87,000 people ---Are you kidding me---Just 87,000 people?

Check this out:

On Thursday, March 5, 2009, The Michigan Daily confirmed rumors that a "Cold War II", A Michigan vs Michigan St. hockey game, would take place at Michigan Stadium on December 11, 2010. The event is now being officially called "The Big Chill at the Big House", and over 100,000 tickets had been sold by May 6, 2010, when UM stopped sales to the general public. The remaining seats are being set aside for students.

ROTFLMAO---A college hockey game will attract more people than the Beckathon of Fools Circle Jerk in DC.

1. The last place Washington Nationals drew 31,000 the same day.
Beck's rally is really laughable.

3. Whitestock. Very, very clever. I hope it catches on when they do something particularly obnoxious
and insulting - signs especially.

12. I listened to Beck today...
...and he estimates the crowd to have been between 500,000 - 600,000 people.

And anyone who disagrees with him, including those who estimate crowd numbers for
a living--are hateful, bastard, communist, God-hating, puppy killing LIARS.

Really. You should listen. The man is so full of himself and his lil rally. Beck is
working hard to convince these misfits that their radical, bizarre agenda is the
most beautiful and wise movement of the century.

It's a movement all right...

14. trouble is, the true believers will believe. i agree, with all the free publicity he got
Edited on Tue Aug-31-10 03:00 AM by Hannah Bell
& all the money behind him, it should have been bigger. if he had a real following, that is.

i don't think he does. but things can change depending on conditions.

the conditions would be if his upper-middle constituency starts to feel the pinch.

13. Millions of dollars in free promotion
And that's all they could do. It's pathetic. They can lie all they want, the support of these miscreants
was put to the test and they failed. k*r
