About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.About this Entry

One additional factor that should be considered in determining points is the percentage of games where the ticket is actually used. At each of the early season games, a number of the good seats are always empty!
If a seat goes unused because a season ticket holder (1) doesn't go to the game, (2) doesn't give the ticket away to a friend to go to the game, or (3) doesn't post it for sale on the Ticket Exchange, then that person should lose points.
There could therefore be built into the point system an incentive to posting tickets online. They could say that if you post your ticket online for sale, even if it doesn't sell, you don't lose points. But if you don't use the ticket yourself, it isn't used by someone else, and you didn't post it for sale, then you lose a point, with one point being assigned for each game on the schedule.
Not a bad idea, however would need to have one or two allowances each season that don't count against a person. I personally have had issues come up late in the day (i.e. get sick) that preculded me from attending, and were too late to post for sale or find someone to give the tickets to. Not really anyone's fault under some conditions...just life happens on occasion.
It's Dan's fault for bring in Ross Bjork and made him Sr. Assoc. Athletic Director!!! All Ross wanted was increase, increase prices. He's not from here!
