Ummm, yeah, sir? I’d Like to Return this Pile of Crap.

Stanford is desperate for fans to show up for football games. So desperate, in fact, that they’re offering refund plans for those fans that deem the entertainment experience to be lacking.

Ugh. Rock bottom? Uhhhh, yeah.

 

They already have tried the obvious things – beating USC, organic hot dogs, free tickets for students. Now money back.

How depressing must it be to be a Stanford football player and hear this? What’s the running dialogue in a player’s head as he plays in that kind of an environment?

Okay, Red 48 Z, on two. Got it. That’s me baby – I’m gonna take it to the house on this play. I gotta. Cuz seriously, if I don’t, these people are gonna ask for refunds. They’re gonna REFUND MY A$$! Oh shoot, he snapped the ball! Okay USC linebacker, I’m going to put a spin move on you to up the entertainment value-

WHOOOOMP!

Well, I hope the fans consider me getting pancaked entertaining. Please don’t refund the tickets!

Coach Jim Harbaugh weighed in:

“It’s good motivation for us, but that motivation is already there,” Cardinal coach Jim Harbaugh said. “We definitely want to give fans their money’s worth.”

Let me translate that for you: “This is freaking embarrassing, but if I don’t say this the AD and the University President will have my head on a platter. So yeah, this is the deal, and it sucks.”

This is another reason why I’m so thankful to be a Notre Dame fan. Last year we were 3-9. Was it easier to get tix at the end of the season? Yes. Was it so easy that the administration was considering money back or any other gimmick? No, and never. Thank the Lord.

And Stanford fans, don’t forget to read the fine print:

“Refund must be requested and tickets turned in before the USC game on Nov. 15.”
