Why argue with a guy who likely thinks since this is 2023 the world is 2 Thousand and Twenty-three years old?

True Blue: If my quotes are embarrassing to you, don't read them as my name is on the left of the page. I don't read NIL, because at this point Wood is not into it.

I believe the ODAF was started when Dr, Jarret had the TED built. As said above, I was a fan long before that, at the fieldhouse. The thousands I have given to the ODAF for donations and tickets, I don't regret because I enjoyed basketball then. Since after Jones first two years, I have stop giving and buying tickets for both basketball and football. There is always ESPN+

ODAF was another of Wood’s stupid ideas, rebranding the beloved “Big Blue Club” into something seemingly more bland and soulless. Just like he seems to like things.

What in the heck to talking about?

Dude said Jarret started ODAF. Not accurate. Jarret started the Big Blue Club. For whatever reason Wood didnt like the BBC name. Supposedly in part because it was associated with basketball and he wanted something more encompassing of all sports. So he came up with "ODAF" and sunset the BBC. Basically the same thing as the Big Blue Club, but a lot of old timers didnt understand the change. Of more interest to me, from a marketing perspective you went from encouraging membership in something with a long, exciting and fun history that people wanted to be a part of to... well, ODAF. Just an example of changing something great to something bland.
