SOMEONE IS PAYING PEOPLE TO FILL SEATS AT A LARGE ATHLETIC EVENT IN INDIANA
by Spencer Hall on Nov 30, 2011 12:30 PM EST
Email
PrintSo this Craigslist ad appears on Indianapolis' Craigslist site. It looks like this.
To save your eyes: it's a blanket ad requesting seat fillers. While not mentioned by name, the B1G Championship is the only event in Indianapolis on Saturday night involving a Lucas Oil Field and fans showing up in green and red clothing. The pay: $75 for the event. (The link is still live, but in case it's yanked, hello screenshot.)
Being intrepid, curious, and fond of small cons, we got our hands on one of the email responses to an operative. (We also sent our own, but as of this post's writing we have not received a response. B1G speed, baby!) The response regurgitates a lot of what is in the ad, but includes this establishing that this is indeed for the B1G Championship.
Our client has asked for discretion about this opportunity, as "seat-filling" is behind-the-scenes aspect of this event production.
On the day of the event event, we will designate a parking garage and validate your parking. Seat fillers will be assigned seats inside or near the event close to the event start time. We expect fillers will need to be checked in around 6:30pm on Saturday. The event itself begins shortly after 8pm, and we expect it to conclude close to midnight. You will receive payment at the end of the evening upon turning in the paperwork given to you at the beginning of the evening.
The letter is signed at the end from "ICC"
Unless you believe there is a completely parallel event involving the stadium, There is literally a nanosecond of detective work involved in figuring out that ICC stands for "Indianapolis Convention Center," the facility attached to Lucas Oil Stadium. The Big Ten's not lying when it says it's not paying for seat-fillers, but the tempting bit of verbiage there is "our client." That client could be a number of parties: the City of Indianapolis, FOX Sports, or the B1G, who wouldn't be lying when they said they weren't paying people, but who could in theory be paying the ICC to pay people to attend the game. (Then again, knowing what we know, so could we. EDSBS TROLLING THE B1G FROM THE INSIDE IT'S SO HAPPENING.)

The Pac 12 did it right
Having the game be a home game for the team with the better record at least assures a sell-out without having to pay people to be there.
$75 to see a game is a pretty sweet deal, no matter who is playing.

open seating sold out in two hours this summer.
Whether those people will show up and look pretty for TV is an open question.
B1G is claiming total sellout already, I’m guessing they’re hedging for no-shows from Nebraska/Michigan/Iowa etc. that bought this summer. I won’t be surprised at all to see the stadium look awfully empty until the 2nd quarter or so when they figure out how many no-shows they’ve got.

Right You Are
There are 38 pages of tickets on Stubhub right now, as low as 11 dollars a ticket. What we’re seeing are the Neb, PSU, Iowa, etc fans trying to dump their tickets and no one buying. A bunch of fans from the preseason favorite schools speculated and now they can’t move their tickets.
Also scalpers I bet.
I was just in Indy for a conference
If my team’s not there, I’d have absolutely no desire to spend more time in that city. I’m not sure where this downtown scene I’ve been reading about was at, but I saw no evidence of it. Cultural highlights of my trip were eating at Steak ’n Shake and Chik-Fil-A.

I’ll admit to buying a pair. Michigan was widely forecasted as the dark horse candidate. I figured failing that Neb would make it and they travel insanely well, so I’d unload them for a quick buck.
Managed to sell mine at face to Spartan coworker. I know some other people who are taking a bath on the purchase price.
Had it been in Chicago I’d have gone, simply to see as much CFB has humanly possibly and get a weekend in Chicago.
Chicago would be a million times better because on years when Mich, OSU, PSU, and Neb (the insanely well travelling fanbases) fail to make it, Chitown is closer to Wisconsin, Iowa, and MSU than Indy. Those last three are the teams that likely show up when the others down.
Chicago was the obvious choice from day 1.
But, Indy has a very good “convention machine” to bring these types of events to their city, so they got it.
I expect future games will move to CHI.

"Everyone who drinks is not a poet. Maybe some of us drink because we're not poets." - Arthur Bach
Well, part of it is just bidding issues
If Indy offers a better financial package for the game, it’s attractive to the B1G. I will admit that there are an absurd number of hotel rooms that are physically connected to Lucas Oil/ICC. I don’t know how much the B1G plans on using the convention center, but having it attached to the game venue is handy, as opposed to Soldier Field/McCormick which I think is at least a mile away.

Ah, I misinterpreted your statement.
I think when you get down to it, it’s not really an issue of MSU and UW fans (though Wisconsin fans suck, and I’ll hear no argument on this point). It’s people like Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan and OSU fans that bought tickets over the summer and don’t want to spend a weekend in Indy. As a Nebraska fan, if I had bought tickets and the game was in Chicago, I’d still definitely go, can’t say the same for Indy.

You'll be driving a lot in Indiana either way
I mean, any non-UP part of Meechigan to Chicago is going to involve a lot more driving in Indiana than Illinois (though traffic may equalize things).
MSU isn't the problem here. Wisky is.
But, all looks good to me. A big chunk of those available tix are gettign scooped up by MSU fans, so we should have almost a home field advantage.
I would totally go, but my kid has soccer games all weekend.

MSU fans have the Amtrak option as well though. 4 hours and 25 bucks per way. You can get loaded on the train as well. So much better than driving through any of those states that start with I.
I cited MSU because when you’re a college kid with no car or a rusting out hunk of junk, Amtrak actually seems attractive. I was a huge fan of the Ann Arbor to Chicago train run. Handle of tequila in a backpack, keep it on the down low and it was an awesome train ride.

