I would have to give $9000.00 to get into top 1500 rank of Bulldog club.
The fact they are letting people do this at this point of the season sucks.
Loyalty means nothing.
Hope they make enough extra for all the people they are going to piss off.
If I can't get SEC championship tickets sitting at near 3000 then I am probably done.
Yeah I know we are not there yet but they are picking a hell of a week to bring this crap up.
I haven't watched it yet, but I will. But how do you propose they do it?what is the right way?
Eta, and what does loyalty means nothing mean?
Loyalty
If I have been in bulldog club for 15 years & bought season tickets, increased giving, bought post season tickets, & then then someone who joined last year can pay more to bulldog club at end of great season & jump ahead of me in pecking order for tickets. Should be based on this years ranking & giving.

On video it states you can give more to bulldog club at this time to help you in standing for tickets.
In past the post season tickets were based on current bulldog club rank.
I watched it- no big deal to me. They are trying to raise some more money while we are on top- nothing wrong w that. The end result won't drop that many people. Yea some might get pissed but money makes the world go around.
there is a precedent for this...
I know some older guy that had been in Tide Pride (Bammer's Donor/Ticket Program) for a Bajillion years couldn't get tickets to a post season game because politicians were given preference...
He sued.... not sure how it turned out though...
right now, $25K will get you to the head of the waiting list for season tickets.

Donors are fickle bastards.
So you propose those who give more for longer therby contributing a higher amount of their personal income to move over and allow people who give less for less time to reap the benefits of those nasty rich people?
I bet you vote democrat. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
DogFather, that's not "my bag" at all... it's just the nature of the beast... I don't dig it, man...Quote:

I knew I should have saved my money & time during Croom's tenure & just started over after that.
Motion to move to Political Board immediatelyQuote:

I'm pretty sure we have had post season priority ticket deadlines since they moved to the priority points system. We quit publishing brochures a few years ago, but I found one from early in Mullen's tenure that clearly shows a November 15th deadline for football postseason priority. It's suddenly being noticed b/c it now matters, but it's not new and shouldn't be used to make the athletic department suddenly appear evil.
Not sure if the below link will work, but if it does you can take a look for yourself.

Elephantiitis has great points. We are on the cusp of taking over the SEC, yet our blue hairs want to continue showing up to SIT DOWN THE ENTIRE GAME AND ACT LIKE ITS A SUNDAY SERMON.Quote:

Whatever the costs or sacrifices, I've been through enough and do not want to miss a game. I am not missing any Mississippi State Football event for a title, period. Enjoy this, but also get used to this as we will see these types of expenses for years to come.

15 years and you are at 3000? Ummm......if you bought season tickets for 15 years and contributed every year, Im not even sure how that is even possible. Even if you only gave $100 a year. My brother started the BC THIS year, got 4 scoreboard club tickets and is 2500.Quote:

I guess a veteran has to know his place & sacrifice for everyone else in this situation.
Guess I should have been giving a third of my yearly income to BDC all these years instead of doing trivial things like providing a House for my Family.
