youre probably right BYD...I only posted a followup because I wasnt sure if anyone could help a friend of mine give her patient (who has never been to a football game) the same opportunity that the wife and I were blessed with last weekend, but this is obviously (as with 95% of the discussions here) headed toward something that is completely against the intent I had hoped for with my followup post so this will be the last time I attempt such a thing...and since there is no SMH smiley I will just use this one:

I have friends that need season tickets forever. Ive (been to lots of football games).

[thepostman]

Did you know them last week?

[Purple Haize]

How much is a GA ticket? $10? $15?

[SuperJon]

Anyone wanna pay for my hotel room, food, and tickets for homecoming? It'd be greatly appreciated.

You can stay in Gii'ville for free. I think the Chancellor or Athletic Dept pays for pizza to be delivered.....so I took care of 2 out of 3

[SuperJon]

But I can't do the same things that I'd be doing on vacation with my wife in Gillville. That'd be awkward.

It doesn't stop the students.......or SMOOTH and PA for that matter....

Wait free homecoming tickets??? I need some too. I'll be waiting anxiously for an email from the athletic deptartment.

$20 for the general public, $10 for a student's guest.

Bj took my advice and emailed the AD (per his pm). No luck. Sorry guys.

Maybe Liberty can pay your airfare. Never hurts to ask!

Don't you know NEVER to divulge the content, let alone acknowledge a PM from BJ you are so in trouble!

[thepostman]

You're as good as dead

[JK37]

Seriously, I keep asking myself: How much are tickets?? $20 apiece? In today's America, you better be without housing to not be able to cut corners for a one-time entertainment of $40. Heck, that's what CREDIT CARDS are for!

(I'm only half joking.)

[thepostman]

I can understand someone not being able to justify spending money on a sporting event. Also, If I was dying and someone came on a message board begging people I didn't know for a handout I would not be exactly happy. That would be compounded even more if I found out that same person begging for a handout for me actually had free tickets the following week.

Very interesting to say the least

[BJWilliams]

Id see your point postman if you actually took the time to talk to my friend. She knew we had the tickets but she didnt accept them. Also, she thought it very sweet that I took the time to reach out and help them by trying to find tickets so that all four of us could go to the game together. As it turned out, she wasn't able to come to yesterday's game anyway (she had to get prepared for back surgery...complications from the epidural she got when she gave birth earlier this year).

Do your research before you make comments like that for future reference.

[thepostman]

I was sticking up for your friend.

[BJWilliams]

If you knew Ashleigh (the friend's name) like I know her, you would learn that she doesnt need anyone to stick up for her postie. Anyway, she wasn't offended that we went to the game, and is hoping to go with us to a game down the road once she gets her back figured out.

[Purple Haize]

I don't even know why we charge admission at all. Isn't LU a ministry after all?

[thepostman]

Ok, if she doesn't need anybody sticking up for her then she probably would prefer someone not coming on a message board begging for help.

Which is exactly my point. You keep making my point for me, so I do appreciate that!

[BJWilliams]

Well as I said, she actually appreciated what I did. If you had actually talked to her about it, which you didnt otherwise you probably would not have made the point you did, you would have heard that from her personally, which is why I said to do your research (as in talk to people) before you cast those kind of aspersions on someone you havent ever met before.

[thepostman]

How should I do this research? Stalk her on facebook? Hide in the bushes?? Please educate me on how to do proper research on someone who is probably way too kind to say what you did was slightly over the top because as you have pointed out she is very kind.

You're missing the point anyways. As always, I love you beej, you make this place interesting to say the least!

I saw several ways out of this predicament without posting a sob story on FF. but it's been awesome watching it unfold. The EQ of some posters is fun to compare and contrast.

[BJWilliams]

What's done is done. I'll seek out other ways to help my friend out once her back is feeling better (reason already explained) but Im through trying to explain anything that frankly shouldnt have needed explaining.
