I went to pick up my tickets from the ticket office yesterday and the young lady who was dispersing the tickets was getting an ear full from a dude who I'm sure thought she was the one responsible for this mess. I felt bad for her as she was being as accommodating as she could, but still caught shit from this guy. Look, I'm not an apologist for the AD, but being in the service industry, I am cognizant of how things well intentioned can get screwed up. I'm not an insider either, so I don't really know what happened either. What I do know, is that from Rick on down to contract help, I'm sure this is not the way they wanted it rolled out. Has their been a history of unresponsiveness with some of you, yes. Should contingencies always be in place, yes. Was there organizational dysfunction? More than likely. IMHO, if you want to bitch, take it to the top where it is deserved and don't unload your venom on someone who is trying to do their best to correct a stupid situation. While not a totally new situation for the AD, we've never "hosted" a bowl game before. Just trying to give the benefit of the doubt when we're so quick to assign blame. I've been in those situations before and unfortunately, shit happens. I saw people in the ticket office yesterday who were doing the best they could to correct an unfortunate situation. I just happier than a pig in shit that we're going to a bowl game.
GO MEAN GREEN! BEAT THE HELL OUTTA UNLV!!
