ParticipantPolitics shmolotics, the biggest waste of time I can think of. I was about to permanently ignore this thread because of the political overtones until allan and urban mentioned some of my favorite things, hot brazillian chicks, being one of them. I did an image search and yowsa!!! I still believe that Christina Hendricks is proof that a higher power exists because evoloution can’t be that good. I also agree with Bill Simmons that the phrase “on a scale of one to ten” should be permanently changed to “on a scale of one to Christina Hendricks nude scene.”
But Morena is in that same conversation of “permanent phrase changes.”
So now if I find a genie in a bottle, my first two wishes are already allocated.

ParticipantMy complaints weren’t so much a question about how to get to the game it was a comparison about how other towns and other teams handle it so much better, either by stadium design, parking lot capacity or traffic control/traffic direction. Go to the del mar fair, there will be a sign and somebody pointing where to go, large venues usually have some sort of plan in place. Qualcomm is not user friendly, they make me want to watch on television.
As far as college football goes, I realize most of you do not feel it is important but at many universities in the country, they use their football teams for both revenue and alumni donations, the football team doesn’t take away from the academics, they add to it. Look at programs like Notre Dame or USC, the revnue from the football team supports most of the other sports, activities and a chunk of the academics. If SDSU has the right product, made the right investments, they could buy five libraries and open them 24 hours a day. How many people that have never attended a university give money to those universities through television revenue, tickets and merchandise because of the football team. They do not give money freely because of a great library, but with a great football team you can afford a great library.
Here’s an article from 2007, taken from forbes for notre dame’s website

Of the 45 million dollar profit from the football team, 20 million of it goes towards academics, students who never watch a game, benefit from it, I’ll bet their library doesn’t close on weekends.

ParticipantOn a side note, I went to the charger/raider game on sunday. San diego deserves to lose the chargers. The stadium isn’t the problem, the cheapo city is the problem. Not one guy directing traffic on friars road, took 90 minutes to go 2 miles, you had to park miles away and walk, no shuttles, no signs, nothing. Then, after walking 2 miles, the parking lot that was closed because it was full was half empty. Why? because most of the knuckleheads in the parking lot didn’t have tickets, they just bought a parking spot to drink and left when the game started. 70k seats, 18k parking spots, nice plan. Every parolee in the county was there and they weren’t all raider fans. Total cost for two people, $300, nice game but nothing else nice to say about it and I’m an optimist. Staples, dodger stadium, angels stadium, all great venues and well run, qualcom makes the old forum in inglewood look fantastic. It pains me to say it but Los angeles runs it’s sports venues so much better than SD, how is that possible, everything about LA sucks compared to SD but SD cannot seem to figure it out. I’ll let you know how my experience differs when I attend my first City of Industry Chargers game. I hate to sound grumpy, but I’m done taking crap for my town from SD, the Temecula Baloon and wine festival has more staff and is better organized than a charger game, it’s mind boggling.

ParticipantIt really bothers me as an Aztec alumn that they cannot get it together. 20 years ago the games seemed packed, the fraternities and sororities each had their own sections, actually I remember as a frat boy that you were fined for missing the game and pledges had to put up and guard the banners. Rarely were fines issued, you wanted to go. There were chartered double decker busses complete with onboard kegs to and from the game. But the school has spent a great deal of energy trying to squash the greeks and change their image, whilst putting very little emphasis on putting out a quality football team. While i was there they eliminated frat parties open to all students, eliminated alcohol from rush week and since i left, my fraternity house and many other fell to the bulldozers. Why? A couple of mishaps and a little bad press, that is what college is for, they will not get my support until they repent and they earn it back. It seems amazing to me that schools like fresno and utah can out recruit SDSU, there is probably no place on the planet that a 18 year old would rather be than SDSU, yet they fail to put the icing on a perfect cake. San Diego has very little collegiate sports offerings while places with little or no geopgraphical appeal remain powerhouses. Explain how fresno out recruits san diego, try, it’s impossible to put the blame anywhere but the administration.
