[Husker] count me in

[Mike Jaixen]

My wife talked to another season ticket holder last
night and they had already decided to not renew their
season tickets; she had wanted them to drop their
tickets before this season.  We shall see if that plan
holds true after thinking about it for a few months.

My understanding is that before this season, the donor
list already had their tickets and non-donors on the
waiting list were being offered season tickets, though
they were being asked to donate $300 for each pair of
tickets.

For those people who say that they would do "anything"
for season tickets, and believe that this is just a
speed bump on the path back to glory, I would suggest
that now is the opportunity that you've been looking
for.  Get your checkbooks ready.

Personally, this coaching staff and athletic director
can't get rid of me THIS easily.  :-)  I'll be back
next year!
