I live in Michigan and will head out to Provo in mid-November to further indoctrinate one of the TTownPuma cubs to be a life-long Cougar fan. A visit like this has become a family tradition of sorts, which I will continue with him (and with the remaining two TTownPuma cubs that will still be in the den after he leaves for school/mission in due time thereafter).

Specifically, with the oldest two TTownPuma cubs, I planned a quick BYU "Ferris Buller's Day Off" skip school adventure their respective Senior years of high school. Now it is cub number three's turn. The tradition consists of hanging out with my sister and their cousins in Utah County, eating lots of guy food, having a campus tour, and hitting up a football game in LES. For cub two and now three we love to spend time with the current/oldest TTownPuma cub that is currently enrolled at BYU (cub number two is on his mission in Flagstaff Arizona) as part of that tradition.

This time we picked the week(end) of the Idaho and Kansas games so that I could take advantage of the rare opportunity to be there for a basketball and football game and to really baptize him deep in the blue kool-ade. Well, truth be told, he has been swimming in blue kool-ade his whole life in the TTownPuma den, but this will help even more (for a few years we struggled with cub three being indoctrinated by a Ute missionary who served in our ward and who gave him Ute gear - but we seem to have rooted that all out of him now).

I am hoping to find tickets as close to the student section as possible so that it will facilitate our current student maybe even pulling cub three into the ROC. What section(s) would be the best for that respectively at LES and the Marriott Center or is pulling him in not helped by sitting close?

Unfortunately, like many Cougar fans, I tend to be too stingy for my own good and am always on the hunt for the best deal. I'll pay the price to get us in regardless, but I am looking for the best way to accomplish my goals of getting close to the student section and paying the least amount possible, with the overriding goal of just getting into the games. The current plan is to buy tickets on-line ASAP from a ticket service in the next few days. That said, usually I buy tickets on game day and find that gives me the best price, but I don't want to be there and miss the game because I delayed buying the tickets. Any thoughts on how to do this best are welcome.

Go Cougars, Go Buckeyes, Go Rockets!!
