Nice little Oregonian Write-Up

Check it: http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2011/11/university_of_portland_takes_a.html

Apparently we are really aggressive, but I don't mind.

"In our advertising, we will not be taking shots at the NBA or the Blazers"

Thanks for the sanctimonious drivel, PSU

I found it interesting that while UP was smartly going all-out on the hoops season ticket discount on OregonLive, PSU has been advertsing almost as much for their football program, which only has 1 home game left (this Saturday)... I think our marketing plan is MUCH more appropriate, with a full season of home games still ahead... The PSU football blitz for only 1 game seems to be a total waste; they should have been advertising basketball this time of year, too. (Their loss & our gain...)

I have heard that the plan is in fact selling tickets!

Yeah, but the new folks probably don't know about the $3 beers in the Pilot Club.


Oh, wait...

I'm bringing Tupperware to the next game to load up on pokies & snack mix, in case they pull those, too...

Instead we will be talking about our high school gym and our schedule featuring massive games with Linfield and Walla Walla coming up.

They drew 827 for Tuesday's game so whatever marketing plan they have must be working wonders.

Head straight to the health center. Ask to have your Lithium levels checked.

Mildred said she was busy all day with another patient. Something about no more beer in the Pilot Club.

Per an email the AD office just sent out, looks like you'll still get your snacks:

- Pilot Club: The Pilot Club will again be located on the upper level south mezzanine, but will now be open and available for pre-game gatherings starting 90 minutes before tip-off in addition to halftime. Alcohol will no longer be served in this section — per WCC rules — but complementary snacks and soft drinks will still be served. Bistro-style tables and four flat screen 50-inch televisions that have both DIRECTV and in-arena video feeds will provide a fun and entertaining atmosphere for Pilot Club members to enjoy.

Four TVs? Now if they just had some recliners!

Why is the WCC cracking down on booze?

Much as I like conspiracies, supposedly this policy is one the WCC has been pushing for a few years.

Note that they are mostly interested in not having booze it public venues.

The are still fine with booze in the skyboxes in Vegas.

There will still be beer in the HOF room at Chiles for $1,000+ donors. "They" just don't want us commoners to have beer.

I think it's about time for us 99%ers to occupy!

And don't forget we've got Woodless across the street at the Alumni House -- but that might just be for Alums, blacksheep
