Would like to buy an away ticket for the WSU game on November 3rd. But after I work my way through (what seems like) 50 different links, I finally get to the Away Football Tickets and...........the page is blank.
So are tickets on sale for away games yet? If not, anyone have a guesstimated date when they will be?

Today my employer had their annual Memorial Day event to recognize veterans and welcome in new veteran interns
by SeaTacUte
2013-05-22 19:12:00
Each year they have a guest speaker and this year it was Mike Flood who is the VP of Community Relations for the Seattle Seahawks.
An impressive guy with a military background - he flew both fixed and rotary wing aircraft in the Coast Guard. Gave a great speech and showed a short film of how the Seahawk organization supports veterans and their families. Of course, intermixed in the film were clips of famous Seahawks plays.
All that film did for me was make me want football to start RIGHT DAMN NOW !!

WSU. I don't know if I've ever seen a schedule like this.
Starting off the season at Auburn followed by at USC. Plus playing at Oregon and at the UW (in their new stadium) for the Apple Cup. They only have a total of 6 home games. Lastly, except for one instance, they never have two home games in a row. Makes our schedule look like a cake walk.
Going to be a rough year for Leach's second season, that's for sure. Here's their full schedule:
@Auburn
@USC
Southern Utah
Idaho Vandals
Stanford
@ Cal
Oregon St.
@ Oregon
Arizona State
@ Arizona
UTES (Nov. 23)

Bar Tender Dating
by SeaTacUte
2013-05-11 01:50:02
OK - so I went to a new place today and the bartenderess was smoking hot. At least for my tastes (keeping in mind that I'm about as old as Methuselah).
She was sweet and attractive mature woman and we chatted a lot. We seemed to hit it off pretty well. Now I'm a professional bar fly and know when bar tenders are working it for tips. But I don't think this was the case. She seemed legitimately interested. But bartenders can do that (again) just for tips.
I've never, ever asked a bartenderess out for a date, knowing they are hit on 20,000 times a night and do what they need to for tips. So asking my fellow Utes - what should I do here? Walk on by or work it some more?

...and it doesn't take a brain surgeon to presume those poor girls were most likely kept as sex slaves.
If that's the case and these 3 brothers are convicted, what's a legitimate punishment for something like that?
Life in prison doesn't work for me. I don't want to see someone who would do a crime that horrific fed, clothed, provided medical care, recreational opportunities, HDTV - the whole nine yards on the tax payers nickle.
On the other hand, I don't think a death sentence works either. That's too easy.
For the life of me I can't figure out what an appropriate punishment would be. Castration? Dumped off on a deserted island? Used as breeding practice for gorillas?
