I say 35,000...

    • will be at the Rice game. Why? Because of the many season ticket holders that received 2 free tickets to the game. If of those 15,000 that are season ticket buyers let's say about 3 quarters pay cash for them instead of going those installment plans then that's 10,000 free ticket times 2 equals 20,000, plus the original 15 k that's 35,000 fans in the seats.

    Confusing huh?

    • I didn't receive the 2 free tickets. Did you get them with the packet they mailed you or was it separate? My kids have buddies that would love to go with us if that is the case. The more in the stands, the merry.

    • Did I get you right that 3/4 of 15,000 equals 10,000?  If so, it is understandably confusing.

    • Well.

    3/4 of 15,000 is 10,000. So if you add those together it should be 25,000 and not the 20,000 that Mojo listed. I think he was counting on 50% of those free tickets would show.

    I think his thinking was complete, but he wrote it incomplete. Just give the guy an "I" for the class and have him test in a few weeks. Damn jocks always asking for extensions. Ha

    • I'll certainly defer to our resident math professor, but I am almost certain that 10k is 2/3 of 15k, not 3/4.

    • Just pulled out calculator 3/4 of 15k is 11,250. I was wrong, but I was also spit balling. I hope we weren't calculating the return of the space shuttle.

    Almost certain?  Yeah, I'd assign a probability of 1.5 you your certainty.  lol

    • Quantum mechanics theory in the study of semiconductors ruined me.  I am no longer certain of anything.  Except death and taxes.  But I heard Jesus defeated death.  But he did pay his taxes.  So I'm certain about taxes.  But I don't understand tax code either.  I definitely understood quantum mechanics far better.

    • The guys at CERN have a good rep.  But Switzerland might be a bit far to get it fixed.
    I have heard of this place in the lower valley...
    No wait, I think that was a joke.  Cuantos mecanicos...?

    If Mexicans made the CERN thinga magiga they'd need a shite load of metal clothes hangers.    Bwahahahahahaha.

    I know I've used them before when I was younger and in need of cash. It holds up your muffler and tailpipe pretty good.   ;)

    We paid for our tickets and didn't go the installment route. If you went the installment route no free ticky for ju. I also got them separately. If you paid cash for your season tickets then feel free to call them up. You know UTEP ain't too keen in those matters.

    • I did payment plan. I sit in Gold section, so paying for 4 at once is freaking steep.
