((HT: ROOT/MLB))
It's the very rare instance that causes a baseball game to slow down than the action itself...
Happened yesterday at SoDo when the Twins were playing the Mariners...
In the 7th inning stretch, something called the $5k Tailgate released $6-grand in $1 from the upper deck of the stadium and caused everyone to look skyward and grab what they could. The Tailgate will let you run a race doused in Seahawks-colored paint before the Sunday Night game against San Francisco that is their home opener.
Their website crashed as a result...
Here's one of the announce teams trying to figure out what's going on...

Georgia State Promotion Has More Money Than Fans
((HT: Rick Limpert))
The Georgia State football program has decided to move from the Colonial Athletic Association to the Sun Belt Conference. And in their transitional year of moving from I-AA to Division I-Big Boy football, the Panthers are taking their lumps.
The average attendance has dropped under 10,000 and the NCAA mandates that you need a three-year average of 17,000 or you can go on probation (or other really evil penalizing things) for up to ten years on the Division I level.
Not something they want to have to look forward to...
So, they came up with this promotion in the wake of their game against New Hampshire- a game in which GSU lost again...
Wonder what the meeting was like to drop $10,000 in vouchers from the ceiling inside the Georgia Dome was like...???
Here's the evidence...
300 GSU students were chosen to run around and try and grab as many of the vouchers as possible in a set time frame at half time. Presumably, to get people to wander by and see some really bad football.
Oh, 10-grand in vouchers were dropped...
The announced attendance was just over 9,000...
The HQ feels for Bill Curry and what he has helped build in downtown Atlanta. We also hope the ascent to the Sun Belt wasn't too far-too fast...
