Basketball ticket "slight-of-hand" trick
« on: October 08, 2012, 12:41:16 PM »
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.

I thought they were giving the season ticket holders a discount on those D3 games?

sort of like being  a Brown's season ticket holder  (yeah, yeah  I know) and being required to buy two exhibition games at the same price
I HATE MIAMI.  WATERBOARDING IS NOT TORTURE.  ABORTION IS.

I missed a four-footer for par the other day--THAT DAMN BUSH!
