Tomorrow I will start to advertise outside of the yard for students. I will contact the daily campus and Twitter, etc. If you see a tweet from me, please pass it on.

Stop by the ticket office to pick up a FREE ticket to the @StPeteBowl as @UConnFootball takes on Marshall. Just need your ID #bleedblue

I kicked in a little bit. Not as much as I'd have liked since you guys generously sent me to the Fiesta Bowl but finances are a bit tight and I'm still trying to figure out if I can get myself there.

I see the tickets are free for students. Hopefully we can figure out a way to put the money towards flights and hotels.

Done at $100 too!

So, wait....we didn't get a single student to bite?

 

[Jarhead_1775]

Nope. Not one.

I should have registered my wife and I for a cooking or basketweaving class. Adios kids...you're on your own this Christmas!

You'll be able to see in the other threads that we had no interest from students in the contest. In lieu of sending the students, I didn't feel it was right for me to decide what to do with your money. Thanks for your participation and perhaps donate the money to the school instead. Thanks!

Disappointing but it is what it is. I'll be there!

 

[junglehusky]

Not surprising given the date/time. Let's do it again next year!

Day after Christmas is just brutal. At 11 AM no less. Tough to fly out the day off as any delay and you're basically screwed. And tough for a kid to say "Adios mom and dad" on Christmas.

I agree about the date and time, I'm looking forward to a New Year's Day bowl
