Yup, overboard, especially considering that UAS does a TON of business with Grizzly Athletics.

Surely Grizzly athletics could locate a supplier that isn't owned by a bunch of rape joke making bobcat fans.

If I could have a quarter for every time I have heard that one....
In my day we only needed a nickel for every time we heard something. Kids these days, no wonder the country has gone to hell.

Pretty sure your nickel then is worth more than my quarter now....

Let's say you could. What would you do with such a windfall?

Buy shirts for everyone...

To add to this, when I was in my mid 20's, I was in Las Vegas for about a month. I was fortunate to have met a couple Vegas businessmen who heavily invested into building Vegas. They pointed out to myself and several others that Vegas promotions cater to everyone. The trick was getting as much interest as possible in Vegas. The various Vegas casinos, hotels, businesses etc would make promotions too enticing to turn down, knowing damn well a little from everyone and enticing to Vegas would in turn generate huge profits from those who are not smart with their money. Basically, they told me "Vegas is an example of an empire built by a bunch of losers (gamblers who lost much money in hopes of getting lucky in Vegas). "

Come on, UAS knows damn well MSU athletics has more to gain from this than GRIZ athletics does.
 
Maybe someone already asked/answered this, but why the fuck is it "granite"? What the fuck does "granite" have to do with UM? Copper, yes. Gold, yes. Even if it was a "silver-out", I'd get that, but granite? Doesn't granite come in all kinds of colors? My neighbor claims to have "granite" countertops but they look pink to me. I've seen another set that's brown and a third set that looks blue. Come to think of it, the only "grey" granite I ever see are headstones....not the best association.

The only things I can think of are: 1) UM marketing dept wanted to add another marketing ploy, maybe they already had a maroon-out, white-out, and/or black-out games planned so they decided to call it a "granite-out" to avoid "silver-out" which could possibly be to similar to the cat people's "gold/piss-out" or whatever the fuck they call it, or 2) the UAS owner (in his leather cut-out pants, construction worker, navy, and/or chieftain costume) was sitting in his office one day starring at a bunch of MT Tech T-shirts left-over and thought of a great way to scam UM

What are you going to do next....biatch about the Jimmy John's sandwich eating contest?

Isn't the link to purchase the UM bookstore? Am I missing something?

If they are selling the UM Bookstore for $10, I might think about it; even if the rape jokers get some of the purchase price.

Sorry, but I am not on board with knowing there is a possibility that greater than 10% of that money will likely go to MSU athletics. In a sense that GRIZ NATION giving more toward improving MSU athletics than GRIZ athletics. I have no idea what the profit margin is on this for UAS. My thinking is, after UAS has covered their expenses and calculated their acceptable profit, in time at least 10% of this goes into helping MSU athletics. Retail wise, $10 is a great deal for a T Shirt, and it makes sense to buy it. However, a larger portion of that sale will likely be going to help our biggest rival. Sorry, without better guarantee where the remainder of the money is or is not going, I am not buying this shirt. I will continue to buy from businesses who are GRIZ supporters, or donate $ directly to the U of M toward this cause. I feel it is pretty damn easy for UAS to give back at worse $1.00 to MSU athletics on this.
If you can find a Granite Game T-Shirt for $9.00 or less with UM logo's on it, buy it......
My guess is that this is not much more than a break even deal for UAS.
Go Griz!
 
Guys - you can also buy the shirt at the UM Bookstore, in fact the link I posted goes to the UM bookstore.

Rah! Rah! Hey, that was fun!

See?! Tell a few rape jokes with the approval of the athletic department, sell some diabetes cakes to the public, and you'll be a bona fide geriatric Cat booster!

I'm a little depressed that the booster videos have probably been put to rest, C-A-T-S was a masterpiece.

Actually just a piece.
