[NU Sports] NU fans jump the gun (fwd)

[szeller at comcast.net]

For any of you concerned about NU selling its allotment, go on to NUSports.com and buy a donation ticket to the Sun Bowl. You can donate the ticket to a serviceman at the nearby base, or to a student, all online. It is only $37 and each ticket counts towards our total. You get a little donation in before the end of the year, and maybe one of our soldiers gets to go to a football game for free.

It felt good to do this on so many levels. Rather than complaining about other fans, we can all do this little bit and make selling our allotment a moot point.
