Just remember that gate A is the STATE FARM INSURANCE GATE---We pay a damn good amount for the naming right and I think that the gate A deal was just an oversight according to Scott Farmer---He said that with the different places to get the tickets there should be no problem with lines----I begged him to have a Half and half or 50/50 split----We are just ______ing away money!!!!

OK-#1---The State Farm Gate --Every year State Farm Agents (NOT ALL) give about 50K to the Athletic dept. to call gate A --The SF Gate---One of the things besides the sign at/on the gate that was agreed on is to call the gate on all publications the SF Gate---#2--there was a concern that long lines for tickets/entry could take place --# 3 Baseball has a raffle where half of the money goes to the program and the other half to the lucky person whose # is drawn---At times the A D D acts up a bit but I think you can get this !!!!!!!

I'm guessing seating will be first come first serve.

Or they gonna split up on to each side of the field also?

Coach Hudspeth is working on improving so many aspects of the program, big and seemingly small.

Thanks for keeping us informed JP. Hud really does have things going full speed ahead from the sound of things.
