Links / discussion - Head coach Bobby Kennedy on the GFP

[EverettGriz]

I did not hear where he gave Bret an invite to ride on the players charter ? Did I miss that part?

On a typical morning, how early do you begin drinking?

Great Pod! Taking a deeper dive into the life of our new HC and I absolutely loved it. BK seems like a very genuine and humble person when speaking about everything. A lot of HC always give the politically correct answers to questions or tells people what they want to hear but it doesn't seem like that with BK. Everything he says feels very genuine and authentic and I love that. Hopefully you guys can try and get more coaches on the pod or even players. Anyways thanks for putting on this podcast, I really enjoyed listening and learning a lot about our new HC and the direction he wants to take this program.

 

[Grizzinator]

I don’t know how you don’t listen to that and don’t want the guy to succeed.

 

[Harm]

Great listen, I like the guy and wish him the utmost success!

 

[HookedonGriz]

You guys have had a lot of great pods over the years. This one is stellar.

 

[CDAGRIZ]

Great job, GFP. Seems like coach is very genuine. I’d still like to know if he thinks a modern top CFB team would be competitive in the 1991 NFC Central. I guess there’s just no way of knowing

Bret or Brent? Because I'd assume as our OC and OL coaches both Brent Pease and Brent Myers would be on the charter anyways.

Glad I could clear that up for you

You're assuming he waited till the morning to start. Im not sure if its a cycle or rather a continuous flow.

either way you spell it you did not get an invite

I don't know why I'm taking the time, but it was never some super secret special invite because Bobby likes Brint. If you are at a certain level of donorship, you automatically get to ride on the charter once a year to an away game. You, too, could fly on the player's charter if you wanted.

Tax experts question… is the QB club fee considered a “Donation” for tax deduction purposes?

If you "waive all benefits" which - I assume means, no jacket, no availability to attend the meetings, etc, because from what I can tell, you're categorizing this as a straight up "donation".

This is a Yes/No option when you're filling out your info to join the QB Club:

Waive All Benefits (if you choose to waive benefits, your gift may be deductible as a charitable gift for federal income tax purposes up to 100 percent or the maximum allowed by federal law.)

Right before you put in payment info on the site.

I could be wrong - probably would be worth a call to the GSA. 406-243-6481.

Hey thanks! Ya, I wouldn’t be able to attend the meetings in person. Im good on Swag as well. I’m guessing virtual attendance would still count as attendance?

Not saying you should, but you can deduct whatever the F you want…

Thanks for the information that no one else shares. Do you get to invite the coach for a podcast also? What other bennies does a certain level donor get?

 

[oldngrizzly]

It was an interesting podcast mostly because the coach talked almost the whole time. The only thing that seemed missing was Griz football.

Start a podcast. It would play well in the angry octogenarian demographic.

Dunno - I’d get clarification from GSA.

Been twice - won it in a golf scramble once and then last year was offered it thanks to my Learfield partnership that’s a large annual financial support to the program.

Fun trips, kind of a grind, not sure I’d do a night game again due to the travel home.

I get a donation receipt from the UM foundation for my $1000 I donate to QB Club
