WE'RE IN FOR TEN SHARES, PLEASE

by Orson on Nov 11, 2009 7:24 PM EST

It's not much, but at the current prices for Florida we can't own so much as a blade of grass on Ben Hill Griffin, so Boise State it is for the official owned team of EDSBS.com.

For $100 per share, anyone can buy stock in the new corporation, and will have the ability to vote on a board of directors that will oversee and make decisions related to the school's athletics programs - including football and other programs. The initial share offering will be $20-million.

Money raised will go to facilities, not staff or coaches.

Boise State Broncos, Inc. will be modeled on a similar idea put forth by the Green Bay Packers of the NFL.

We're in for a grand to own a chunk of a team we've never even seen, and for an investment we can't be sure we'll ever see back. Talley-ho, American investing strategies! Some changes will have to be made if we are to have any input on the future of the franchise.

Out with this...bronco. In with the combat bear ridden by a man in a Master Chief outfit with a flamethrower.

Nice thinking Orson. But Master Chief has to be painted blue, with painted on orange flames and thunderbolts.

Orange Man Dept:

They should use part of the twenty mil to get a new fake grass color. From Smurf Blue to Bright Orange, not that shade of orange preferred by Long Horny fans.

At least you don’t have to buy team clothes in a new color scheme, Orson!

Orson,

Ask and you shall receive, Master Chief reporting for duty.

A hundred bucks? Hell, you could buy OU’s o-line this year for a can of Natty Lite and a Powerball ticket.

The preferred voting stock demands no more androgynous flag bearers.

The objective there was to raise funds… not off-load dead wood. You’ve gotta have a product somebody wants in order to raise funds.

The Kiffin Kup begins! Tennessee WR Nu’Keese Richarson, and DBs Jansen Jackson and Mike Edwards were arrested by Knoxville police early this morning and charged with aggravated robbery.

Good to see Lame carrying on a true Tennersee tradtion…

As a horse-owner and lover (no, not like that), I think it’s cruel that they get the fastest guy on the team to chase that poor beast across the field under the threat of being bludgeoned with a sledgehammer. Just horrible.
