l Got my 2015 Football ticket application in the mail yesterday. No increase over last year. Still at $800 for 2 plus contribution it has me wondering. The last few years I have only made it to 2 or 3 home games and have had trouble unloading the unused tickets. Anyway G Bart is offering a $70 rebate on concessions and a discount at the Hawk shop if you order in the next few weeks. Also he had kind of a funny letter in which he said that he understood that last year was below expectations. Still I'm on the fence.

Gonna be a bloodbath on renewals. Mandatory donation policy went into effect in 2005, which was a letdown year. 2006 and 7 were bad and people were getting antsy, but then 2008 came and you could tell we had the makings of a good team. The fact that we haven't had a great team bince 2009 coupled with last year's performance is gonna have people thinking twice with these ridiculous prices. Another huge problem was the way last year ended - that Nebraska game pissed a lot of people off and the team might as well have not gotten off the bus for that bowl game. Had we won those two games, I think the feeling would be a little bit different, but given that we shat the bed hard and looking at our just fucking awful home schedule, I think we'll see some significant net cancellations with Barta then (a) creating new metrics about how great season ticket sales are and (b) scrambling to package our "premier" games of Pitt, Illinois and Minnesota just so the few ESPN games we get aren't shown with over 8,000 empty seats.

If they are gonna jack up prices every time we go to a BCS bowel then Barta needs to man up and drop prics every time we blow ass.
I was gonna buy tickets to the ISUck game last year. The guy wanted $100 for the ticket plus $50 for the "donation fee". I told him to go fuck himself. Direct season sales are one fing, but if the secondary market dries up and season ticket holders can't unload tickets to the shitty games or just games they can't go to its gonna have a huge trickle down effect.

But your ticket is given to you? When? Seff ass-raped me 4 years ago. I'm talking $150 for a $60 face to the wisco game (fake punt game). No one has ever given me a free ticket. I would have. But no one want to sit in the south endzone.....you could easily get your pic taken with the golden girl or Herky or both. Or a celebrity...if one was hanging around.

I don't think anyone in that entire athletic department could close a fucking deal in a whore house with a fist full of hundreds. No buddy can close.

I cooked several fantastic things this weekend, all fried, and then I piled them all on one huge platter. Because that's what white trash sports bar customers want! #serves4 What the hell was in that skillet yesterday.
