Band Not Going To Dallas
Dave Brandon creates the future: the tag: the picture
The Michigan Marching Band has been informed that they won't be going to Dallas, presumably because it puts a dent in the pile of money Michigan will get by selling a home game. Sorry, people who bought tickets. Yes, seats for the band are in the contract. Yes, you've been duped. No, you can't get a refund unless you pay $500 to get on the refund waiting list.
Think about that as you look at a home schedule on which Michigan State is the featured attraction. Dave Brandon couldn't even get the Nebraska game to not be on the road in the same year OSU and ND are. He sold a home game to Jerry Jones because it sounded like a lot of money, then we found out that because the minimum ticket price was $125 he could have scheduled a home and home instead. Jerry Jones is probably laughing his ass off somewhere.
Anyway. I think we should start a Dave Brandon for Governor fund. I'd vote for him! With no ulterior motives whatsoever! #DB4MGov!
Ohio had to have donations to send their band to away games before. I don't remember which games in particular but I remember hearing about them having to ask for donations to send their band.
Thing is: THIS IS RIDICULOUS
Could we, at mgoblog, make a kickstarter account to fund the Michigan Marching Band trip to Texas? I was just thinking... it's $400,000 that we could raise. We could somehow attach it to the site, so people who don't regularly visit MGoBlog would see that MGoBlog is spearheading this effort to send the band and it could bring a lot of new people to the site, as well as do something good for the team we love.
Let me know what you think!
