Bo statement

[WAHusker]

That's a lie. They had the team vote on it.

 

You really think that happened?

 

I don't know if you know this, but the spring games are always taped, and always made available to the fans, so your super secret theory is wrong. I have a copy of each of the last 3.

 

Ya, and Bo has stated every year he would rather not play the game at all. No tapes, no fans, no media. I think if Bo could find an easy way out of the spring game, he was going to use it.... and he did.

 

 

I think that you should get your ten bucks per ticket back, but no one but you can be responsible for the rest of the money you spent.

 

 

I dont care about the money. I had a good time Friday night and Saturday day. I got to see some family and old friends. I wasnt asking for my money back or anything. But, some people seem to think every husker fan still lives in Nebraska or the midwest. Some of us have to spend much more to come see games and spring practices.

Osborne Announces Two Options for Spring Game Tickets

 

 

Due to inclement weather and potentially severe weather throughout Eastern Nebraska and the Lincoln area, Nebraska's Red-White Spring Football Game, scheduled for Saturday, April 14, 2012 at Memorial Stadium was canceled. Nebraska officials announced Saturday afternoon that the game would not be rescheduled.

As promised to fans on Saturday, Athletic Director Tom Osborne met with staff on Monday to discuss what athletics has done and can do to give fans value for their purchased and/or complimentary tickets. The game was cancelled at approximately 1 p.m. when it became clear that the window of opportunity was insufficient for any significant football action to take place on Saturday. In addition to looking for a window of opportunity to play the game, NU administrators wanted fans to be in a safe place when the next wave of severe weather hit Lincoln. Many of the fans who had already entered the stadium took advantage of free concession food being offered and participated in an impromptu autograph session with the Husker players.

Osborne said Monday that fans have two choices to gain value from their Spring Game tickets.

• Any ticket, free or purchased, may be presented at the gate the day of the game for free general admission seating to any remaining regular-season home baseball or softball game. Softball has four home games remaining while baseball has 10 home games remaining including this weekend's three-game series with Purdue
  

• Fans can receive credit for those 2012 Spring Game tickets purchased, at the face value of the 2012 ticket price, for 2013 Spring Game ticket purchases. Fans will not get credit for any complimentary tickets obtained. To receive credit, fans must return all tickets ordered (purchased and free) via mail to the Nebraska Athletic Ticket Office by May 1, 2012 (P.O. Box 82848, Lincoln, NE 68501). After tickets are returned, the amount equivalent to all 2012 purchased Spring Game tickets will be credited to their account and can be used only for 2013 Spring Game tickets. Fans must call in next year to purchase new seats using their credited amount. All seats will be sold next year based on a first-come, first-served basis. Credited amounts will not include any postage or handling charges. When returning tickets, include full name and mailing address that was used when ordering as the credit will be placed on that account for next year. For tickets purchased over the counter or on game day, please include name, mailing address, daytime phone number and email.
  

"We believe this is the fairest way to give fans the same value they have purchased," Osborne said. "We have given our fans two choices: Fans are welcome to utilize a full credit for tickets purchased to buy tickets to next year's Spring Game by returning those tickets to the ticket office; or fans can use purchased and complimentary tickets in exchange for general admission seating to any of the remaining 14 regular-season home softball or baseball games. We greatly appreciate the support of our fans and hope that this helps to compensate them for their purchase, effort and time. No one has a crystal ball, but we believe we made the right decision as soon as we possibly could."

A total of 39,327 tickets were sold and 52,300 were distributed. Complimentary tickets included more than 7,700 to youth who are eighth grade and younger and committed to take the drug free pledge in lieu of admission. Another 2,633 were distributed free of charge to UNL students. As with all University of Nebraska athletic tickets, the "no refunds" policy is printed on the back of each ticket stub. A date has not been set for next year's spring game. Fans are encouraged to check Huskers.com for more information.

Yeah I do think that happened.

The fact that you're claiming the weather as being an easy way out is downright ridiculous. As if Bo is thinking (while rubbing his hands together devilishly, "yes yes, good now that bad weather is here I can finally NOT have a spring game. Muhahahahahahahahahaha!"

 

 

I think that you should get your ten bucks per ticket back, but no one but you can be responsible for the rest of the money you spent.

 

 

I dont care about the money. I had a good time Friday night and Saturday day. I got to see some family and old friends. I wasnt asking for my money back or anything.

You obviously cared about the money, otherwise you wouldn't have made a post about the money.

 

By the way, somebody with photoshop should photoshop Pelini's and Tom's head onto that one meme where everyone is laughing and they're laughing along the lines of something like this, "And then I said, let's say the team voted on it".

[huskeraddict]

I think everyone is avoiding the REAL issue here. Think of how many children will now begin drinking and doing drugs because they did not hear the Drug-Free Pledge at halftime! WHAT KIND OF ADMINISTRATION ARE WE ALLOWING TO RUN THIS PROGRAM?

I would like to them post the picture of every fan that requests a $10 credit.

[It'sNotAFakeID]

Probably still a bit racist.

[BigRedPowerWagon]

Missing the game sucks i agree, and believe me i would of love to gotten my husker football fix early. But really, Maybe lord Osborne called upon the weather to help shield bo's 2012 NC Team from the press so we can all be suprised when we see the product they will put on the field in the fall.

[Count 'Bility]

hey pot, your black!

 

high horse? where? you smokin the reefer again, kid? because as always, your not making much sense....

 

High horse. Yes. You make this an issue because you traveled X miles to see a frickin scrimmage. Jokes on you pal. Now youre all "not all fans live in Nebraska, I traveled this far to have this cancelled. Wah wah wah" Now does it make sense? Just a thought.

[Saunders]

That's a lie. They had the team vote on it.

 

You really think that happened?

 

So now you're accusing the players of lying?

 

I don't know if you know this, but the spring games are always taped, and always made available to the fans, so your super secret theory is wrong. I have a copy of each of the last 3.

 

Ya, and Bo has stated every year he would rather not play the game at all. No tapes, no fans, no media. I think if Bo could find an easy way out of the spring game, he was going to use it.... and he did.

So, Bo is just lying when he says that having huge crowds at the game is a good recruiting tool? I want you to find a quote from each of the last 4 years where Bo says he doesn't want to play the spring game.

 

 

I dont care about the money. I had a good time Friday night and Saturday day. I got to see some family and old friends. I wasnt asking for my money back or anything.

No freaking duh. I live in Florida, and am gonna drop about 2 grand, just to come back to see a game for the first time in over a decade. You aren't the only one who spends money. Take off the tin foil hat, and look at it objectively.
