Twodocs Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I was sad to see that our band was forced to remain in Lincoln. It seems since they take so many freloading big shots there was no money for airfare just a dangerous long winter bus ride. This affirms NU is all about the money and not the students. Just like moving the UNL students to the worst seats in the stadium and then cutting the number and raising the prices! Quote Link to comment

UGAHusker Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Band a no-show?? Who do they think they are? Guns N Roses?? No, they think they're Motley Crue. Remember Tommy Lee? Quote Link to comment
General Blackshirt Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Would you have rather them gone anyway and been involved in an accident? Yeah, good call. You should run the program. Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I have read that there are some other schools making the same decision...budget constraints. The Gophers' band is going, but the AD is unable.....a little backwards i guess. Quote Link to comment
Twodocs Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Would you have rather them gone anyway and been involved in an accident? Yeah, good call. You should run the program. My feeling is the band is a priority not Regents and politicans. The band should have flown! The Bowls pay for these expenses but the adminstrators put the band on a bus and put a bunch of freeloaders and the freeloader's entourage on a jet and get em a limo and hotel and meals and hotel first class all the way. We are the fourth most valuable program but rather selfhish about sharing with the students and student life experiences "4. Nebraska Cornhuskers Team Value: $93 million Profit: $49 million Head Coach: Bo Pelini Conference: Big 12 Previous Value Rank: 18 Lincoln, Neb., Metro Population: 295,486 Donations required by Nebraska for season ticket holders to keep their seats totaled $15 million last season.

MidtownJK Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I agree. This is crappy. Anyone of the VIP's going could certainly afford the trip. The coaches get to take the wife's etc for free. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Sucks.......no fight song during game or after a score...... maybe they can pipe in some music for the video screen. Quote Link to comment

huskerswrkhavoc Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Um... TO did move the students and yes it sucks.. but get your facts straight, the prices havent changed. Quote Link to comment
Twodocs Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 there is a list and when you see who went and how many rooms seats and meals it will shock and embarass you most of the peoiple who go for free could afford to pay they are fat cats stealing perks from students under state freedom of information they disclose but months later Quote Link to comment
