't want business men from the BOS picking our coach either. I want a nationally experienced AD finding our head coach. I don't care if the AD or the Coach is a Republican or Democrat and none of the true LSU fans should care about our professional athletic staff's political affiliation.
I think I sounded like a 65+ year Tiger fan. I don't see politics in LSU sports. This is not Republican or Democratic issue, it is an LSU sports issue. Politics have no place in the LSU sports arena.
Look, I grew up in Lake Charles. Everyone had an accent. I wasn't making fun of his accent, I was making fun of his intelligence and his lies. He lied on Wednesday and then double downed on Thursday and still said the same lies, on a national platform. You would have thought someone would have "prepped" him that he was wrong after Wednesday and before the second round on Thursday. Then, he parades the BOS and Verge to a press conference this morning and they have to correct his lies.
I think that Governor "Bobby Boucher" Landry now has one worry - that Scott Woodward will run for Governor and Bobby Boucher doesn't have a buyout and the people of La would not be on the hook for any payment.

If I lived in La now, I would definitely vote for Scott over that clown and I am a life long conservative Republican.
SW's buyout is reported to be $6M. This was caused by Landry. I think he has only been in office for about a year and already cost the people of La $6M. Can (would?) the people of La fire (i.e., impeach) Landry without paying Landry a buyout?

re: Crested Butte - Skiing

Do you want to fly or drive? American and United fly into Gunnison during the Winter and it is only about 30-40 minute drive to CB from there. You can rent a car or take the shuttle. You don't really need a car in CB, as the public transportation is great. You can also fly into Montrose on Southwest (and some other airlines), but the drive is about 2 hours to CB from Montrose.

For driving, we drove from Waco to CB a lot during spring breaks (and in the summer). It is about a 13 hour drive from Waco (or about 12 hours from DFW). We drove to Trinidad, CO the first night, spent the night in a cheap hotel (along with everyone from Waco during spring break) and then drove into CB the next morning. We didn't like driving in the mountains at night during the snow season, which is why we stopped in Trinidad.

When driving from Texas, we took 287 through Texas, then to Raton, New Mexico, then I-25 north to Walsenburg, then Hwy 160 West to Almosa, then Hwy 285 to Saguache and Gunnison, then the short ride to CB. Going on the Southern plains limited the big mountain passes and the traffic.

I hope this helps.
Bump for anyone planning a trip to Napa.

Great family location. Great beginner and advanced skiing. I've been going to Crested Butte since 1986 and all 3 of our kids started skiing there at 4 years of age (starting in 1993). All are now great skiiers. We've been there over 20 times, including in the summer several times.

The lift lines are not as crowded as the I-70 ski resorts, because it is hard to get to CB from Denver.

Great restaurants in a small ski town atmosphere. Mardi Gras is a great time because the crowds are even less. I can send restaurant recommendations if you need them, but here is a start with kids. Secret Stash has great pizza. Slogars is a great "down home" food restaurant (great fried chicken served family style). Gourmet Noodle is a perfect Italian restaurant. Wooden Nickel is also a favorite, although I heard rumors that it may have closed (temporarily closed?). Soupcon is a high end parent's French restaurant. I can provide others if you need them.
