#HuskyUp: Stepping Up with Proxy Season's Passes

As an example of the noteworthy submissions I've received thus far, I present the following with permission of the submitter. This is his/her idea of how I my wife and I would spend game day at the Rent . . .
  • Wake up on a beautiful, cold Saturday morning on December 6th. SMU is the last home game of the season. We win this game and we're 12-0. We win this game, and we most likely will still not be selected for the 4-team Playoff. But I digress, this isn't about politics.
  • I walk down the hall to the bathroom. I stare in the mirror. I stare out the window. There's snow on the ground - perfect.
  • I decide to keep my 4 month-old victory beard going. Its currently at my nipples. Long, brown/gray beauty. I tie 3 rubber bands into it like Dumbledore.
  • I packed the truck the night before - so the only thing I need to pack is myself, my friends (a few, might I add, are females. Husky fan females. Jackpot), and the meat of course.
  • We drive to the Rent.
  • I park.
  • I realize we're the only ones here. I then look at the clock - its 3:37am.
  • I build a fire with flint, nearby brush from a bush, and a bench from outside of Cabelas. It is warm.
  • We quickly burn through our barbecue ribs, burgers, hot dogs, pulled pork, and my friend's horse meat (He always cooks the meat of the opposing team's mascot during tailgating. The Pirates and Black Knights tasted horrible).
  • I stand outside of Cabelas until it opens - I buy buffalo burgers. Excellent choice. Colorado is the #1 seed in the Playoff and our likely opponent. I pack them away.
  • I buy regular burgers. Still an excellent choice.
  • Finally other Husky fans begin to arrive. The tailgating goes great. Great fun, great food, great friends, great beer, and great weather. Its a little chilly, but the weather was never meant for a Texas mustang anyway.
  • It is soon time to enter the stadium. The Rent.
  • We made it.
  • I sit down.
  • The game begins. The opening kickoff goes to SMU. The first play from scrimmage is a deep ball towards the sidelines. Obi picks it off. Runs it back to the house. 6-0.
  • We then keep the pressure on with Max and Cochran - quickly the game is put out of reach. Its 34-13. We win.
  • I am happier than an Alabama football player on a payday.
  • It is the best day in the world - we win the AAC and we *fingers crossed* take a spot in the Playoff.
  • Both the ACC and the Big10 commissioners arrive to the Rent and offer us spots in their leagues.
  • I drive home. I sleep.
  • I wake up - we secured a spot in the Playoff. I break down in hysterical happiness.
Epic. Thank you. :cool:
 
That's awesome. I would love to read some of the entries that you're getting! If you decide to assemble any form of selection panel, I humbly submit my name to be on the committee.

12-0?

I thought HuskyfanDan97 already had season tix . :cool:
 
THANK YOU to another popular BY poster who yesterday graciously donated an additional 2 "Top of The Rent" season tickets (no parking) to compliment my offer of the 2 preferred seats. I'd like to call out his/her BY handle but haven't heard back from them if they're ok with that yet. I'm grateful and I'm sure the deserving recipient(s) will be as well. It's a good thing, too, because the number and quality of submissions I've received so far make choosing one winner nearly impossible. Winners of all 4 season's tix will be determined within the next week. #HuskyUp!
 
LAST CALL today for submissions for the complimentary season's passes. Just message me at cttxus on this board. Judging of all the entries will commence this evening and winners will be notified soon afterwards. Thank you to all who've submitted entries so far. Well done and #HuskyUp!

Quick update on the proxy ticket contest. Two sets of season's passes have been awarded to very appreciative recipients as of today. At least one other set should be awarded very soon. Many thanks to the two BYers and spouse(s) who stepped up with the tickets! You're literally creating new Husky football fans and even helping with some challenging life circumstances. I'm hoping some of the recipients will post pictures of their tailgating and game experiences, and maybe even hook up with some other BYers at the games. More to come later. BTW, if anyone else cares to donate any type of tickets please PM me ASAP. There are still several contest entrants remaining that could use the tix. Thanks again and #HuskyUp!

Awesome job, cttxus. Just like our Huskies adapting a team-first mentality, this shows a similar team-first mentality from the fanbase! We were together during the last few difficult seasons and now it is time to #HuskyUp together. Here's to hoping we can all enjoy some enjoyable days/nights this fall!!
