OK....

but you could have saved yourself 63 words and just typed that first line in the pregame thread….

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

OR....

You could of posted a fanshot, exactly what it was created for.

There is no place like Nebraska - Go Huskers!

Or he could have posted it just as he did

so that people would see it quickly and get their tickets before they were gone.

Thanks plenz. If you find more tickets are released, please post again in the exact same fashion.

Post it in the FanShot section.

That’s just as easily accessible as this one.

Sent it several weeks ago....

have not heard a single thing.

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

But then....

I wouldn’t have seen this. Not everyone reads every post in every pregame thread. Seriously, not trying to offensive Santos… you crack me up.

What you could have done plenz is post a fanshot instead.

Anyway, thanks.

fair enough.

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

Agreed.

If you have a post to make and it doesn’t seem long enough for a full FanPost, post it in the FanShot section.

I’m open to suggestions as to how to make the FanShot section more visible.

I’m also changing the title of this post to reflect its contents better.

by Al on Aug 28, 2008 4:08 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

My suggestion Al...is to move the FanShots over to the left side of the homepage...

above the “top 100 Cubs” list? Maybe even see if your programming pals at SBNation could add the suggestion to create a FanShot to the “you need 75 words thing” if someone attempts to make a FanPost without 75 words.

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

by santoswoodenlegs on Aug 28, 2008 4:17 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I like the idea of programming

That if a user clicks “submit” on a fanpost that isn’t 75 words, it automatically becomes a fanshot instead.

There is no place like Nebraska - Go Huskers!

by sanantonecub on Aug 28, 2008 4:24 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

OK...

… I’ll move ’em to the left sidebar.

The other suggestion, you can send to support (at) sbnation (dot) com as a “feature request”.

OK...

… I’m locked into keeping FanShots on the right bar — that’s by SBN edict. I’ll see if I can get them to change it.

So sad

So I called and learned the tickets were ~$86 total for 2 bleacher tickets. Unfortunately, after coming back down to earth my friend and I realized that we just can’t afford it right now.

Out of all the years why do times have to be tough now!! Argh. So frustrating. Probably the last chance to get tickets this year too.

I’m sure I’m not alone in this situation. I’ll go cry in my beer now.

Assuming the Beer

is consumed in your home, then it will be cheaper. If you go to a bar though, you might as well of gotten the the tix.

by StevenABQ on Aug 28, 2008 5:01 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

$86 at the bar!

Now here’s a man who know’s how to drink!

ha ha

Thanks for posting!

The box office also had tons of good seats for Sept. 1. Was able to get terrace box – section 215. Looks like they are available for the entire Astro series.
