I bought season tickets!

by **Dendrobates** Mon 21 Jul 2014 - 11:10

The last time I bought season football tickets was in 2009. I haven't been able to buy them since because of money. I was informed on Friday, that I won this sales contest at work and got a big bonus. So I bought my tickets yesterday. I've been celebrating all weekend long and looking forward to tailgating with you crazy fuckers. I bought season tickets! 2275418548

The tailgate spot takeover plan can now proceed.

I am not familiar with how they do tailgate spots. I'm hoping someone can fill me in. When I signed up for the tickets, it asked what level of a donor I am or non donor. I selected $100 assuming that woukd be added to my ticket bill, and it didn't. And I thought some tailgate spots were based on donor amounts. Don't know if I count. And do I just separately donate $100 whenever?

Will there be a separate Swill tailgate? And, will this tailgate will be set up directly next to tRCMB tailgate?

Sounds awkward.

I don't think $100 will get you a parking spot. Just find one of the public lots - they're more fun anyway.

Also, if we have a bad year (like 6-7 in 09) we're blaming you, and you can't come to games anymore.

Fair enough I will take the blame.

We're still figuring that one out. A thread on the subject will start eventually.

We are taking their spot. You can call it a hostile takeover if you want.

You need to hit up the ballers for some flag/banner funding. I could probably do the graphics unless somebody else wants to.

VistaPrint has a 40% off banner special going on. 8' x 2.5' for ~$33. I bought season tickets! 2599972566

The "graphics" should just be a giant middle finger, right?

Suggestions are welcome. Here's what I put together in 15 minutes:

I would think all amenities would be dependent on baller support. The possibilities are endless. The only thing I can promise is that Mrs. Miser will likely never be there. She's doesn't do football.

by **DroppedByADime** Mon 21 Jul 2014 - 16:54

If the rcmb spot is taken over, I'd gladly donate a tent and a few hundred bucks to kick start this fucker.

Likely only UM and OSU for me ...... But I'd cough up some loot to ensure swillness

I might be able to make it.. not sure.

I will donate to the baller support. But we need a different banner, Heat. Sorry. More.... Subtlety would be nice.

Yea I think all of that is unnecessary and ridiculous. I just want to party with my fellow Spartans and not have any drama.

If you don't like drama why would you tailgate with message board posters ?

If you are one of those baller-ass RVs that park along the curb on the other side of the tunnel I'd say we've found our host. cheers

I always start at a buddy's spot near Admin but usually made it around to a tailgate in the NW corner of Breslin

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** Thu 24 Jul 2014 - 1:05

I don't generally like going to a random tailgate with a bunch of motherfuckers that I don't know, but pick a game (not Neb, OSU or UM, and perhaps also not one of the preseason games because we are going to have my son's b-day party that day), and I vow I will bring my cooking machine and cook for a Swill tailgate. I don't really like many of you guys but I do appreciate what SRC and Heat have done here.

Because it's not like that IRL at the tailgate. Its usually a great time. But this group has made it into a drama club when it should just be fun and laid back. There can be a separate swill tailgate, but the constant bashing is unnecessary.

First mention of tSwill at another tailgate and you'll be duct taped and told to leave. Any mention of this place, over there, and it is almost immediately deleted. There's no drama over there, because it is dealt with heavy handed. With freedom, comes drama. flower

As a matter of fact, if Mentalstate and Miami keep posting over there, I'm not even sure I can make it to the Miami watch parties anymore!

by AvgMSUJoe Thu 24 Jul 2014 - 11:49

I don't get the drama.

There is no "us" in the "us" vs "them" mentality some of you have.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** Thu 24 Jul 2014 - 11:51

I am pretty sure most people in this thread are poking fun. I do think that bryanleeg dude has serious animosity but everyone else is fucking around.

by **Robert J Sakimano** Thu 24 Jul 2014 - 11:51

the only reason I would go to tRCMB would be to meet the Mexico City Madman.. not only is he a great Spartan but, from what I hear, he's a great guy to have a beer with.

Well, call it self preservation on my part. If this place dies, I have no where else to post, which means I don't have a lot of other places I can go at work to make it through the day. I looked at phalanx forums, but those are pretty dead and boring, can't post on rival's without paying and can't post on tRCMB. That place is technically inferior to here, but people are choosing long load times, low functionality and heavy modding to a great alternative.

What's stopping you from posting under a different name over there?

I can't mask my IP at work and I think tOwner has something out for me, since 2 of my alt accounts appear to be perma banned as well. That and I think this place is better and I enjoy being here more, but know that traffic needs to step up some. Here, we'll put it to a test, I doubt we can get enough votes.
