    I've heard a lot of dumb things in my time but this one ranks right up there. A fan as loyal and reliable as that is someone who should be catered to, not treated as if he's toting a Kalashnikov around the barn. In the next attempt to do everything an administration should not do, some khaki and polo wearing struntz will probably propose replacing banners with an electronic ring of honor. Oh, wait.
    I wish I am able to live long enough to do all the things I was attributed to.

      He is a dangerous man after all: has the ability to get crowds to follow him.
      So he has 2 sets, one for the men and one for the women? It would not surprise me with the anal anti-fun police at the door.

      Speaking of anti-fun police, at a women's game earlier this year we got yelled at for pounding the glass. We were told it was dangerous. I was in such shock I could not respond. It has not happened since, getting yelled at anyway. I have a response ready now....

      Speaking of pounding the glass, I recall at a PSU game ALL the glass was being pounded at some point in the game.

        Honestly, doesn't it just seem simpler all around for both Phil and security to just keep the numbers at the KC? Does it have to be The Man keeping Phil down?

        Speaking of The Man...

        A $63,000 suite comes with 16 tickets but only THREE parking passes. What's up with that, Barry? Do you think I'm freaking made of Escalades?

          Please rephrase question so it isn't a non sequitur.

            Out of curiosity what does this dollar figure include? Use of the suite for every event at the Kohl Center? Or just hockey? Are food and beverage extra costs or included?

              The KC has a policy against signs that nobody likes, but it's the policy. Rather than have each gate security person be able to identify Phil on sight, or have Phil explain his signs are within the rules, or exempted, ( I don't know as I haven't measured Phil's signs, but I think they are within the rules) Or have a mix up and have Phil try to explain who he is to security, (something I really doubt he wants to do) or have a guy in line behind Phil saying "How come he gets a sign and I don't?! ATTICA! ATTICA!" every game... perhaps it's simply less hassle for everyone including Phil to keep Phil's numbers at the KC. Also he doesn't have to ever wonder if he remembered them.

              That could certainly be wrong, but it seems a reasonable alternative explanation.

                Use of the suite for pretty much any event, 16 tickets to Men's and Women's BB and Men's Hockey, food and beverages are a la carte, and it's a minimum 3 year commitment to lease.

                  Solid points.

                    I thinks its Eaves fault! Or they could ask a local rink manager how he handled security

                    Oh nevermind, I am just ignorant, carry on.

                      I heard from someone in the ticket office that they have offered him tickets to do what he does, but he refused to not pay for his tickets. Instead, they dropped any convenience fees or processing charges or whatever you want to call those things.

                        Not sure if any of you are coming to Ann Arbor for this weekend's series- but game times are not exactly usual- Friday is our normal 7:35 face off, but Saturday's face off is 4pm.

                        If you are coming- safe travels.

                            It IS a Great Day for Hockey!

                            Michigan sports a 10-2 home record and it's going to be quite a challenge to get points on the weekend. But Rumps played well last weekend and I do think we're actually a little better on a smaller sheet. Probably because even though the game is faster, speed is less of an issue in a smaller space.

                            We're big underdogs but honestly, what's there to be afraid of? Certainly not these cuddly-wuddly guys:

                              Looks like a wombat.

                              I do think the smaller rink help's UW in the D zone as in less territory to lose your guy on. Hopefully the small rink also helps Soleway and the other physical guys to smash some corn colored jerseys into creamed corn.

                              I'm doing a double header the hard way, going to the gals game tonight and then watching the dvr of the lads when I get home. I encourage all the men's fans who are in driving distance to check out the gals tonight.

                              Let's to RED X 2.

                                Following up on my earlier post, thank-you to those that I was able to work purchases/trades with so far but unfortunately no trades for Tech jerseys... yet. Still about a dozen Badgers sweaters remaining. At least one of you much know a Tech fan with a gamer in their possession so let's make this happen.

                                If you have any questions, feel free to email me (info@johnsonsjerseys.net). If by chance any of you have a Michigan Tech game worn jersey, I would be happy to work out a trade with you. Other D-I teams would be considered as well. I am open to offers on the remaining jerseys. Just drop me a line and I'll discuss it with the owner. The worst they can say is "no thanks".
