I'm whining here, dammit!<br /><br />I don't mean to suggest that I don't love this university. I've received a great education at a price that, while rising, is still reasonable. Despite the occasional glimpses of the giant revenue-eating machine behind Mirror Lake and the Oval, I've had a great time here. I'm just disappointed that I haven't (yet) won that damn ticket, and disappointed that the donors are favored so much more than the students. I know it's unrealistic to expect otherwise, but still.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15384722951212313468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26427038.post-42611349799742110492006-11-30T10:39:00.000-05:002006-11-30T10:39:00.000-05:00I hope you get a ticket to the game.
That being s...I hope you get a ticket to the game.<br /><br />That being said, do you realize with a student population in the mid 50 thousands, that tOSU has a ton of alumni? I know you understand that. There will always be students and the ticket prices and tuition will go up. It doesn't matter. People will pay.<br /><br />There is no more "bang for your buck" for going to college. It's the "no bang at all" you would feel if you didn't attend and you were working third shift at the steel mill that will eventually close.<br /><br />There will always be people who feel the love for "the ol' alma mater". Don't tie your joy at Ohio State entirely to the athletics. Find other things as well, like Thursday nights at some dump bar where you meet lots of women.<br /><br />By the way, the athletic department never calls for donations. It's always your school, like the College of Arts & Sciences or something. It's easy to say no to them. It's even easier to say "NO!" to the athletic department when you know your donation would just go to paying some old basketball coach who cheated.<br /><br />You could always fly to AZ and scalp tickets. Bring your money. And, once again, good luck.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983116702428536760noreply@blogger.com
