That’s some super passive aggressive shit right there!El_K said:
...No, I am unable to stay “All In” to support student athletes...
Or when they call on the phone and I say no and they immediately launch into "MrJD, is $20 worth the life of a child??"
"Holy shit, $20? I've been paying waaaay more than that!
We'll give this a try in next year's fundraiser

True, but for the SEC schools (at least when it comes to football), you’re getting a better ROI *and* are treated well as a fan (and not just an afterthought).YellowSnow said:
Sadly though UW is just like any other big time athletic dept in its insatiable need for cash.Doog_de_Jour said:
I 100% support you in this Rowboat, (I used to think that way too) but I hate it how UW has preyed upon our collective gratitude to keep supporting their insatiable need for cash to prop up their ever increasing expenditures.YellowSnow said:Donating the cost of the 2020 tickets isn’t an option for me. At the same time, as much as I want to say FO, give me a refund, I can’t bring myself to do it. I got to do a lot of cool shit in college because some other rich fucks opened up their check books. So I think UW can keep my money in the bank as a small token of my gratitude.

Dear Ms. Cohen:
My offer is this: nothing.
Not even the $30.00 for parking in the E1 lot, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally.
Sincerely,

Just got a text from a friend wondering if the above was an actual email from Jen Cohen to me. No, no, no... It is a parody of Godfather Part II, when Senator Geary is threatening Michael Corleone and telling him he will pay $250,000 + a cut from the casinos.
We've been posting the Corleone "My offer is this.. Nothing" gif the last few days. That line comes from the scene at the Lake Tahoe compound.
I have not had direct contact with Jen Cohen since I interviewed her for Bow Down to Willingham.

I wouldn't want to read your emails for a day.

Just for the record, I never sent that letter either. I have not had direct contact with Jen Cohen...only her lawyers.DerekJohnson said:DerekJohnson said:Doog_de_Jour said:7314 Aurora Ave N

As somebody who's never had season tickets, can somebody cut through the charitable gift/Tyee/All-In/seat donation jargon and explain to me like I'm five what the AD is doing that's wrong? Sounds like they're offering a refund buck begging for a donation. Nothing wrong with that.
What athletic department in the country carries an entire season of revenue as a cash surplus in case the world takes a year off? What could they have done differently to avoid this crisis? Fund themselves like the USPS has been forced to do, thus hemorrhaging cash? As for big budgets and insatiable need for cash, we can't have it both ways. We demand the best of everything, from facilities to staff to recruiting budget to under the table whores in order to be competitive and win, but these things cost money and must be paid for in some way. -
There was once a person in the parking lot asking me that. I tried to throw him a $5 (didn’t have any 1’s) to make him go away. He said they didn’t accept cash and that I could sponsor a kid for $20 a month on my debit card.RaceBannon said:

We can argue all year whether they should play but every decision has a consequence
If people want to pay to keep the lights on its certainly their choice and fine with me. Others don't and thats fine too
The UW has to try and we have to mock them. Its in the contract
