Finally the Statesman stops contributing to the hype and gets down to some serious game analysis. There's no question that it's going to be the toughest team the Horns have faced in several seasons. That said, the Notre Dame game showed that SC is vulnerable, and they haven't faced anything like our defense all season. And I maintain that the Pac 10 is an even less challenging conference than the Big XII was this year. At any rate, the boys were out practicing on Tuesday evening as I was headed over to the building committee meeting. They're going to have to work really hard these next couple of weeks to be up to the challenge.
In other news, ticket prices are finally starting to fall below $1000. Clearly the market of people who'll shell out a grand for tickets at the top of the endzone has tapped out. But (thank goodness), there are still suites available for a cool $67K.
