      Probably, but there is a difference between giving a naming donation and donating some money to PSC. They're both great things to do, but this goes further to prove my 'exalted' jab than I could have on my own. It's a gross overstatement to even attempt that analogy.

      Every school in the country gives the better seats to their donors....get over it...and if you don't like it than donate. Otherwise, keep your whiny P.O.S comments to yourself.
      I'm not going to bother to respond to that first part.

      First, you don't know that I'm not a donor. You don't know that I'm not a larger donor that you are.

      Season ticket holders should have first grab at their seats - and those seats should be the best seats available. They should be able to buy them up until a date like Wednesday.

      PSC members get plenty of benefits, and they go above and beyond to encourage people to join. At this point, however, the very few extra PSC members you're going to entice by a one-time, public exclusion is outweighed (IMHO) by the benefit of trying to pack the dome. I'd rather see even a few hundred extra people in there for the biggest game in recent (if not program) history than a few donors happy they get better seats then Joe Recliner, or YOU, or whomever else they think should be in line behind them.

      Finally, the label is appropriate. If you want higher, elevated or raised status, you want exalted status. That's what the word means. There is no reason to take offense, as there is nothing wrong with wanting something more. The question is whether it is prudent to grant it or deserved.

        I just don't understand why people think that the premier seats should be available to just anyone.
        Because this isn't India?

          Nice one Newsie! Anything on radio or TV yet in Waterloo/CR? I wonder if any of the document record fb revenue is being spent to spread the word. As a salesman friend said once: People don't buy or remember unless they're told 7 times.

          Here's to many taking the 'one last chance' to see the team in the dome this year.

              The game is on ESPN, so it will be widely available in homes. I hope people still show up, especially after seeing last night's effort.

                Actually, I do...don't forget, I do know who you are.

                and I can look up any donor to the PSC here:


                Sorry if you don't like it but donations = better seats.

                    As incredibly creepy as that little turn is, your document doesn't tell the whole story. I'll let you figure it out for yourself, but I bet the answer sits somewhere in the neighborhood of what the Panther Scholarship Club is, and what it isn't.

                      Hey JC if you know who he is and by chance he's not on the list I would love to sign Newsy up for the PSC.

                            Have you been to any football games this year? Just curious, I'm sure it's none of my business. It just seems like every time I get home from a game or the next day and I check out the game thread you are posting during games.
                            We missed yesterday, it just couldn't be helped. We were also unable to make it to Nichols State nor USD...but we were there for all the others.

                            Posts immediately after games can be closely attributed to a magical device



                            And no, mine isn't that lame color...it's the only picture I could quickly find.

                                I disagree; I think the students will be out in force.
