Big 10 Tour members defects to see a Pac 10 team play a team who has already lost to a Big 10 team
As you can probably guess, the television networks think the USC/Notre Dame game is a bigger deal than Purdue/Ohio State. As you read this, you probably agree with the networks, but then again you didn’t agree to become part of the Big 10 Tour.
Last week, the members of the Big 10 Tour received the following email from one of their members with parenthesis around the what should have been said:
"I can't make it to the game on 10/17. Julie (co-worker) has tickets (from a vendor) to the USC-Notre Dame game that afternoon, and I was invited along...I couldn't turn down the opportunity to see that game.
I'll send you the contact info for (a person that you’ve never met nor ever spoken to), but I don't want to ask for more (even though I didn’t ask for these) tickets since they are giving me tickets to one of the biggest, if not the biggest, college football rivalry game. I would feel awkward asking for something on top of a ticket like that (even though I agreed to help the Big 10 Tour and am clearly only helping myself here).
However, if you (not me, who knows this person) can spin an
e-mail with the website, we're looking for help, we work (with others you know), then you (even though I want to be part of the “you” when other games come around) might be able to score tickets to Wisconsin and possibly other teams that (vendor) sponsors."
Now as you can probably guess this irritated many of the “tour” members as we all agreed to attend as many games as possible. “Found a more appealing game to attend” doesn’t qualify as a valid excuse. Unfortunately when a single person drops from the fold, everyone’s expenses increase & is responsible for doing more.
So Purdue – email us – what do you think about Wes’ decision to shaft your school? The best comments will be posted on an upcoming blog post!
