I don't know what your definition of hayseed is, but I can guess. What I detect is an elitist snob attack on millions of hard working people that prefer their way of life over city living. That's all.

The garage in Moraga is perfect for housing marsupials and Vegemite eating souls.

Originally posted by jaydee77 View PostThe athletic/ticket department at St Mary's should be embarrassed. They over sold this game by at least several hundred people. If the fire Marshall in Moraga was on campus he would have shut it down. There was absolutely no where to move. Biggest athletic event in school history and they screwed it up completely. People were paying $400 on stubhub and could not get in. Standing room only an hour and a half before tip off. On the lighter side: down thirteen with a few minutes left the P.A. Guy warns the crowd about storming the court. Gael athletic department not ready to host big events. Just awful
The garage is a joke -- won't go again until or unless I have reserved seat back seats -- WCC needs to take a stance on this crap. Had a great seat at home with my vodka and big screen.

growing up, we split our winter vacations between reno and slc (wasatch snow >>> sierra cement -- but i preferred reno if it meant staying at circus circus, which was a rare treat), and throughout high school every other week i was taking 6 hour bus rides -- school buses are slow -- down i-80 to reno for soccer or marching band, back when EHS was in the big school division. more than half my high school class that went to college went to UNR (yay original millenium scholarship), and the vast majority of them are still there. oh, and both my parents are graduates.
heck, our traditional family christmas dinner is the original pan roast recipe from john ascuaga's nugget, and i was always more excited about the nevada day parade in carson than trick-or-treating for halloween.
i know and love rural nevada. and i know what reno is and what it wants/pretends to be.
and someone from reno calling someone else "hayseeds" and talking about the standards they aspire to? i maintain my original position that there is much hilarity there. and this comes from a kid who had to drive 4 hours to get to a taco bell in high school (elko has had one for 15 years or so now, thanks for asking). reno is getting better tho: brother-in-law works for the engineering company doing downtown beautification. depot distillery is great. branded hearts was awesome, pretty much run by one guy (tastings by appt only). improving craft beer scene. we'll see what the tesla factory does.Last edited by soccerdud; 02-16-2017, 10:30 AM.

While I wasn't there this year, I've been there 3 times, once with an actual seat, twice GA. The key with GA is you've got to get there early to get an actual seat, otherwise its standing room in back. I've got no problem with the GA setup, but I could definitely see an issue if it was seriously oversold. I wasn't there, so can't speak to that part. I love Moraga, it's a delightful area, and a nice drive down to the game.I will thank God for the day and the moment I have. - Jimmy V
