I have had tickets for a few years, but I know a few friends that donated $100 last year and got tickets the first year on the waiting list. With the Mandatory $500 that you have to donate now, I would recommend at least $600. This will give you one more priority point than everyone else who just put in $500.
I have worked in a few bars/restaurnts in my day and I knew the place was doomed from the start.
1) The prices were waaaaay off base. They needed to check the prices of their competition and set them accordingly.
2) The service was shitty (some of the staff were easy on the eyes, but I dont want to wait 10 minutes for a beer)
3) The set up of the restaurant. Those large 10 person tables were very awkward and made it very difficult to have a conversation. They needed more "traditional" bar seating, such as booths and small tables.
I am mostly just trying to temper my excitement, but don't forget that we lose our top WR, all American center, as well as 3/4 of our starting Dline. All of these loses don't have apparent heir combined with our incredibly tough schedule and I think 9 wins is best case scenario.
Also State's backup is Andrew Maxwell. He will be a RS soph next year and was a 4star recruit. He has the experience in the system, but obviously not much in the actual game.

For the most part I have enjoyed the addition of piped in music to Michigan stadium. The biggest problem I see is that the choice of WHEN to play the music. Second and 5 in the 1st quarter against SDSU is NOT an appropriate time to play Seven Nation Army or any other "pump up" music. In fact I would be in favor of limiting it to 3 times a game (unless you are coming up from a 17 pt hole and it is awesome). I would also like to try and get some songs where the crowd can get involved (think Jump Around at Wisconsin), this will take time, but playing the same 5 songs every game is no way to try out new things.
Assuming he does get offered, would he join the team in the fall of '12 or '13? After Stonum and Hemmingway leave after this season (hopefully stonum is after the season) and a slot ninja or two transfers, we could definitely take a chance on a tall receiver like him.
How much would it hurt THE game, if OSU's program is destroyed. Our recent decline has already taken a little glimmer off of the prominence of it. It is still the best rivalry in sports, but how much better would it be if games like 2006 could happen more often?
I don't know exactly what I want the NCAA to come down on them with. Thoughts?
but i recently jumped down the street to State Street barber. I felt much more welcome and there never seemes to be a wait. Price and quality of the haircut were still the same.
