I might have some last…

I have some last minute tickets available, my buddy's flight got diverted.

2 tickets, Section 725, club level seats with free food and easy access private bathrooms. Seriously sweet setup, I'm sitting here snacking now. I'll only charge you what I paid, $1139 each which is way cheaper than any of the ticket services right now. 

Act fast because I'll be posting on a ticket service shortly

Sorry for the new post, but replies are being flaky. 

Game time app is what I used. I kept refreshing and saw them cup up and jumped on them. The 700 sections are the directors club sections. My specific section is 725.  

For those that are getting…

For those that are getting desperate keep an eye on the ticketing apps. I was just able to snag some club seats for my group of 4 on Gametime for $1130. The seats are high up in the endzone, but you have access to the directors club concessions, bar, and more importantly restrooms. I still see some tickets in the section available, lets make it an all Michigan section! (if you don't see this price now keep refreshing, it's been coming off and on).

There is a gear shop with lots of Michigan/ CFP Championship gear in the convention center fan fest. There's some cool stuff in there, but warning, prices seemed to be at least 20% higher than the MDen which is already pricy.

Where do you get info about volume of tickets? I don't see total number of tickets available on any of the sites

Looking for 3 tickets to the Fiesta Bowl. Not that picky on section as long as it's on the Michigan side. I live in Ann Arbor but will be heading to Phoenix tomorrow if you'd like to do the trade in person.

I have yet to try Fubo TV,…

I have yet to try Fubo TV, but have had issues with the 4K quality of Youtube TV. Biggest issue has been skipping, especially if using the built in smart tv apps. It seems they do not have enough processing power. Using a chromecast w/ Google TV has worked a bit better for me, but it still skips occasionally. I also tried watching a feed the other day and it was very washed out looking. 

I've heard that using the Fox Sports App may fix these issues, but I haven't tried it yet. You can log into it with your Youtube Tv or Fubo credentials and it should be the same experience for each.

I double checked this and…

I double checked this and Youtube TV does show that the game is being streamed in 4K. 

Note: You'll need an additional $20 subscription on top of standard Youtube TV. I've also had issues with very bad lag / skipping when trying to stream Youtube TV in 4K (I have 1Gb fiber internet so that's not the issue). I'd say don't even try it if you're using the built in apps in your smart tv, both my Vizio and Samsung smart tv's skipped so much it's infuriating. Using a Google TV works better, but there are still occasional skips that aren't present in standard HD. I've heard that using the Fox Sports App works better, but have yet to try it. 

FYI for anyone dealing with…

FYI for anyone dealing with cancellations. Lots of credit cards have excellent Trip Delay benefits as long as you paid for your flights using the card.

For example, most Chase cards allow you to be reimbursed up to $500 per person to pay for hotels, meals, parking, etc while you're delayed. 

Looks like we get to join…

Looks like we get to join the extended vacation club! Just had my AA flight for tomorrow morning back to DTW cancelled. First available flight is Monday. I guess there are worse places to be stuck.

Just a heads up for others, grey lots don't allow tailgating.

I don't have any firsthand knowledge of if it's actually enforced, but just wanted to put the info out there.

Maybe you can answer the…

Maybe you can answer the question of when I should sell the Cotton Bowl tickets I bought thinking that's where we'd end up?

I've taken a killing on them and wondering if they will just keep getting cheaper and I should sell now. Upper sideline btw

I just bought a Weber Spirit…

I just bought a Weber Spirit (which still has no doors for 19) and it seems pretty nice so far. I can't speak to the longevity yet since I just got it though. I prefer the no door design, I never really stored anything in there on my last grill and it was just a hiding place for spiders.

I do admit the wheels are pretty crap but my grill sits in one place 99% of the time anyways. Anyways, I'm not in the grilling industry, just did a ton of research before spending this much on a grill and reviews seemed to be universaly good for Weber. So far my experience with my new grill is great. 

Charger Hellcat for me. All…

Charger Hellcat for me. All the power of the Challenger but a much more livable car day-to-day.

 

Actually the Hellcat is…

Actually the Hellcat is suprisingly drivable. I'd say it mostly feels like the 392 while you're driving around town. You definitely notice the extra power when you go any further than 50% pedal, but as long as you stay out of it, its actually quite managable.

The $216 to ATT seems pretty…

The $216 to ATT seems pretty normal, especially if you are making payments on all 3 phones (upgraded within the last 2 years).

 

The $283 to comcast seems very high. Have you called comcast recently to see if they have any better offers? What I've learned from having comcast service is that you have to play a game where you call them up once a year to complain about how much your service costs and they will offer you a better deal. Then next year when the deal runs out your cost will skyrocket again so you have to call and bitch at them all over again. Its obnoxious, but the price you have to pay to get the best rates with comcast. 

