Just got an email from ND warning me I haven't donated the

requisite $200 to be eligible for the ND football ticket lottery. Once upon a time, that seemed important. And once upon a time, the school cared about winning NCs. Neither is the case anymore, and that leaves me feeling sad. I used to laugh at myself for being unable to shake the conviction that - this could be the year they run the table! - I turned to look but it was gone, I cannot put my finger on it now, the child is grown, the dream is gone. I.....have become.... comfortably numb....

On the flip side I wrote, “I will not give you a cent until you fire Kelly. He is a national embarrassment for our university.”

I’m sure I’m on a list.

For all but the biggest games, I can get better tickets for cheaper on the secondary market.

If they tried to hire someone to design and implement a bad system they couldn’t have nailed it as well as they have.

I don’t really know what the advantage is anymore of donating. There is no lottery and games don’t sellout and probably never will again even if we win 5 straight titles. You can simply buy tickets online like any random person can.

Once ND joins the Big-10 and you can't get your UNC or UCLA tix, don't come crying to us! Bonger's got his Rutgers tailgates already plannned.

There's absolutely no reason to donate for purpose of getting in the ticket lottery. And I'd guess you chance at OSU tickets is pretty slim for a minimum donation. Every other game except USC will be available for purchase at face value (or less). And I'd expect even USC tickets will be available for face to close to it unless both teams are undefeated at the time of the game (perhaps likely for USC given their early season schedule, less so for us in light of the OSU game).


I'd like Louisville tix *
