HERE'S SOME VISION 2020 FROM JANUARY: TAKE THE UNSOLD TICKETS, AND GIVE THEM TO THE F**KING selfish TEACHERS IN IDAHO, AND HAVE THEM RAISE MONEY BY SELLING THOSE UNUSED TICKETS AS MEMORABILIA!!  stop complaining...**************************************************************************What I found most interesting about the Rose Bowl was the information in the Lewiston Tribune that the bowl had very low attendance, and that thousands of WSU tickets remained unsold.
Why--if 5 years ago the WSU tickets all sold and many at inflated
prices--did WSU not sell out this time?
