    To be fair, Columbus has enough spare tickets to give them out to any asshole who refinances their mortgage, while Austin only has enough for the select few who are willing to make the far greater committment of typing their name and email into a web form.

    But they're not spare tickets. I'm sure this is part of LDC's naming rights deal. They bought , as part of the deal, access to X number of tickets. I'd be shocked if Q2 didn't have something similar set up in Austin.

    And who knew that getting tickets as part of a mortgage deal made them free?

    Are you really this stupid? Please tell me that you're not this stupid. It would frighten me.

    As a major sponsor - the stadium NAMING SPONSOR for God's sake - part of their package is a big chunk of seats. lower.com isn't trotting down to the box office to see what's available, you insufferably ignorant toad.

    And I GUARANTEE you that you have more than one sponsor who could do "this kind of marketing".

    Jackass. Get yourself back over to "LatexBukkakeBikerNuns.com" and stop bothering the grownups.

    Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.

    We can’t connect to the server at www.latexbukkakebikernuns.com.

    If that address is correct, here are three other things you can try:

    • Try again later.
    • Check your network connection.
    • If you are connected but behind a firewall, check that Firefox has permission to access the Web.

    That clip should never have aired. Either her quote was pulled out of context or she is simply clueless, but either way it makes her a laughingstock, and that's completely inappropriate for a segment about fans at a sporting event.

    Yeah, it seemed like it was done outside LDC after the match with someone who just attended. And probably walked past Nationwide Arena and Huntington Park to get to LDC.

    3 minutes of internet sleuthing and I will say with 100% certainty and 20% believability it was definitely a mis-speak oopsie on camera.

    Looks like she had been a realtor in an area just outside 270 but did go to OSU. I will guarantee that she is aware of the Jackets and knows they play downtown. I will also guarantee that she has no idea what sport they play. It would also not be a stretch to assume the only OSU athletes she could name would be Urban and Braxton Miller.

    She was excited to be on camera and, like many realtors, allowed the bull-sh!t to come forth. She should have stopped talking a sentence earlier.

    Anyway, Patrice needs to get a print out of her face and hang it in the office. This is the type of person her Tri-State marketing push needs to reach.

    The Crew used to have agreements with Kroger back in the day. More presence in Kroger stores equals more average folks knowing your brand. People don’t go to the mall anymore. Get inside Kroger.

    You're of course correct but what's worse IMO is that Emily Maish is a real estate agent who has lived and worked in Columbus Ohio for ten years and seems to not know some rather basic things about the community.

    For example, she apparently has never heard of The Arena District and/or has no idea why it's called that. This is undeniably a rather large knowledge gap.

    One is really forced to question her competence and even her intelligence. Which, fairly or not, opens her up for ridicule, which is never a good thing for someone in her position.

    But the larger question is what producer, editor or reporter thought that a completely boneheaded comment like that was worth airing? Even Clay Hall was so embarrassed about it that he felt compelled to disassociate himself from it entirely.

    One really wonders what moron - and I use the term advisedly - was sitting in the editing room choosing clips to broadcast and decided that having this young woman look like an imbecile for no good reason was sound editorial judgement.

    She is also apparently a real estate agent with a high approval rating for local knowledge....

    My questions are...

    What did she think the stadium she was just in was built for?

    Were all references to the Crew in the stadium covered up by USSF logos? If not, how did she miss those?

    EDIT: How close did she park that she missed the Clippers logo on the outside of Huntington Park?

    Channel 6 is owned by Sinclair broadcasting Group, so they do not fall within the reality-based community.

    Why are we having this discussion in the "Let's all laugh at Austin" thread and not the "OSU Fans are the Worst Part of Columbus" thread?

    It looks like the Crew will make it through their first season in the new stadium without a need to replace the grass.
