An open letter to Greg Byrne

Dear Mr. Byrne,

As athletic director of the University of Arizona you surely have a lot on your mind these days. We are fighting for bowl eligibility tomorrow against Colorado and we are also opening our basketball season this Sunday against Charleston Southern, but these are only several examples of the things you have to deal with at the moment. Clearly as a "modern" AD you have to not only worry about finding coaches for our teams, but also how to market our brand. We are doing quite well in that regard with the new Pac-12 tv deal, but we can do so much more. I don't know how involved you are with the athletics website, but I hope you will give my request the proper treatment it deserves. Did you know you don't have an iCal file of the men's basketball schedule on the website? Neither did I until this evening becasue, you see, I am only a bandwgaon fan. My friend RyDub has been a fan since the days when he used to drink too much Mt. Dew and he won an Arizona jersey during some march madness competition. He is your audience. He pays your salary and I can tell you he is not happy. Do you want to know about his dedication? You can read about it here. Please call up your tech nerds and get this iCal file on the web ASAP because he can't even synchronize his smartphone to our schedule without it. What the fuck man? We have got to do better. I know you are about maximizing profits, but who profits from us not having an iCal schedule file on our website. I trust you to correct this issue because, well, even the Fighting Illini have an iCal file on their website and while the Uof I is a much better school than ours, their football team sucks. Like sucks hard.

Thanks,
Sawsheezle

  2. I have tears in my eyes. That was beautiful. You should've mentioned even the Illini have an iCal file on their site.
