Jesus people. He's doing a nice service and supporting the University. If you don't like it, don't buy from him.

OK....but don't come crying to me if you get anthrax....

(I'm just kidding Rangerocket...I've always liked the UT ROTC crowd since they used to let me and my friends play basketball in their building when I was a skinny little punk HS kid in the 70's.)

As long as he's not filing some frivilous lawsuit against the university (like a certain local business that makes major $$$ off university students), I'll browse the sight and see if there's anything I'm interested in. I've browsed his TU store website and would like to see some of those items for BGSU. He does have some different products.

Thanks Pat!

This could be a trap....

Actually I believe it was Smallpox...........

Wasn't directed at you Flipper. Frankly anthrax might be interesting. I wonder how much time of work I'd get for that.

This is the second Id, Ego and Superego reference I've heard in the last 25 minutes.

Of course, the other one was in relation to a trio of Boston Terriers, so I don't think they're related.

I was there from 74-78. I remember a lot of pickup basketball games in the Armory.

As for making any money, we lost several thousand dollars last year with the Rockets initiative, expect pretty much the same getting the BG initiative up and running. Hopefully things will be successful in the long run.

As was pointed out, BG and UT get their licensing fee (approximately 10% of the wholesale price) when we purchase items from the supplier. We assume the risk in having to retain inventory (in various sizes) until it sells. Most items must be ordered in large quantities. Even ordering small novelty items (e.g., mini helmets) gets expensive very quickly.

I am troubled why people would act negatively to The Falcon Store???

Nobody has ever heard of The Buckeye/Wolverine Store? I think there are like 3 locations in NW Ohio. In Iowa there are many Cy/Hawk Stores for Iowa and Iowa State.

Solidarity among MAC fans- we (I hope to provide some designs) are working to provide DIFFERENT and actually DESIRABLE clothing and merchandise for our fan bases.

As a fan I am frustrated when I see cool items for "big" programs but can't get them in burnt orange and seal brown. Kudos to RangerRocket for a. meeting the needs of his fan base and b. recognizing other potential markets, even within a rivalry.

/end rant.

Yes. See www.therocketstore.com. Trying to corner the MAC merchandise market and challenge Bill Gates as the richest man in the world.....

Capitalism brings us all together.

Well.......... at least no one has expressed any problems with the site's logo (yet).

Thanks for all of the support. It will take us a while but hopefully it will turn out to be a well-received site.

As long as the falcon is not getting pi$$ed on by a rocket, I don't mind.

Any time a person can support six pack abs through down, I'm good!

Nicely done, Ranger. Looking forward to scanning the wares.
