It was in response to posters who questioned the sustainability of ticket sales and if people would really pay the high prices. So my post was completely appropriate.

Nope. They gave them up so others could have them. Isnt that what I said? I also dont think I said football staff.

From what I understand there is some pretty big money waiting on tickets. I do know that staff were giving up their extra tickets so others could get tickets. A couple of years ago a guy asked how much it would cost to get tickets. They quoted 6 or 7 figures and he wrote them a check. They found him tickets.

My tickets are on the 50. about 20 rows up on the aisle. cost--240.00 for tickets and 800.00 TM dues for the seat. The rows below me the TM dues are more expensive.

50 yard line seats are expensive no matter what successful program you go to where they are selling out and have a waiting list to get tickets. You dont think people realize what they are spending?

There were over 2000 season ticket requests that couldnt be filled last year. So they are testing the market to see what it will bear. Just like any successful program. Plus with the fact that the tailgate scene has become an event unto its self I will let you worry about our supposed demise. What reality do you speak of?

I already told you what the money was going to be used for. Travel costs do go up considerably when you want to travel on different days, stay longer and add more games to your schedule.

No luck needed. They turned down the request to help with increased travel costs etc. TM is now making all season ticket holders(even end zone) pay TM dues for their seats. They have also set up a separate giving fund for future costs. Not to mention that funding has already been secured to the tune of 900K.

Is it really saving 700k when that is what its going to cost for FCOA?

Whats there to be nervous about? Your fairy tales? You have UND fans question you on the same subjects. Are they nervous also?

Facts? Opinion--may be. Or as you posted earlier---speculation?

Especially since Idaho and NMSU were-are thinking of dropping to FCS? Like the B12 would consider them.?

Touchy touchy. Seem to be a pattern.

Who thinks you would drop football? I dont get where you are coming from on this.

Hey Im just going by what your fans have said about SV on some other venues. Nothing about teams moving up.

You sure spend a lot of time over at BV. I think you really got trolled on the UND wont go D1. There isnt a person I know who didnt think you guys wouldnt be following us. LOL Surprised you havent reminded us AGAIN of your Bakken speculation. Or was that prediction????? FYI your prediction that the BSC going FBS is a joke here also. Just so you know.

Surprised you didnt use your well used line---"you need to read between the lines" " """Seems to me you were one of the scoffers that went along with the bizon troll crowd when I said that UND will get in the Big Sky before we even announced going to DI. The troll crowd was apoplectic with laughter and many Sioux fans were embarrassed that I had such a bold prediction. Stood by that thought even through the long transition and flirtations with Double and the Slummit. Those messages here seem to be forgotten, so just wanted to remind you all of history. This summer there will be a call from P5 schools to change the FBS moveup rules. Don't know the date.""" So you are saying that the rule change youve been espousing numerous times is just speculation and not a prediction? Or does the speculation change to prediction if the speculation comes true?

Same tactic you use every time some one questions your predictions. Just like clock work you deflect by trying to lump them in to the BV crowd and then bring up one of the predictions that you actually got right out of the thousands youve made.. Of course we cant forget the patting yourself on the back all the while. So predictable.

Dont sell SRO until its sold out. If there are sideline seats thay havent been bought through season ticket sales sell them to the walk ups or through single game ticket sales. Again dont sell SRO until its sold out. Make them buy the better tickets.

I thought he was doing a Lampoon piece.

The club team?

Obviously a very bad hire. When an AD goes up the football coach and tells him to back off and not to score anymore(against UND) something just isnt right in his head.

You won a championship in a sport we dont participate in. Dont see the nose rubbing thing??????

None that I know of.
