Couldn't agree more. Absolute no brainer. At least the marketing crew did something other than football. Finally. Too bad it didn't make the athletics department any money. Discounted tickets sold at a free event...not sure why we are celebrating that a lot of people showed up for that...

Good to see Chad and Taylor back in town though. Great to see Ginipro winning like he did last year. Great program. Now only if we could actually market volleyball and the team to get people to matches. Or we could just get a different concert to sell discounted tickets at each match. Surely the marketing budget for this is more than $5. Let's spend it and get some people there to every match!
