It was supposed to be a shootout, so maybe he wanted to see some points. I didn't watch all of it but I remembered it as a decent defensive game, rather than an offensive struggle. <br /><br />At first glance of the article title my thoughts were pretty much mutual with yours. People pay outrageous prices to attend sporting events, but you always risk leaving the game unsatisfied. There is no guarantee on the ticket that your team will play well. I can't even guess how much money Roarty put up to see the maize and blue get destroyed by USC a few years ago in the Rose Bowl.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18350274089341755096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7548251571520626570.post-35086768851820138352009-09-23T17:06:22.319-04:002009-09-23T17:06:22.319-04:00Obviously I did not read it closely enough.

There is no statement in the article that said he it wasn't the performance on the field, but the punch, that annoyed him. <br /><br />Now I know I didn't read it closely enough the first time, but I have read it several times since. Seminary said "The product on the field Thursday night is not something I'm proud of." Oregon played a pretty terrible game, so I think the loss had something to do with it too. <br /><br />Thanks for the clarification, Greg. I still think it's a bad idea to send disgruntled fans money, whether it's out of principle or not.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02054912575434821066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7548251571520626570.post-36104412729092291002009-09-23T16:47:48.756-04:002009-09-23T16:47:48.756-04:00I loved that story but I don't think it had an...I loved that story but I don't think it had anything to do with the loss...he asked for his money back because an Oregon player punched a Boise St player then tried to attack the fans. He was disgusted with the class that his Ducks showed that night and that made him send the letter. Also this guy was a big time salesman and really just did it out of principle. He was so speachless that he sent the signed check back to Kelly uncashed with a thank you note.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18350274089341755096noreply@blogger.com
