Going to have to give some guys some opportunities

Agreed. Completely. And I may include the gate agent as a co-conspirator.

I don't think they do.

OK, Thornton gone, Tilly gone, Noel gone, can see a place for Smith day one. Thompson at the 3? Pushing Devin to teh 2, and Mobley to the 1? Help me here folks, not seeing the chess pieces on the board.....You get a 5*, you play him, natch! But where?

Hard to play the projection game without knowing what leaves and comes from the transfer portal game.

Several of you will take issue, but here is a thought. With Mobley out, Taisman gets in, and starts launching. He's played, and you can see resentment in his eyes, guessing that his minutes are shortened. Anyway, can see that he's there, yes, but not invested. And waiting for the season to end.

Taped tOSU v MD game. Well, tuned in for the final quarter and a half. Heard that the Lady Bucks had been up by 19, but when I tuned in, our girls were behind, and stayed there. MD has the genie working for them, they were running in threes from everywhere, by everyone, and there was ALWAYS a hand in their faces. Saw some calls made, that weren't even close, but ref made them for MD. Seemed when our players made contact, whistle blew, but when theirs did, it was play on. OK, well know that a game shouldn't be close enough that a ref's call decides the outcome. On the plus side (I believe), when camera panned on tOSU players walking off the floor, there was looks of determination/anger/etc in all their eyes. Not sure that McDuff is a 'win one for the Gipper' kinda guy, but their faces said it all. Not a great week end, given the men's loss to VA, and wrestlers stopping by PSU, and now MD squeaking by the Buckeyes. Maybe stay from the East coast for awhile?

I'd guess we're not looking for numbers that get to the dollar/cents tier... rounding to the hundreds or five-hundreds would be OK... don't want this to be an accounting or math exam... Was looking for team validation of "we did good".. Collecting $1000, we suck... Collecting $3000, we did the minimum, but we still suck... Collecting $5K+, we did good and we can be proud of our ecosystem

We should set a minimum monthly ante to the equivalent of one beer at your nearest pub

so I got an update on this (since the 3-4 month answer), and can speak generally (without knowing all the little stuff yet)

Our initial estimate needed was 1400 (350 x 4)
Upon review, we revised this need to 1700 (425 x 4)
BP donated somewhere between 1800-2000ish, which is awesome.

So we raised 29-43% more capital than the 1400 we wanted to raise, which is great. We still cleared the revised total of 1700.

With the adjusted upfront cost (1700), we have about 100-300 leftover. So we've comfortably met the emergency capital needs and there are no alarms sounding.


That's the "can we revive BP" bucket. A resounding yes!


The stability comes from the monthly donations we can plan around, which is a different bucket of funding. Keep those coming in if you're able, and we will update in the near future with what we have raised for monthly commitments as a team!

Actually I just went ahead and set up a 25 dollar monthly membership. Now give me my banners you elitist pricks. lol

Thanks for everyone's patience while we got the monthly system setup. Was not done with the speed of a cheetah.

Tagging a few of the interested parties that had to wait on me

Zero pressure whether or not you gave. Just reviving something that took me awhile to get done with some life stuff.

I made a 10 dollar donation/tip just now. Will set it up as an automatic donation each month in April.

I can’t even begin to understand the level of fuckup it would take for this to really happen these days.

If they have the ability to tell you that you’re in the boarding line before your group was called… and they know when I’m in an exit row… there’s no way one should be able to get past the gate agent with it being a ‘whoopsie.’

My monthly payment has been set up. Since the first one was today, 2/15, would I be correct in assuming that subsequent payments will be made on the 15th of the month?

This would be one of many times where we are learning as we go as this is all new to us. When I looked that up I found this:

Ko-fi
https://help.ko-fi.com › en-us › articles › 44029459940...

Jun 22, 2021 — No minimum balances, no waiting for payout days. Memberships renew monthly on (or very close to) the day of the month the member first paid you.

Click to expand...

But when you click through, that text is not found. So the answer is probably that it's updated to being the same calendar day, based on what I'm reading.

We need your input to let us know how it functions on March 15th.

With all due respect, that's not an answer... why are we being vague? Are you a congressman?

Click to expand...

I appreciate your interest in the progress. I'm sorry it is taking us this long to get the answers to all of your questions. Gathering accurate numbers takes a bit of time, and we want to be sure anything we share is reliable. We are still sorting a few things out. One of those is how much we actually received after fees were taken out. Others include both one time and recurring costs. We will be able to share that information soon. I do not have that calculation completed yet. I expect to have that by tomorrow.

Separately from that number, the upcoming annual report will breakdown:
- Exactly what was raised so far, including processing costs
- How much we are spending
- How much we have committed

Any idea what the average “sustaining” monthly donation is / would be?

$50? $30? $14.99? $10 + F*ck *ichigan?

Click to expand...

On the surface it seems like a simpler thing to answer, and I would love to be able to answer that question. We believe we will need $425/month to sustain a stable site. Since at this point we have no idea how many members of our community will be able to contribute financially we really can't know what that average needs to be.

We know people's situations are ever changing. We just want to make sure that as they change, we keep you informed and we remain stable.

Again, I am sorry we haven't supplied more information, but we are still trying to figure it out. Please be patient with us.

Memphis went 22-33 last year and was picked 9th in the AAC this year so hopefully they can win both games against them.

La Tech is a decent team, projected to finish 2nd in the CUSA.

3/4 would be a successful weekend
