Does anyone have any idea how many ODAF points you get for a brick?

Not sure, but i know they aren't showing up yet. And ODAF has my consecutive years giving info wrong as well. You guys may want to double check your info as well. They're trying to get mine fixed.

ODAF is a hot mess right now with my points. For the last few weeks, I've been getting emails and calls from premium services coordinator wanting me to buy more season tickets. I scaled down from 4 to 2 in hopes of getting better seats.

I donated last year but don't see that. I did skip on accident (i could have sworn I had my CC setup to pay) but apparently missed it and ruined my consecutive years points. But I should probably call about last years. And it only shows donor history back to 2015 for me? Which is weird.

As I discussed with Harry on Twitter .... Current year donation pulls too much weight when we're picking seats for "life". He didn't buy it until I showed him the math. In this example, someone that has given 30k in lifetime donations and a current year 1500$ donation almost takes back seat to a first time donor that gives 5k.

Wow, I presented the same thought to him except $20,000 for 20 years plus $1,500 for the coming year versus first timer kicking in $5,000. In my example the new donor would have more points and picks ahead of the old timer.

This made a lot of sense when reseating happened every couple years because it created some competition among donors so to speak and you couldn't come in with a one time big donation and walk away with good seats for life.

It's a level playing field and there were no secrets about the process .... I just never ran through the hypothetical to see how easy it would be to walk into great seats as a first time donor 10 years into football.

Is anyone else having issues using the parking link on ODAF’s website. I want to submit my tailgate spot request but the link doesn’t work.

I noticed the ODAF website renewal page indicates “coming soon” for the parking selections. So I guess the selection is not due May 1.

They're working on getting an additional tailgating lot (Larchmont??) so the parking deadline has been extended to June 1st.

I really wasn't planning on donating this year and just getting my seats where they fell but I went ahead and tossed in a bit. If everyone does the same that makes a big impact.

I was on the fence about it this year too, but then I remembered I don't want to be stuck in this **** Texas conference and the only way to get out is to move up and out, and the only way for ME to help this program move up and out is to keep up the support with donations.

This will likely be a fantastic year for ODAF due to the reseating and promise you can keep your football seats as long as you renew and pay the seat fee. Next year is when we will see how many are truly dedicated to helping build this program.

Do the points you accrue ever expire? I donated the first 5 years I was a season ticket holder and then I stopped donating and stopped getting season tickets. I donated again today and am getting season tickets this year. So, does my past points expire since there was a lapse in me donating?

If you are using the same ODAF account, I am fairly sure that you will get credit for previous "lifetime" gifts.

Heads up, we can now make our parking selections. Got my fingers crossed for blue lot, if not I'll be happy in pink or burgundy. What about y'all?

Did you get an email or do you just log into your ODAF account to do that?

I haven't been able to log into my ODAF account since the deadline last week to get ST. Just get a bunch of errors.

I got an email. But you can access it through the site as well.
