Oregon Tickets

[Dr. Blackheart]

So, it's not like MU is trying to make money on these games.

Exactly.  Other than my free beer sweater vest, post-season is a big benefit for STH.  Sucks for the youngins' but MU is about to ask me for a 40% increase next season.  Bizness

[Benny B]

It's a scumbag ticket broker. He's the white scalper outside the BC.

I'm sorry?  There's no way a scalper - regardless of race - has accumulated 750+ PP, even if he is a STH. 

Hopefully this whole fiasco is just a one-off situation that will to the way of the NIT dodo.  If not, I'll most assuredly have 75 PP next year.

Maybe the 750 point guy is where he is getting the tickets from.

I didn't get tickets but many MU Athletic Department tweets etc encouraging everyone that is going:

WEAR CHAMPIONSHIP BLUE.

Hoping for all fans to wear championship blue and to match the teams jersey colors.

[jesmu84]

STHs who obtained tickets and then are reselling for a huge markup are absolutely douches.

Championship Blue for Sunday boys.

Is championship blue the dark blues or the light blues?

Edit: powder blues = championship blues

[barfolomew]

Championship Blue for Sunday boys and girls.

Et tu, brute?

He's fine.

If he had said "men and girls", though....

I have one student ticket.  The rest of my family couldn't get them because they were sold out.

Am I a bad person if I sell it and pocket the $60 I could get on StubHub?

MU never wins in these unis on national TV.  Eeyore is not pleased!

If you're legitimately a student and you agree to contribute $40 of the proceeds to the "buy Scoopers in attendance many bags of beef and cheddars" fund, then I think it's OK.

I was thinking about putting the $ into my "tickets and gas money to South Bend" fund

WE have our excuse.....

I assume he gets away with "chicks"...right?

It's all about context, my friend.

[dw3dw3dw3]

Did they make up the color championship blue for some reason? Maybe I'm missing some historical context.

[WarriorFan]

"Championship" Blue is the color we always lose in.
Very bad choice.
End of the NIT run.  It's too weak of a color.  Doesn't intimidate.

That's a totally legit expense.

It's been confirmed he's a scalper. He posted them on Craigslist with the same address he does for tons of other tickets.

[We R Final Four]

Its not his account.  He pays the STH for the right to buy his tickets to NIT, Wisky, Nova.  Brian D does not have 750+ points.

People can yell "free market" all they want. It's a scumbag move

I'm sure there are more than a few 750 point fans who firmly believe that the team should have turned down the NIT because it's an embarrassment, that anything short of a final four is a wasted season, that Wojo should be fired. 

But they're not stupid financially--if they can buy at 20 and sell at 80, they'll take that deal all day.

If they really felt that way, they would not be 750 point fans.  They would have not invested that amount of time and money for 15 years of disappointment.

Perhaps.... but I imagine most 750-pointers have probably gone senile by now, so who knows.
