Hey! 10 minutes from my house! Whoops... $500 says "F*^k that."

Hopefully, though, there are bigger fish who will take advantage of what will probably be something pretty cool.

Tom Izzo? Pretty good get. Announcing a "home & away"..?

Thank you Mark Montgomery?

That is not cheap, but if the market value is $40, I believe that means $460 of that can be considered a donation.

Go big or go home.

I would love to go, but unfortunately the stock market has taken a tumble as of late and I have been forced to sell off some assets to keep afloat. One of those was my Armani tux. Another was my limo and driver. So, if Athletics will accept me at the country club in holey jeans and driving my somewhat rusty Ford Pinto, I will go....but only if they let me in for a $20 donation. Maybe I can help them by washing a few dishes of the anointed hoi polloi.

I like when prices are high, it lets me know my kind aren't welcome without creating a scene.

Oh, OK. Put us down for 4.... in case we want seconds.

I'm dumb, just not as lucky as those guys. Great reference!
