When it looked like Cal would finally make the Rose Bowl for the first time in decades I purchased tickets when I had the opportunity, fearing if I waited there would be none left. It seemed like a safe investment: as long as Cal won its last game they would go. And if they lost, surely the team that got to go instead would be so thrilled that its fans would snap up the tickets, right?
Apparently not. I just found out last night how little my friend was able to get selling them. And that was after tremendous effort on his part, including on his birthday no less. Grrr...
Mack Brown is the Texas Longhorn's coach, whose abject lobbying affected the rankings and kept Cal from going to the Bowl.
You owe me $200.
Were it not for your shenanigans I would have been able to use the tickets I had to the Rose Bowl. But thanks to your wheeling and dealing, Cal got knocked from its rightful place in favor of your measly little team, so measly that no one could be bothered to show up for the game. That's right, the Rose Bowl, which otherwise is a sellout whenever the Pac10 is represented, had tons of tickets left over. Thereby destroying the resale value of mine. Tickets that, once Cal won at USM, should have been worth every penny. Instead, not only did legions of disappointed Cal fans like myself not get to see our team play, because legions of Texans stayed home I was left holding worthless tickets. Given your incredible conniving to force your team into the game, it speaks volumes that your fans were so uninterested in attending. Congratulations on winning a game no one cared about.
Get in touch and I'll tell you where to send the check.
