Michigan Embarrassing Ticket Giveaway
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:08 PM ^
I'm f'ng pissed off regardless if this true or not. We can't fire Davey boy Brandon fast enough.

Going out on a limb here and suggesting that this is fake....There's no way that anyone, even the current athletic department would stoop this low. I know that you will all laugh at that, but come on. They could boost their image by giving tickets away to church groups or kids in low income schools. They have zero incentive to do this. Coke has zero incentive to agree to this partnership. Pretty good odds that this is a bit of trolling from the internet.
With that said, I am a student and will look for it on campus over the next few days...

not sure that makes your point any more believable than if i said i got a text from a snot cousin.
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:19 PM ^
I figured an "in-law" may question my credibility.
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:02 PM ^
Where did your "blood relative" get it from?
If it's true, yeesh. The AD has no idea what it's doing. But I'm still extremely skeptical.
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:20 PM ^
Said the signs were in the Union.
September 22nd, 2014 at 5:53 PM ^
This is correct. Not only is it economically infeasible to undercut four or five days of ticket sales by this "promotion," when tickets on the Athletic Department's website are selling for $70, but contextual clues from the picture suggest this is a joke: (1) the picture appears to be taken on counter at a random party store; (2) a party store would not pull off something like this, as it may be restricted from doing so under any number of theories, which brings me to (3) the advert, likely created with a color printer in Columbus, does not identify who, exactly, is sponsoring this promotion. If Coke was doing it, that would be explicit.

I'm ready to go and I prefer Pepsi.
September 22nd, 2014 at 5:45 PM ^
If DB would allow me to bring in a water bottle, so I could watch the game without inconvenience, I may attend.
September 22nd, 2014 at 5:51 PM ^
if I'm allowed to then bring the two 2-liter Cokes in with me on Saturday. Otherwise, not as good a deal as it appears.
/s

This is as bad or worse than it was for App St or MIami,Oh. This is the freaking B1G opener, Brown Jug game - just wow.
As bad as the season has gone I fully expect UM tp win because, well, Minnesota is even worse.
If the unimaginable happens one may actually get a free ticket for one coke.
Anyone know what tickets are going for the Slippery Rock game? Who coaches them? I'm kidding!!
September 22nd, 2014 at 5:52 PM ^
this thread should be taken down.
because it makes me unbelievably sad
September 22nd, 2014 at 8:33 PM ^
I checked the Pierpont UGo's a little while ago and they had given them all away already. I can confirm it is real though.
September 22nd, 2014 at 5:54 PM ^
September 22nd, 2014 at 5:56 PM ^
These eyes.......cry every night......for you
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:03 PM ^
We are Eastern Michigan.
Literally.
The only way Eastern stays FBS eligible is by giving away thousands of tickets to Pepsi, their main (only?) sponsor.

Where did this ad come from and has anyone else seen it? Usually when discounts occur, there is a blizzard of e-mails to seaon ticket holders and alumni. With the ongoing disaster I'm not calling shenanigans but it is odd to have this out so fast - Wednesday or Thursday sure, but this seems really fast.
If it is a legitimate athletic department partnered give away then it shows it is world war Z level of panic in the bunker.
I hope it is a prank!
September 22nd, 2014 at 8:35 PM ^
Definitely not a prank though. I just checked the Pierpont UGo's intending to get some but they had given them all away

Go to either UGo's on campus and you'll see. Maybe tomorrow they'll be giving them out with a bag of Combos?
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:28 PM ^
The semiotic meaning of that sign is that the Brandon/Hoke era is circling the drain.
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:52 PM ^
Two free tickets with the purchase of tide-e-bowl cleanser.
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:30 PM ^
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:38 PM ^
So... Face value: Approximately three-fitty?
Yeesh.
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:42 PM ^
Please take this crap thread down. I try to avoid sounding judgmental. But this is so fake
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:56 PM ^
but its not. so there is that.
September 22nd, 2014 at 7:36 PM ^
Please provide proof, East U. I've not seen proof of this claim yet and can't find anything to back it up
September 22nd, 2014 at 7:55 PM ^
like this?
September 22nd, 2014 at 8:02 PM ^
You might be right, young man. I didn't want to believe it, but I'm glad you're not just making this up. it doesn't make you any nicer of a person, judging by your posts, but I'll certainly concede your correctness, and I'm looking at the two great kids I've raised with renewed thankfulness.
September 22nd, 2014 at 8:12 PM ^
My parents taught me to have some trust in people, which I hope you teach your kids (unlike your parents). You clearly just jumped to conclusions. I understand waiting for proof so maybe you didn't buy it but I believe you said "this is so fake" with some certainty.
September 22nd, 2014 at 8:52 PM ^
Of course I was certain. I formed a conclusion, and waited for proof, you are correct there. Some day you might understand the value of that. Especially with you being so innocent, trusting and respectful.
September 22nd, 2014 at 8:55 PM ^
He was trusting of a good friend (or relative, I don't care to re-look). If you can't trust relatives and good friends, you must live a sad life.
September 22nd, 2014 at 9:01 PM ^
Right! I don't trust too many people more than said person. I even asked if it was true. Some people don't want to see ho bad it has become. Can't blame them.
September 22nd, 2014 at 11:32 PM ^
are you seriously suggesting you were being more respectful? You weren't--by a longshot.
September 22nd, 2014 at 11:38 PM ^
I hope you are never a juror. You formed your decision before proof? That just seems...dumb. All I did was provide the information I had (from a source I trusted).
September 22nd, 2014 at 10:34 PM ^
Classy,
The guy broke a story on the blog, told the truth. You wrongly accused him of lying. And when's it's proven he was telling the truth, you don't apologize and continue to attack him.
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:46 PM ^
Is this whe "Wow Experience" that Dave Brandon was talking about?
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:46 PM ^
If we lose to Minn at home, they will have to put up a curtian half across the stadium like the old Pistons in the Silverdome.
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:49 PM ^
If we lose to Minny it will cost a Mr. Pibb and an expired Slim Jim.

Free - you just have to get the key from the attendant to peel them off the roll in the bathroom...

1 Credit offered for attendance.
Double the Honors points if it rains and you stay (do they still have Honors points?).
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:52 PM ^
September 22nd, 2014 at 6:53 PM ^
Because they've had no good reason to until now?
