A) lower the price
B) tell other 7 /11s to come to your place and sell slurpees at the same price
C) Let someone in mask take as many slurpees as they want
D) Raise the price of slurpees, till you equalize demand....


Short the slurpee mkt because it will soon be vastly over-bought. :lol:

Wrong, over produced vs. the demand.

Short term slurpee buzz from lack of supply. May help future slurpee sales. Hope the slurpees don't turn out flat.

From DMN article about SMU-UH game:

I'll comment later on this and the effort by DMN et al to market SMU as "bcs ready". They are a legend in thier own minds.

Houston by at least 45 pts if not more. UNT had them controlled first half, and actually we had our moments in lue of stupid turnovers and 2 breakout plays. We would have been much closer if not for those but the point is it we gave them a good game considering ~ that was before UH got in top 10. I'll also comment later on how we - UNT - have handled both ARMY and NAVY the past recent years!

I'm pulling for UH big time as us (UNT) and UH should be the public schools heading to the BIG E!

i don't think he understands the term "in lue (SIC) of".

I think he meant "despite" or "irregardless of".

Obviously capacity and volume escaped your education. Of course you wouldn't know about that at SMU, would you?

are you insinuating that every UH home game is typically sold out? that we shouldn't be surprised that tickets are unavailable?

No. The original responses were regarding the Cougar who said it would be wrong to sell tickets for market price if that was greater than what you paid for them. Normally, Houston tickets are as easy to get as a UH diploma.....this week they are listed on Stubhub for twice what you pay for a UH degree.
