Signing of the Stars Ticket Scam Update
I just wanted to personally thank Maizen and GoBlue2323 and the rest of you that captured screen shots of the SoS ticket orders and sent them to me. They were easily identified and the barcodes were deactivated and reissued to Wolverine fans. By the way, it wasn't as bad as they tried to make it sound. Nobody was able to get thousands of tickets. It was only one ore two users for a couple of hundred tickets. The Athletic Ticket Office took care of it this morning. So, to the bad guys.....good plan....horrible OPSEC! We have the last laugh. Your tickets are null and void.

As mentioned in earlier post, they lost the element of surprise. Drunk Buckeye fans couldn't keep the secret to themselves.
January 21st, 2017 at 6:53 PM ^
Haha classic OSU fans ruining their plan bc they felt the need to brag about it
January 21st, 2017 at 7:09 PM ^
One day it'll all come crashing down. All it takes is one person who feels motivated to talk, and then we'll learn what really goes on there.
This won't go on forever.

Dude, it was a prank.
January 21st, 2017 at 7:55 PM ^
ruining an event that raises money for charity is another
January 21st, 2017 at 11:28 PM ^
If they bought tickets, what exactly did they ruin? Is there some Ohio exchange rate that I am unaware of?
January 21st, 2017 at 11:41 PM ^
Tickets are free. No individual paid money for hundreds of tickets just to not use them.
January 22nd, 2017 at 2:31 AM ^
Fuckin A right there is Hombre - and it ain't favorable!

... then we'll learn what really goes on there.

This was an unimaginative prank that was allowed to happen due to Michigan's athletic department's complete lack of foresight.
There should be some kind of cost (or money that goes to a designated charity) associated with the procurement of a ticket (UM students could get a free ticket with their ID and sent electronically to their UM e-mail).
This was all on an athletic department of a university that prides itself on being a "public Ivy" being outsmarted by a couple of dimwitted, truck-driving fans of a rival university.
January 22nd, 2017 at 9:45 AM ^
Harsh.
January 22nd, 2017 at 10:11 AM ^
I beg to differ....
January 22nd, 2017 at 11:53 AM ^
Outsmarted? Hardly. They probably just made a mistake that decent people always make: assuming that other people are decent.
January 22nd, 2017 at 12:18 PM ^
They could have charged $5-10 for each ticket and given the proceeds to ChadTough, but I'm guessing they realized it would raise a lot more money if they just encouraged a donation. For every few people who donated just a few dollars or nothing for each ticket, there would likely be others who would donate $20-100. Maybe in the future they will charge a fee, but it really sucks that it would have to come to that and likely be less money donated to charity.
January 21st, 2017 at 6:53 PM ^
would have given them away anyway.
January 21st, 2017 at 6:53 PM ^
The legend of umbig11 continues to grow!
January 21st, 2017 at 8:14 PM ^
but the real heroes apparently are 'Maizen' for his earlier OP, and those who sent screenshots of the evidence to umbig11, such as 'GoBlue2323'
MOMS, can you dish out 10000-point bonuses to reward them for their good deeds?
January 21st, 2017 at 8:25 PM ^
Please reward them.
January 21st, 2017 at 11:21 PM ^
10000 points feels like a good number for counterintelligence work.
January 21st, 2017 at 6:57 PM ^
sad Buckeyes go after and try to ruin a charity event - just shows the complete lack of class of those involved, including the one ozone contributor
January 21st, 2017 at 7:00 PM ^
Can you tell me who Snoke is, UMB11?
January 21st, 2017 at 7:05 PM ^
Sifo-Dyas, obviously.

It usually doesn't end well for OSU fans when they try to outsmart Michigan fans
January 22nd, 2017 at 2:37 AM ^
Man it doesn't even work out well when they try to outsmart sparty, fergodsakes

Their fans engineer a childish, dickish move, and stupidly brag about it. M is smart enough to,figure out how to,counter it very simply. Advantage, M.
January 21st, 2017 at 7:14 PM ^
Well done guys! Great job finding the culprits and for getting the info to the people in charge!

This is pretty f'in awesome. Cheers to umbig11 and to the mgoboard for foiling this.
January 21st, 2017 at 8:15 PM ^
Glad to see the issue resolved. Thanks for your help in outsmarting them at their own game.
January 21st, 2017 at 9:28 PM ^
Thanks for taking that role on.
January 21st, 2017 at 8:35 PM ^
I could hate osu and all it's degenerate fans any more...Now I do.
GO BLUE!!
January 21st, 2017 at 8:39 PM ^
That someone that posted it on scout was me. I belonged to it for a while but never post on message boards. No one really took me serious on there, or seemed to want to do anything about it. so I came here and saw a post about me posting it on scout glad you guys listened. HAIL TO THE VICTORS

Whats the opposite of Bolivia?
January 21st, 2017 at 8:41 PM ^
GoBlue 2323 and UMBig - you rock!!
January 21st, 2017 at 8:46 PM ^
umbig11 is clearly just inoculating the herd in advance of his impending meltdown and trip to Bolivia. I see what you did there, my friend.

makes OSU look petty and very little-brotherish. What does it say about a school, and a mindset, where the worst of all possible outcomes in their lives might be that they aren't sure to win a football game... and even more horrifying, that the competition looks good.
January 22nd, 2017 at 11:48 AM ^
When you become obsessed with something and it becomes your whole life, there is going to be a very scared and desperate individual. Add on top of that, there are tens of thousands of them in the state of Ohio who are just that. You have to understand now how miserable they once were for a very long time and will do whatever to not go back to that dark place. It's too bad for them because the harder you cling to something and become crazy over it, the more it escapes you. That's why I say that everything burns baby!!
January 21st, 2017 at 9:46 PM ^
So does this mean their tickets are just going to come up as "Nah, f**k you" if some of them actually show up and try to get in with them? Cuz it would be pretty awesome if they were none the wiser and got denied with a boot in the ass and a harsh rebuke.
January 22nd, 2017 at 9:27 AM ^
The point was to not show up and thus leave empty seats. But if they were to show up in their OSU gear, then I can think of 31 reasons why that would be fun for the crowd and 0 reasons why not.
January 21st, 2017 at 9:48 PM ^
which is about the level I would expect from OSU.
January 21st, 2017 at 9:55 PM ^
I LOVE this blog.
