Bowl Game Challenge to Everyone: You + 2!

[___ Eats It]

Ok... since the bowl announcement is right around the corner, I've decided to issue a challenge to everyone on this board... hopefully, if you have the means, you'll take part in this.

THE YOU PLUS TWO CHALLENGE

Basically, here's the deal.  To help USF's showing in both Ticket Sales and Attendance, I'm issuing the YOU PLUS TWO challenge.  Buy your tickets to the bowl game, and buy an extra pair to donate either to students or to the charity determined by USF.

If the Birmingham Bowl tickets are $30 each, that's a $60 committment that will help someone attend the game who may not otherwise, plus increase USF's ticket sales and bowl reputation for further bowls.

BUY YOUR TICKETS, THEN BUY TWO MORE!

Whether you like the bowl or the choice of opponent or not, the reality is this:  If we want USF to be a serious contender for future bowl game consideration, it's up to us as the "die hard fanbase" to do whatever we can to make the most favorable impression on the bowl committees.

I'm hereby committing to buying FOUR extra tickets to donate, possibly 6.

Who's with me?  We all like to talk a good game and ***** when we get slighted for things, so NOW is the time to step up and do something about it!

GO BULLS!

DANG Straight !

Thanx for calling us out !

I will be buying 2 tix for donation since I can not go, but want these tickets to be sued and have someone benefit.

STAMPEDE !!!

I may not buy 2 extra, but will probably buy one...

The only problem could be how do you 'donate' the tickets?

Eric, Vicky, or someone from Athletics will need to find a way to address the issue.  What is the best way for USF fans to "donate" tickets?  Would you prefer just to have the cash ??

[Don Toro]

I say we give the donated tickets to the people left waiting in line after that "Greek" guy buys 3,000 of them at once.  Yes, I'm up to the challenge! Good idea ___ Eats It!

I would love to hear if there's some plan for the donation and making sure that additional tickets I buy are donated in some sort of way that would put green and gold butts in seats. Otherwise, me purchasing two additional seats does little else than give me room to stretch my arms and legs.

If there is enough students wanting to go, donate to their organized trip.

It also helps USF who had to buy the block of tickets to get the bowl in the first place.

[BDYZR]

Done.

I agree with Jim. I'll have mine mailed to my house, but how would we get the extras into a DESERVING STUDENTS hand.

GO BULLS!

Wrong:  It helps USF not have to eat the cost of unsold tickets, plus it boosts the number of sold tickets that they can brag about to other bowls in the future.

We need to start thinking about the BIG PICTURE and how our actions today affect USF's bowl reputation in the future.  To paraphrase President Kennedy, "Ask not what USF can do (and has already done) for you... ask what you can do for USF!"

I agree, and I think a good way to ensure that our tickets are going to be used is by requesting proof of a hotel reservation, or flight itinerary/car rental from the person requesting the donation.
