This should never happen.

Yea typos and mistakes should never happen. I know I am perfect. Why can’t they be.

Hated to call you out but, thanks for getting corrected ad copy to me so quickly!

I’m sure there is a reasonable excuse....err explanation.

Ever heard of proof reading?

Yea and things get missed on proofreading all the time. Almost every book I read I find things. There are a lot of things to complain about. When you complain about literally everything you lose credibility.

When you publish incorrect dates for special events you lose credibility. This is not the first time. Think a second, missed after proofreading. They need new proof readers. Your an institution of higher learning for crying out loud.

The worst one was the first presentation to CUSA seeking admission into the conference. There was a section in there that listed a city other than Huntington, WV for where Marshall is located.

Thank you. First game of the 2019 season vs. a huge OOC opponent. This wasn’t the usual BRAA function announcement. What if someone didn’t bother to read the corrected email thinking it was a duplication (which has also happened before)? Then made non-refundable discount flight and hotel arrangements?

Some of you would rationalize anything. But then again, we get what we get.

 

[MT-PAIN]

Overreaction guys.

Mediocrity. Bowl eligible. Co-champs.

They got it within the same month...that should be close enough.

Sorry I couldn’t resist..

 

[blueraiderJT]

Why is there a promotion for this away game and not for TSU or Duke, our first 2 home games? Sheesh.

I’m sure crposten has a reasonable excuse.

Just give him a minute to call CM

First of all - Terrible to get the date wrong in the email. There is no excuse for that kind of mistake. But I think complaining about this promotion in general is a bit of a stretch in trying to find something to harp on. We have a lot of fans interested in making the trip to The Big House and they need to know the deadline to get MT section tickets is coming soon. We've still got plenty of time to promote season tickets and individual game tickets for our home games.

 

[sWiley]

Not sure why anyone would want to go to this. Michigan notoriously hammers schools like us at home. I'm expecting something to the tune of 63-3.

No thanks.

I think if you are going to complain in a thread about a typo you should at least make sure you do not have any.

 

[sWiley]

And despite a likely @$$ beating, we need to go up there with an App St.-like mentality thinking upset. Seems pretty unlikely though considering how poorly we always play in the beginning of the season under Stockstill

Please elaborate. What was my typo? Leaving off a period?

 

[crposton]

Misspelling my name.

Please accept my apologies if that offended you. Want a cookie?

I am not offended by typos. Depends on what kind of cookie.

 

[blueboro007]

Is kind of funny you made such a big deal about a typo but then proceeded to do it yourself...then got defensive about it.

 

[blueraiderJT]

Promoting an a$$ whooping body bag game but not the first 2 home games with an old foe and a P5 game at JRF. It's not complaining. It's dumb marketing that supports bad attendance.

Original post in this thread was not complaining about the marketing. It was complaining about a typo. They should promote all games.

You’re right. Nothing is a big deal to this Athletic Dept. Be it scheduling, marketing, Football conference titles, actually winning bowl games, setting high expectations of the Head Coach etc., etc., etc.

That Michigan game email was probably drafted by a future AD who is an unpaid (or underpaid) GA in a Masters of Sports Mgmnt degree track. The kid probably had a paper due or final exams to worry about.

They should. But they're not. They are promoting this game over the first 2 opportunities to get attendance to our games. Hence, the stupid marketing move. 8,000 per game. Go Blue!

 

[SpaceRaider]

promoting this away game probably has some economic impact. Maybe tickets sold make up some of the revenue in the contract. Just a suspicion.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Personally I’d rather sit through a Rutgers vs whoever game than watch the destruction by Michigan.

This is a message board. The marketing email is from an institution of higher education.
