Is USM's AD joking? Surely he understands why we alotted so few tix.
- Thread starter mcdawg22
- Start date
not even sure how to take that... supposed to be subtle jab? they'll be returning 4990 of them anyway
Is he complaining about that allotment? If so, this is a big reason why state should not schedule southern.
I honestly don't understand why we don't totally remove them from our schedule in every sport, mens and women's.
In the situation they are in right now, they should be on their hands and knees thanking us. And their AD should be cutting greg byrne's yard during the summer as a kickback because his salary might not get paid without this game. Amazing.

They don't even have student tickets, they just have to show a student ID. I can't tell you how many times in high school I walked into a USM game flashing a credit card or something to the guy at the gate.
They do math at USM?
At 102K give or take a few, 7k tickets is 6.9% at UA whereas 5k out of 61.3 = 8.2%. They better buy all of them or this guy is going to have more than egg on his face. Dumb move.

What a dick, does he actually think they will come even close to taking 7,000 to Bama? He's not even getting that many at home games right now and they are giving tickets out to Boy Scouts, Boys/Girls Clubs etc. Has he looked at their balance sheet lately you wonder?
Some of you are in for a rude awakening when we go to Hattiesburg (as far as ticket availability goes). They will have fans coming out of the woodworks for that game. They will treat it like the super bowl, and I don't care how bad they are supposed to be. You're about to find out why no one wanted to schedule them in the first damn place.
Literally. They will be handing out tickets for free at the Lowes's lumber department. And one glance at the stadium should be all the reason to never schedule a game there. Maybe we'll buy it out and let them schedule a game with Millsaps.
This game was one of the worst things Byrne did. The rumor was we scheduled the game to get in good graces with Phil Bryant.
Just tweeted him back that if he only gave us 5,000 then we'd still outnumber their fans by 2,000.
When I was in high school, you got a "free" ticket to the USM home opener for every $50 you spent back-to-school shopping at the McRae's in Turtle Creek Mall.
I also remember the MSU-USM basketball game at Hattiesburg in 95/96 being at least 40% State fans.

This is a lot of butt-hurt over nothing.
Pretty sure 5000 is a pretty typical number of tickets offered to the other team's ticket office. That's spelled out in the contract that was signed five or so years ago. He's not attacking us in that tweet.
