As if Saturday were not going badly enough, I found my basketball season ticket packet in my mailbox. The letter urging people to renew was there, complete with the prices and the statement that there will be 14 home games. The renewal form was there. Absent was any schedule and thus information about those three ooc garbage home games in December. So our esteemed athletic department has developed this strategy: have uninformed fans hand in their money before they become aware that 21% of the product that they are buying consists of complete junk. Classy plan. Guaranteed to promote good will.
