I'm making assumptions with respect to this specific case since all the facts are not yet known. My assumptions are based on the NY Times expose from over the weekend, which detailed the FBI's practice of identifying potential "terrorists" and convincing them to commit specific terrorist attacks against specific targets with specific weapons supplied by the FBI, in addition to the documented FBI tactic of sending indigent ex-cons to mosques to convince people to become terrorists (and in so doing alienating the very communities that have been the most helpful in combatting domestic terrorism). That is, the FBI identifies a potential terrorist, conceives of a terrorist plot, convinces the potential terrorist that it's a good idea to carry out this plot, and provides all of the weapons and logistics. Frankly, it seems to me that the FBI is simply fishing for people that are stupid and crazy that they can convince to become terrorists. |

You do realize that this plot had no chance, at any stage from inception to arrest, of succeeding, right? You do realize that all of the planning and logistics was conceived of and performed by the FBI, right? I urge you to read the NY Times expose on these FBI busts from the past weekend. The irony here is that the fear (as exemplified by your commnets) which result from these attempted attacks are not the product of terrorist organizations who have as their agenda spreading fear, but rather the product of our government and tax dollars. Awesome. |
| 3 weeks 1 day ago | "Terrorists" |
Agree completely, when the FBI agents come up with the idea and all of the logistics, and convince a bunch of idiots that it's the right thing to do... a very reasonable conclusion is that, but for the FBI involvement, these attempted attacks would not occur. Anyway, I'm more interested in the fact that most commentators and observers (including this CNN piece) do not refer to this attempted bombing as an attempted "terrorist" attack. Same can be said about the Norway shooter, whose massacre of 75+ people was not characterized that often as an act of terrorism, but mental instability. |

Have a hard time believing he'd take a one-year stint at UConn given their post-season ban next year. |

If you have a 3d TV and espn3d, tonight is (finally) Michigan's 3d debut. Beat Ohio! |

Well now I know for next time. Just bought terrace level seats, better than risking with scalpers since I'm traveling from VA. I was quick to buy my plane tix yesterday in fear of all the Hokies out here taking all the seats, but screwed up with the game tix. |
| 24 weeks 3 days ago | Wow... |
I finally got through to them on the phone, and they've confirmed that they sold out everything other than the terrace level. In less than two hours. This sucks. I might just see what I can get off of stubhub. When I went to the Rose Bowl in '07, I recall that there were plenty of empty seats and it was easy to get tickets the day of, despite the game essentially being a home game for USC. |
| 24 weeks 3 days ago | Anybody else having problems purchasing tix... |
on mgoblue.com it's only allowing selection of terrace level, and on the phone it just goes to a busy signal. anybody else having these issues? should I assume that all other levels are sold out already?!? |

with the win. If you look at the replay, it seems that it took a second or two before the clock started ticking when the play started. |
