    The new game time sales format is so dry (formerly Rice's ridiculous deal)...it was a lot more entertaining and FUN when Mike Rice was pitching the items...

    BRING back MIKE !!

    And the prices? 40 bucks for a t shirt is not a deal, dumbass marketing people. This segment in broadcasts defeats the purpose as it only highlights how exorbitant the prices are on the official site.

    They really haven't had good pricing in the team store. Need some better tshirts too. I like the retro47 brand

    It's not Rice...just liked him having fun with it...made it more amusing than what the new format is...so boring and one dimensional

    The deals are ridiculous because the prices, are, ridiculous. I think the marketing people don't quite get the concept of a "deal".

    I agree. Bring back Rice. But maybe he refused to shill their product when he had to take a double shot to bring himself to pretend it was any kind of deal at all.

    I agree...prices WAY to high for a "deal"...but at least it was more fun than the DRY promo they have now. I wouldn't buy a single thing with this
    style of sales tactic...at least with Rice, you'll feel a little better about parting with your money.

    There was a $40 flat billed hat a while ago too. And a $25 beannie wtf? I remember buying a $20 pair of socks at the gift shop because it was the only piece of clothing I had without a pinwheel. The price of being a real fan...
