Pure class

Why is it pure class? Sounds like he doesn't want to attend the games. If I were AD, TO would have skybox seats for life. Is he really thinking of the program here? I'm not dogging him. Just reading between the lines.
That seems like way more than reading between the lines. I think you're reading an entirely different book. He says in the article he still plans to attend games and supports everyone. I think it's the right thing to do also because let's say he passes away - and the University has an awkward situation on their hands when they ask to take it from the Osborne family. This makes a clean transition and Osborne gets out of the way properly.
Is he planning on dying soon? He's got to watch the game somewhere (if he wants to watch the game). I can't see him attending every game (at his age) outside. So, what's the point of giving the skybox back to the athletic department? You're right. Most likely it's a non-starter. Just sounds like he doesn't want to attend the games any longer.
Still classy even if he will be going to less games. Could have went all nepotistic with it, but decided not and allow the University to make money off it.
I made my observation. Don't see how it's pure class. Not looking for a fight. So, I guess it's just conversation.
At his age, I don't see myself attending any games. I'm sure he has a nice couch and TV.
He probably would rather not fight the crowds and sit home and do shots and drink beer while watching it on TV.
Oh wait, that's me.
Oh wait, that's me.
Now, if TO called me up and said I could use his suite indefinitely than yes, pure class.
Now you are acting like the "class" clown. Winking
Unfortunately there's more and more people starting to think that way. Can we keep the streak going even with corporate help?He probably would rather not fight the crowds and sit home and do shots and drink beer while watching it on TV.
Oh wait, that's me.
That is one of the reasons why Nebraska is widening the seats in the north stadium to make it more comfortable for fans. Wider seats also will help with continuing the sellout streak. Winking
Are the fans getting wider in the North Section?
Well...they are sitting closer to the North Pole and might need extra layers. Winking
if TO wants to sit in a suite, Im sure every suite owner would let him in.

Is he going to get a suite for UCF football?

Actually sec.16 in SEZ. Seems like it's a tighter squeeze than it was 30 years ago.
Fixed it for you. BTW...why isn't this pic in the Bookie thread?
Oh my gosh Bookie has a Florida hat on!
Don't you and your wifeband or huswife have some emails to send Coach Osborne? Maybe share a chuckle.
I gave up the company Astros tickets because they were rarely used and it took too much effort to give them away on a regular basis.
I know, I know, class personified.
I know, I know, class personified.
Makes me wonder how many more comp boxes are out there. TO doesn't need a skybox for his lonesome and very few connected to UNL need a personal skybox.
Hey, I'm thinking about giving the guy a call, invite him to a tailgate, throw back some Old Mil lights and a couple dozen wings. We're both about the same age. What can it hurt.He probably would rather not fight the crowds and sit home and do shots and drink beer while watching it on TV.
Oh wait, that's me.
NU continues to charge a "donation" for season tickets. Either they arent worried or are idiots. Id go with the latter.
