Ticket Prices

Getting tickets to a major league baseball game can be quite expensive. This is especially true if you want to see a team play that is a perennial powerhouse. When it comes down to it getting tickets is all about what team you want to see.

For example, if you want to go to a Pittsburgh Pirates game you can probably do so any day of the week. Sure, there are games that get sold out thanks to special promotions. But for the most part you can get into any Pirates game for the low price of $9 or so.

But on the other end of things you may want to go to a New York Yankees game. Simply put you cannot do this by walking up to the box office. Every Yankees game is sold out, and if you want tickets you are going to have to do a bit more work. Not to mention the fact that you will have to pay a lot more money. This is the price you must pay if you want to go to a Yankees game.
There are many teams that fall into both categories. If you are lucky you cheer for a team that is easy to see, and will not break the bank.

Overall, ticket prices are on the rise every year all over the league. As long as there are baseball fans to pay the prices, the tickets will always increase slightly each year. But it is all worth while to see your favorite team play.

Single Wing Football at the College Level Today

Have you ever heard "I don't see your offense being run in the pros or college"?

Well if you look hard enough you do see it lots of places. They may not call it the Single Wing, but it's part of nearly every football game you watch on Saturdays and even a few on Sundays. Mind you there are lots of fundamentals that do not change at any level of football, but youth football is not High School football, High School football is not College football and College football is not the pros. Each has its own different set of goals and limitations and should never be compared as equals.

While Mr. Tebow may look like your typical spread passing attack QB, he is just an old fashioned Single Wing Tailback. Look at his power off tackle runs, jump pass and isos. He has 16 rushing touchdowns so far this season and he still has 3-4 games left to play. He is a prototypical Single Wing tailback and he is running many staples from the olds Single Wing playbooks.

Is his coach some old codger from the 40s or 50s, the heydays of Single Wing football? No Urban Meyer is considered to be the offensive guru of this decade. Back to the future so they say, whats old is new.

Tim Tebow may very well be this years Heisman Trophy winner, with over 20 rushing touchdowns and 20 passing touchdowns, an NCSS first.

Here are a few clips from that offensive guru Urban Meyer:
