Everyone needs to fill their "4 free seats" with those blue jersey'd cardboard box fans.
"Act fast. Only 48,000 seats left."
Re: "Fan Appreciation Month
Even if I knew four crazies who want to go, there is no way I'll be able to get anyone to reimburse me the per ticket fee or the processing charge for the free tickets.

Goes without saying, but wow...
I hope nobody takes them up on the offer and that a lot of those with tickets don't show. Time for further public embarrassment to hopefully force the hand of the administration to make the right move.
Has anyone forwarded this on to Henderson or Jizla? I'm sure they'd have a field day with it..

Your family who's in town for Thanksgiving. Didn't you read the press release ? :stupid: :lol:
And tell them that once inside, there will be free food & beer for all!!

With 64 passing, maybe they could give away free pot and bus people in from out of state?

:lol: Well, if we're giving away tickets I find it hard to believe Embo and company will be back in 2013. The AD obviously knows fans can't stand the product on the field, and this will continue in 2013 unless a change is made. Who's going to get excited for Central Arkansas and Fresno State next year when the team will suck again with the same terrible staff?
If I was going to go to 1 game next season, it would be Central Arkansas. If a few bounces go our way, we could win that one.
God willing...
I knew this was coming. You combine all of the students being on fall break, no rivalry game, no Nebraska fans to buy up every ticket in sight, and a complete garbage team on the field and probably a relatively cold November day and you equal empty stadium. Unbelievable. Please fire Embree and bring in a staff that the fanbase can get behind.
I don't know, the AD, Dr. Phil and BB seem to think they keep polishing a turd. I don't put anything past them. While this is the most pathetic thing I have heard from the AD (and brother, that is saying a lot), I would not at all be surprised to see them trying to sell Buff fans on keeping Embo for a third year.
I can see the conversation between Bohn and Phil and BB:
BB: How are ticket sales holding up?
MB: Not good.
PD: Like 10% less sales ot good?
MB: No like we can't even get people to come to the game when we give them free tickets not good.
BB: Oh. Well maybe we can evaluate Embree next year or the year after, since it could be a little concerning at some point.
Re: "Fan Appreciation Month"
No ****. I'm surprised that they haven't called with surveys like they did prior to Hawkins being fired, when they asked about opinions of different coaching candidates and season ticket renewals, etc.
Unfortunately, this is probably more evidence that all plans point to bringing Embree back at this time.

Buffnik has gone from absent, to fully engaged. He's gone full "Joel Klatt" on us, seemingly obsessed with getting Embree out of here. Very fun to watch, and I'm supportive.
As far as the ticket give-away, it strikes me as somewhat sad, but at least we know the AD is in touch with the fact that fan turnout will be very low. I'll give them points for being in touch with that reality.
I have 2 season tickets and I've barely watched all year. My daughter got married on the day of the CSU game (to a Ram). That was hard to take. My GodDaughter got married in Cali on the day of the Sac State game, so I missed that. I was in Hawaii on vacation during the Fresno State game. I watched only a little of each of those games on DVR. I lost interest after that. Nobody wants to go with me. Least of all relatives from out of state with no connection to the program.
My younger daughter applied to CU and CU only. But not she is thinking she should be looking at other schools....
BOYCOTT this offer. It won't hurt the AD financially but sends a strong message. We cannot even give away tickets!
I get the opposite feeling. How can they keep a coach whose team is so bad that you can't even GIVE tickets away? What will season ticket numbers look like next season? It could be the first year where CSU outdraws us to the Rocky Mountain Showdown.
If they think that some changes to assistants are going to placate the fans, then they are dumber that I thought initially..... which isn't saying much
Coming out against Embree would require Klatt to admit he was wrong. That has about as much chance of happening as the Utah game being a sell out.
