You don't market this with "DON'T MISS THE BIGGEST PARTY IN TECH ATHLETICS HISTORY," invite Tech fans from all over the country, and then not serve food and drinks.
It's an invitation. If you don't like it, don't go. My God. WE ARE IN!!!!!!!!!! Can we not be happy for a damn day around here???????????????
There will be balloons and confetti. Bring your own popcorn and Coke if it's important to you.
Dammit all.
I love ya'll but damn. We can miss a meal, but we can't enjoy jack diddly squat around here without somebody having a bitch fest. Go. Listen. Cheer. Enjoy.
We've been waiting how long for this? Sitting on pins and needles agonizing about where we would be and what would become of us? I feel intense happiness and relief and joy and relief and joy and relief. And happiness. Not hunger. I can eat anytime. I can't get in CUSA every day but tomorrow.
Nobody's telling you not to be happy! I'm happy! But I don't have to be happy at the way loyal supporters like yourself, who have waited 20 YEARS for this, will be treated. And I don't have to like it even if you don't mind it! And I don't have to like half-ass efforts from a lazy-ass administration. I'm not tolerant of it from our athletes, and I'll be damned if I'll accept it from adults who are paid (too) well to do their jobs the way they often do them.
I hope everyone has a great time. Meanwhile, I'll be working to see that you're treated in the future with the respect you deserve.
I'm thankful for that and appreciative for all you do. What I do over there, I do for the University and Tech Athletics, to help us get the respect WE deserve, not respect I think I deserve. What is happening tomorrow is what I need. I don't think it's necessary to serve milk and cookies along with the best thing that has happened to us in years. Serving up CUSA happens to be enough for me tomorrow. I can get my own milk and cookies.
How in the world would you plan refreshments after sending multiple invitations to ALL tech supporters everywhere??? I think it is planned for noon so working folks could attend on their noon hour (& forego their lunch!!)
