Re: Tickets available for Vermont game
Someone has already claimed the tickets! Wish I could have made it; it looks winnable to me. But my daughters are planning a 60th birthday party for me and my wife on that day.

It's hard to say how this game will translate to the regular season. Jordan Hare looks awfully young and needs to develop more physically.
