They haven't even communicated that the BB game is moved to 10:00am.

 

Welcome Ron to our INSANE ASYLUM...if you ever need a gas-can, you only need to ask. I got stock!

Welcome to the jungle, Sir!

BTW, it's sad and pathetic that a new members first post is the one above. Athletic Department, if you are reading this, this is NOT okay!

What was the response you got?

The response I received was the following:

"You can use your basketball parking pass when you arrive. No additional parking purchase necessary for football."

HOF asked my to repost this from the Stony Brook thread

From the NCAA Pre-Championship Manual

START TIMES
Starting times shall be determined by ESPN in consultation with the NCAA and the host institution.
During the first three rounds of the championship, the NCAA will solicit the preferred starting times of host institutions.
However, games may start not earlier than 2 p.m. local time and shall be determined by ESPN.

 

Of course our 1:00 kickoff doesn't follow that rule

I can confirm I just got the same response. They are refunding me my $15 for FB parking but I'll just end up spending it at concessions to stay warm (gonna get me like 10 hot chocolates fam!).

Good for you guys.  So I guess you talked to the correct person and it is resolved.  Always best thing to do in my mind.

Or...or...and follow me on this...they could just get their s* together!

I think we all need to remember that our entry into the NCAA playoffs was announced yesterday [the committee had to make decisions Saturday night and the Pres stated they were up very late making them]] and it is now Monday.  U A obviously needed a little time to work things out, especially since, in light of NCAA rules for FB playoff games and times [ and the need to get permission to change the start time].  I would say they have actually done a good job trying to get everything worked out in 24-36 hours.  Let's chill a little...

Isn't there a separate section for off-topic rants like this current topic?  Let's keep it to the actual game people!

This is the internet. It wasn't really made to do chill. It's pretty much outrage only!

I think this is a fair statement.  The issue is that the ADept hasn't brought much good will for situations like this with some serious gaffes.  As for this game, I haven't even gotten full information on how to purchase game tickets...and I am a season ticket holder.

That said, let's move this thread BACK to the game.
