Anth has never camped in his life, and never will. Refuses to.

He’s left of Bristol, and that’s the only time I’ll ever say that.
 
  • Taking the girls to see the Braves play tonight (woot-woot), which means we'll be seeing the Reds play too (ugh). I grew up seldom going to games and when I did it was the absolute worst seats in the park. My old man couldn't have been any cheaper about it, which basically threw off my enjoyment of going. I think his saying was, "we're not 'going to the game' people". Now, if I'm going to go, I'm going to get good seats. And damn it, I have good seats tonight.
  • Which brings me to my next point, F SeatGeek's fees / process to identify said fees. When you are searching for tickets it even says, "you pay X". Then you click the seats, click pay, enter your card number, then it adds the 30% service fee per ticket. So no, I'm not paying X. I'm paying X plus 30%. Just show the price - I don't care how you get there. I shopped around and found the all-in price was the best I was going to get, but it shouldn't be the process that it is.
  • I guess the discount is that my 5-year old boy doesn't want to go so I'm saving the price of his ticket. I'd be concerned, but he is currently crying / screaming / cursing / throwing stuff in the basement? Why? Because he can't be a certain level on some Mario game. Takes me back. #ProudDad
  • My first season as a head coach in 9-year old girls softball came to a painful halt as we lost on a walk-off in the quarterfinals (aka the first round). My daughter raked her and was all over the field defensively, but she can't cover for everybody. I guess she now knows how Mike Trout feels.
 
Teachers are like the cops - the bad ones ruin it for everyone else, and just like the cops the bad ones don’t get in trouble because of an oppressively powerful union - they actually get a 5k raise.

Ive been too embarrassed to ask but rudd posts the abbreviation atkot about 28 times a day and I have no idea what it means. It feels like when I didn’t know what 69 meant in the 4th grade for the first 3 months of school

Mormons are usually pretty hot. I asked one out to senior year prom and bragged to my buddies since she was pretty hot, my buddy stared at me and said “dude she’s Mormon?”
I relplied: “What the hell does that mean?”
His response: “It means she can’t even drink a coke dipshit”
suffice it to say my prom ended in disappointment

Taking my elderly parents out to eat for a quick lunch has turned into an incredible production. Quite frankly with 2 toddlers everything is a GD production. Going out to dinner requires as much getting ready and packing as if I were going on a 5 day vacation by myself. This time of life is very exhausting atkot

Anth doesn't think I'm manly, and the guy who doesn't do anything and had everything in life handed to him doesn't think I'm good at my job. Anyone else who's the last person alive who should be speaking on a topic want to take a shot? Maybe Bbdk thinks I'm thinning out up top?

You're a whiny f***ing bitch on the internet, you big pussy.

I do love you but that chart is scientific.
 
NIL seems like it might finally break Barnhart. Hard to believe he has been here for almost two decades. Id say 22' is his swan song. Hell of a run sans drunk hobo imo.
 
Churchill Downs just built a $150M harness track with a HHR slots casino and simulcast betting room 15 minutes from my house in Christian County. It would be beyond awesome to be able to bet a game(s) there while having a couple of drinks with some buddies and then watch the game there. But no, the state says we are too irresponsible to have access to a sports book because the family foundation says so. Just because you can bet with a bookie doesn't excuse the stupidity of this type of thinking. If the family foundation had it's way, they would outlaw bourbon too.

Pretty much. While he's a Ned Flanders level dork, the guy has been an amazing athletic director. Even with his biggest mistakes (Billy Clyde and Joker Phillips), he fixed the mistake ASAP and hired a HOF replacement.

I can't stand him but he's an absolutely top notch AD.

And Joker, and Cal's opening press conference, and Cal basically having to have his own AD, and no alcohol despite everyone else in the SEC approving.

I never use those sites for tickets. Here is a little secret. Go to park with whatever you are willing to spend on “good seats”. Wait until it’s close to game time, find a few scalpers, they always have good tix, “here is what I’ll pay” and if they don’t like it walk away. They will sell the closer it gets to opening pitch at your price. I once had a scalper chase me down after I told him I’d give him 100.00 for 2 seats, 8 rows behind the Cubs dugout that he was asking 250.00 for the pair.....and that was in St. Louis, at GABP you should be golden. I never go to the park with tickets in hand and I’ve always been able to get field level seats (unless my financial advisor gives me his suite tickets for Cubs/Cards because he knows we are all Cubs fans, well except for the granddaughter she not crazy *ducks*)

Speaking of scalpers you all think the old guy who use to scalp at the bus stop in the Blue Lot is still alive? Don’t think I ever paid more than $20 for that guys tickets
 
Did august-breast really just give a 2,000 word essay explaining how to scalp tickets?

Thanks, bro. We had no idea.

He has a point though

I’m of the Uncle Ben mind that it “always works out”…and it does.

I’ve been to 500 events without tickets. On every price level.

Has anyone ever been left outside for kick/tip that you wanted to attend? I sure haven’t.

You’ll get one at fair value or better every single time. May cause you some extry buzzer stress…but it shouldn’t. Have some cash and be social pregame, and you’ll be fine every time.

my soon-to-be 17 year old broke out a 4Loco Gold and plunked down with me. That shit is terrible. Kids.

seeing Mitch talk about NIL, makes me think he’s not too comfortable with the student-athlete out earning him. Meh.

little man (7) has a cold and fears he has Covid. Thanks China.

Most of the time I get the whole “man your killing me, you know how much these tickets are?”. Well, yeah, but either take the cash or rip up the tickets and throw them away, the game is starting in 2 minutes. I’m obviously paying above face but less than what they have in them, so whatevs. I may not always see the first pitch/tip/kickoff but it’s a small price to pay (and that is coming from a dude who worships those 3 things)
