THESE are the threads I've been waiting for. Plus one. Way too much good cheer on this board the last several days.

I got my flag plus an extra. They were handing them out in the parking lot at 2:30pm while tailgating. If you show up ten minutes before kickoff then there was no flags available. Next time people should show up early. My only complaint was the flag was white. Wish they would have made them black. BTW. Walmart is selling big flags.

Well, marketing and athletics better get their heads out of their asses and figure out who is paying their freight. It ain't the students. It's getting harder and harder to understand why these supposedly savvy people are so oblivious to what's happening at games that make some people NOT want to return. SDSU may not control things like concessions, parking, etc. which are both still a big problem at Aztec Football games. But they DO control things like give-aways and marketing. It just seems like the program is run by a lot of people who don't know too much about selling a product, keeping customers happy, or growing their brand. Too bad. It dooms the Aztecs to perennial also rans. I've been saying for years that the only thing keeping the Aztecs out of the top-25 is the stadium staff's inability to hand out free flags efficiently. You hit the nail on the head...

Christ only our fan base would bitch about giving "their" $0.50 flag to students.

The point isn't the flags, shirts or hats. It's the fact that no matter what they are giving away or what promotion they are working they are inept and disorganized. We pay Schnall and the others to market and do promotions and 90% of them are f#&ked up. I don't care what they give away or promote but, at least make it fan friendly and do what you say you are going to do.

I am sure thousands of others thought it went just fine. Maybe the fault is with you?

We didn't get flags either. Someone was walking around the parking lot handing something like that out. When I went in at 4:10 I didn't even see the boxes. Something tells me they only took them to the gate nearest the trolley, which would be why all the students got em. My buddy AB and I were stretched out in our old section in B1 and this cutie comes by with a butt load of flags and asks us if we would like "some". Take as many as you want she says. Then she starts handing out bundles to whoever shows an interest. I had no clue what was going on, but now the intent is clearer. I can't even begin to imagine what happened.

I am sure thousands of others thought it went just fine. Maybe the fault is with you? Is 70 your age or your IQ. Read my point. It's not the flags, shirts, hats or any of the other tons of cheap ass S#!t they give away. Or that I'm to dumb, stupid or directionally challenged. If you are going to give 10000 flags, hats, shirts to the first 10000 fans to the game than that's what you should do. Not take them on the road to the first 10000 tailgaters or the first 10000 students or the first 10000 left handed sperm bank guards. You are what you eat! If you want to draw fans to the game with a give away then do it in a professional way, like a major program. They don't do it to get me to the game,, they have my money. It's to get the 15 people and their kids I drag to the game to come again. I'm sure you have a plan to get more fans to the game. Like free use of the restrooms or free passage to your seat. Well let the minions at the marketing department know your ideas to pack the Q.

Well let the minions at the marketing department know your ideas to pack the Q. if the people you're bringing are going to decide not to come again based on the fact that they didn't get a free flag that 21,000 people didn't get AND a 42-7 victory isn't enough to get them fired up, they probably shouldn't come again. thanks for bringing them, but there's no way this should have ruined or even mildly affected your evening. also, before going after someone's iq and intelligence, learn which 'to' to use. you're a college graduate (i think). EDIT: if you're not really mad and just having fun, ignore me and carry on. EDIT AGAIN: you might actually have been joking since post one, in which case, this is the most awesome thread ever and i missed the point completely.