OOh train pass out stories. I can play this one.
1. Japan—Drinking all night, got on train at 6 AM at the same stop where I went to school, heading home. Woke up 90 min later at same stop, going other direction. I had slept the entire way past my home stop, to the turn around point, and slept all the way back.
2. Korea—Drinking all night (no pattern here, no), had a major major briefing the next morning, my boss (squadron commander) briefing the division commander (as were all subordinate commanders) on the plan for a div exercise. As the intel officer, my presence was very necessary. I took train back in the morning, intending to sleep a bit on the train and get an hour or two before having to leave for the meeting. Well, of course I sleep past my stop, and a train worker wakes me up a few stops later—at the last stop on the line before it enters North Korea. I freak, jump off the train, cab back to my base, barely have time to shower off the drunk smell and get in uniform, and call my driver to take me to the meeting. I think only the Ops Officer noticed I was still toasted, but that was a rough day.

Red line from Downtown back to Loyola lakeshore campus
Approx. 2 or 3 am.
Friend and I board train downtown, at the next stop guy gets on and sits in front of me. Guy reeks. Like, worst smell I’ve ever experienced, and I’ve spent too much time in hockey locker rooms. As one, 12 people (including myself and my friend) get up and book it for the next car. We’re all moving into the next car as the train pulls into the next station. Cop standing in the next car counts off “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 , 10, 11, 12: OFF THE TRAIN” Proceeds to lecture us for five minutes about how there’s a smelly bum on every car and he should ticket us all for $200 apiece.

Red line, from downtown, passing Jarvis, 11:30 PM
Black bum and white bum are seated a few seats ahead of me. White bum berates black bum about black bum sitting in ‘his seat’. White bum tries to shove opponent out of the seat.
At this point concerned citizens start whipping out cell phones. When we reach the station, a black guy in a bomber jacket dashes onto the car, states he is a police officer, and tells the white bum to knock it off. The white guy replies “FUCK YOU, YOU’RE NOT A COP!!!” and takes a swing at the gentleman.
A few quick self-defense moves later, leather jacket guy had white bum pinned up against the wall of the El car, with gun and badge in full view.
That was the last we saw of our friend. And the reason I showed up late at the birthday party I was heading to.

Train trips are severly underrated
For the cost of gas (as long as you’re not splitting it up), it gets you there for pretty much the same price, and you don’t have to do anything. I’d do it way more often if there were more trips that I could load a car on. If I could take a train to Colorado and not have to rent a car out there, I’d totally go for a ski trip this winter.

-We already have tons of extremely white people, so we don’t need Nebraska.
-We already think we’re better than everyone else in the region, so we don’t need Michigan.

The first year in Jacksonville, you still had the novelty of an ACC title game, and it had Virginia Tech and Florida State playing
After that, who wants to go either Tampa or Jacksonville just to watch teams like Wake Forest and Boston College?
Plus, Charlotte is only about 3 hours from Virginia Tech, who’s won the division 5 of the last 7 years now. FSU traveled OK to Charlotte last year to watch their guts get stomped out by Tyrod Taylor, and Clemson is pretty close to Charlotte. So basically, Atlantic Division, quit letting teams like Boston College smack you around.

(also, Wisconsin didn’t sell their allotment of tickets because their fans’ fingers are too greasy with bratwurst grease to properly use their computer keyboards)

Yes - and there's a good reason.
One of the problems with English is that the second person singular and second person plural are the same word – you.
“Do you want to PitS to suffer through the roommate hellbeast saga?” is a fundamentally ambiguous question – am I referring to you, JimatUA, or the commentariat at large?
The Southern/Southwestern-American fixed this with y’all and all y’all. Y’all refers to a single addressee, all y’all refers to a group. ’Y’all comin?" and “All y’all comin?” have distinct meanings.
by Albino Tornado on Nov 30, 2011 3:03 PM EST up reply actions
Wrong. At least in the South.
Y’all is a generic plural – can mean any number from 2 to infinity. All y’all means every last one of you motherfuckers.

This is correct. Adding the "All" to "y'all" indicates the complete set.

ya [a]ll == ya’ll
But first you have to pronounce you as ya
the secret ingredient is ... love?!
Where ya goin?
Seems fine to me.
the secret ingredient is ... love?!
This is the way I see it
y’all is for formal writing where you are trying to spell all the words correctly.
ya’ll better represents the speaker phonetically. At least when I say it. “You all” doesnt need a contraction. “Ya all” does because that is just akward.
the secret ingredient is ... love?!
I'm a fan of "Yall"
without the apostrophe. If it’s not technically a word, I can do whatever I want to it.

I love marginalia.
I work with about 60 illuminated manuscript leaves here, and there are some fascinating illuminations. But the marginalia is really my thing. Readers used to draw hands (called manicules) pointing at lines or sections they wanted to return to (much like the “return to sender” hands on envelopes). This guy made faces into brackets. Others would combine the word “nota” into one big bracket.
If monks transcribed passages out of order, illuminators would draw pictures of other monks lassoing the text and dragging it to where it belonged.

I don’t care if you had nothing to do with this. All you bastards have done this year is try and screw TCU over on their way out to a better conference. Changing the game from Fort Worth to the Blue Shitshow Circus, putting all our games in the middle of the day, having a shit network that LOST ITS FEED TO A GAME FOR AN ENTIRE QUARTER.
I can’t wait until Craig Thompson, at the end of the game Saturday, has to present to Gary Patterson the championship trophy.
We’ll be chilling in the Big 12, while your shit conference merges with the shit Conference USA, creating a black hole of shit, where not even your own ineptitude will be able to escape for the public to notice.
Good luck with that UNLV-Memphis conference championship next season.
