Should I go to the UNI game? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

So this is my first year with season tix in over 10 years, so I'm stoked. However, this is Labor Day weekend and we'd like to go RV'ing. My first thought was to find somewhere to camp within a reasonable drive of Provo and just head down for the game. But at this stage in the game, campsites are few and far between. Also, we only have 2 tickets so it would likely be me and one kid or maybe even meeting my BIL there if kids don't want to go.

Pros:
- Nothing like Opening Game
- Didn't make it to LES last year so this will be my first time since the NM game the year before

Cons:
- It's UNI
- It's Labor Day weekend
- The fact that I have season tix means I will get to go 5 more times so maybe it doesn't matter so much.

Cast your votes and/or persuasive arguments one way or the other.

And if you have any destination suggestions that's great too.

Go.

No question.

Stupid question.

Now that you're here, go.

I'm going, I like to watch BYU beat up on crappy teams and watch the fourth string tailback get some carries

So your dilemma is whether you should attend the season opener (or any football game) or go sleep in a car for the weekend?

Snap out of it, man!

Wow. I guess it's true what they say about Utah Mormons.

Take the RV to the game if it makes you feel better.

Okay I have come to my senses. Found a spot at Soldier Creek Campground by Strawberry. A bit of a jaunt to Provo but do-able.

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
