Message: [QUOTE="The_Slant_Su, post: 884296, member: 1970"] After reading the General's great analysis last night, I went to bed thinking I need to start reading this board more often, I've really missed reading intelligent insight like that. However, then I read this thread 24hrs later and it just really rubs me the wrong way for some reason. It sounds elitist. If someone who otherwise can't afford season tickets, buys season tickets and sells their duke tickets to pay for 1/2 their costs... I call that person a smart person and a dedicated fan. You call them a traitor? Others in the thread complain about people buying season tickets who a fair weather fans... I applaud these people because they help keep the dome inflated, their money is always welcome. (Of course this doesn't apply to the jack-wagon who shows up three games a year and tells you to sit down) I personally think this thread is silly, & in la la land! Even stranger to me... You wouldn't allow your friend who might be an alumnus or god forbid a fan of another team join you in your day of fun at the dome. Friends come in all flavors and diversity isn't such a bad thing, in fact it may even do you some good. Competitiveness is Fun! Honestly, if you are confident in your team and yourself, you would invite your friend who happens to be a UNC or whoever fan to the dome for a drubbing. It is a big impressive place that should be shared with everyone. Maybe they even return the favor someday and invite you as a cuse fan. Posters complain the so called fair weather fans, sell their seats to a seriously devoted college basketball fan who is willing to travel! Cool right? At least a devoted fan is coming? Yep this also makes people mad. Yet when the fair weather fan shows up for three games a year you complain about that too? Many of these "fair weather" fans are company guys who get the seats when they get them, and some buy others when they don't get em. IMO anyone who sold their seats to the enemy on purpose is just smart, they get more money for the same product, some of these smart people then probably spent that money to buy seats elsewhere in the dome and even some of them might have even invited a friend who roots for the opposition. Complaining about capitalism and ingenuity is shaky potatoes at best. We are a hotter program than almost everyone right now and we should open our doors to anyone willing to pay, just to see how hot we are. So imagine you lived in Chapel Hill and your friends blew you off the week Cuse came to town... Nice Friends! The whole discussion sounds like the small fry... like a Georgetown selling 10 packs to keep us out of their building. Sounds like the Syracuse the inferiority complex is rearing its head. We are elite and we need to act like it. [/QUOTE]