To get an idea of what you could be paying go to the comcast site in incognito mode and try to look up deals for new customers. You may have to say that you are moving to your current address to get them to show up.

Youtube TV has unlimited DVR…

Youtube TV has unlimited DVR (cloud based) and I've never had any issues with it dropping out, buffering, etc. 

I pay $80 per month total ($40 for Comcast internet 150Mb and $40 for Youtube TV). Your brother might just need a faster internet speed for his to work better.

Sounds like we just have a lifestyle difference though. I see the $120 per month extra that you spend over me and think of the benefits I could have by saving that money. Sounds like your priority is convenience so cable makes sense for you.

And to answer your questions…

And to answer your questions, you can get some decent quiet generators from harbor freight for <$800. This 3500 watt should be enough to run 1 medium sized appliance at a time. 

You'll have to do your own research on the quality as I don't own this.

Yes a generator is an option, or a much cheaper option in the unlikely even that you lose power would be to watch on a phone or tablet or head to a nearby bar.

NCAA 14 Dynasty - PS3

Sorry to post this again, but still looking for another person. Posbang thread seems like an appropriate place.

 

 

Would anyone like to join an NCAA 14 online dynasty on PS3?

We only need one person and your school would be Eastern Michigan, the rest of us have various 1* to 3* teams. Unfortunately one of the guys had to drop out of the league, but we are only 8 games through the first season.

League Rules:

8 regular season user games. 2 conferences, 6 teams each. You play your 5 mates and 3 from the other conference. Winner of each conference plays the other in the bowl game.

Obviously the natty isn't the most important thing; individual bragging rights are. 7 minute quarters, heisman sliders (QBA 10) and advancing twice a week. Lots of good players in the league, but everyone plays respectfully and fairly. Let me know, thanks!

Yeah dude, might as well just give up. Why doesn't the team just walk out, shake hands, and head back to the locker room? Maybe that can make your day more tolerable. Never in history has an 8-3 team beat a 9-2 team before

Wouldn't Peter's still be in Wouldn't Peter's still be in concussion protocal no matter how well he was doing and whether he was a go Saturday or not? In Mondays press conference Harbaugh described it as a process, get cleared for physical exertion, then pending good results get cleared to practice. Being in concussion protocal just tells me that they are still monitoring him, as expected. If his symptoms are clear he should still be good to go, but his health which is obviously most important is still the top priority.

I've seen them on Craigslist

I've seen them on Craigslist for the MSU game (obviously expensive).

It will be much busier trying

It will be much busier trying to get to Pioneer on gameday than it will pulling in on a Friday night. There will probably be a lot of RV's there that night, but they show up pretty spread out throughout the evening as everyone arrives to town and you won't have to deal with general gameday traffic.

second this Second this. I have a Combatant Gent suit and it is GREAT quality for the price. I have the slim fit suit, and it was a very modern, nice fit out of the box. Just had to get a bit of tailoring done and it fits like a custom suit at a fraction of the price. They can be kind of slow so do some research of others who used them for wedding parties and make sure you order them well in advance.

When I went a couple years

When I went a couple years ago, I just made sure to park my car at a place that had an attendant the entire time. Only another buckeye local can fend them off from your car.

 

LIke others have said, the people are definitely unpleasant, people will yell and berate you no matter how much you mind your own business. But if you mind your own business and don't talk shit to anyone, you should be ok. Although we didn't win when I went ... that could be a whole different shitstorm .. I'd suggest getting the hell out as soon as the clock ticks 0 either way.

Be careful depending on

Be careful depending on StubHub for last minute tickets.

 

Tickets on Stubhub stop selling at the game start time!

(confirmed with StubHub rep, this applies to all home games this year)

Sharing this info specifically because it has screwed me over several times trying to get last minute tickets for various events. I'm looking waiting for prices to go down to their minimum, hundred of tickets left, and all of a sudden nothing.

EDIT: First rep in chat said they stop selling 2 hours before the game start time. But I just talked to another rep on the phone and they said tickets stop selling at the game start time. Not sure which one to believe. NightTrain5 in this thread says he confirmed with StubHub that they stop selling at game time, so we'll go with that for now. Practice caution, because once that time hits, all the tickets dissapear from stubhub.

Yeah, I just called and

Yeah, I just called and talked to another rep and they said that tickets will be sold up until game time. Hopefully that's the case and the first rep was wrong.

I just talked to a rep in the chat and she said tickets are only available up until 2 hours before game time for all Michigan home games this year.
