ZachTheZip Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I guess I'd better start this now for when I get back from the meeting. I still haven't been able to sign up, but I'm hoping for that to change tonight. If I can't join, I'll raise some hell during the Can't State game. Who knows... maybe it will stir up that lethargic old-people crowd that seems to have taken over the JAR recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Well, I'm back and still just a run-of-the-mill student for now. "Sign-ups start back up next week" is the response from the fearless leader herself. I can't blame the Rowdies board as it seems that their hands are tied by the athletic dept much more than I thought. For example, the AD is the cause of the whole t-shirt thing, and if we can't fill up the two lower sections they will sell those seats without skipping a beat. How delightfully evil.I can tell everyone right now that they will not be able to fill the two lower sections if they enforce the shirt rule, and that at sometime around halftime they will be sending some poor soul to the upper sections to literally beg those people that they alienated by not advertising the early sign-up session. Oh, and get this: they don't want the Rowdies reading Zipsnation because we might say "bad things" about them. I think it might be a case of the the AD trying to talk through the Rowdy leaders, but I can't be sure yet. If I was able to sign up earlier, I would have volenteered myself for a leadership position but now I'm glad that never happened because I know I would have fought back against the Administrative stranglehold placed upon the great students in the Rowdies. I really feel sorry for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in my other post, discussion is good. Sometimes the people who stand up and disagree with things that aren't working are the ones who end up elevating a group the most. I'm guessing that they were just trying to express coming to them with issues and that it just came out wrong...I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickasazip33 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I am coming back on for good reason on this one I think and let me know if I am wrong please. When we as a board so no posting on ZipsNation we were not saying don't we not trying to comand anyone to do anything. What we were trying to get across was come to the leaders with concerns and not bash the leaders for what we are trying to do to help. The last time I posted it got me and other ROWDIES in some trouble so just be a little more curtious on what is said when you direct it towards the Department and the Leaders of the Rowdies and if you have MAJOR issues come to us 1st get ALL the facts straight (unlike what I have done in the past) and then put some sort of little negative/spin to positve on what is said thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippyrifle32 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 no, i understand where they are coming from. unless you are leading the group you probably don't have the details on why they are doing things the way they are. then to come out here and see people bashing something you're working really hard to promote is discouraging. i'll continue to politely agree to disagree and sit above with the non rowdies i bring to the game.
