MSU Car Tag Question...Does anyone know why

[aTotal360]

Alabama residents had to preorder X amount and Georgia residents didn't?

 

[Augustus McCrae]

I believe Georgia did, but the Alumni Association footed the bill for the first 1000.

 

[aTotal360]

Gotcha. I ordered mine (GA) the other day and was just curious because the Alabama tag drive was such a big deal for the last couple weeks it ran.

 

[57stratdawg]

Yeah. Apparently the Atl MSU Association is loaded.

 

[aTotal360]

You're welcome.**

 

[Dawgzilla]

I'm appreciative, and I have the paperwork to get my tag, but what took them so long to do this????

Alabama drive was ..

Gotcha. I ordered mine (GA) the other day and was just curious because the Alabama tag drive was such a big deal for the last couple weeks it ran.

up against a hard 'deadline.' Had to have a certain number by a specified date.

Virginia leads the nation in number of specialized plates. VA currently has 111 different 'college' plates .. Both UVA and VA Tech have four different plates. SEC Schools that have plates in VA are Auburn, Florida, A&M and USCe.

I think that MSU has a plate on file with Virginia and when/if a certain number of deposits are sent in, they will release the plate.

Also, Alabama State Laws wouldn't let the Alumni Association purchase the first 1,000 here. They required the prereq commitments to come from various individuals. Obviously, GA doesn't have those same requirements.

 

[Augustus McCrae]

Any idea why that's a state law in AL? Seems to me the state shouldn't care where the money comes from as long as they get it.

FYI, keep your eye on the computer screen when the lady behind the counter starts filling out your request. Evidently the Mississippi State code is wrong in computer system. The system show the code is "MU". The lady entered it and it gave her an error. So she flipped it to "UM", and declared "got it! the code was backwards, but i figured it out." I peeked around the corner at her monitor and sure as ****, she was about to send me an Ole Miss tag. Luckily I saw it. After about 15 minutes of calls she learns the code is "MP", not "MU" like the system says. Good luck...

 

[Dawgzilla]

If they give me a UMiss tag, I might have to sue. Not sure what my damages are just yet, but I'm pretty sure the trauma will be too much for me to take. Years of therapy and physical ailments....

 

[57stratdawg]

My guess is that the UA and AU fans in Alabama don't really want a MSU plate riding around, and they want to make it as difficult as possible to obtain.

 

[bknight.sixpack]

We ordered ours last week. The website showed MU as the code but it would not work. Clerk actually found the right code on a memo that had been sent. She used MP to order our tag.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Wow. Thanks for that tip. I would definitely show my *** if I received a UM tag.

 

[Dawgzilla]

My guess is their computer system is not set up for advance purchases.

 

[MaroonNation]

My guess is that every inmate in Alabama knows how to spell ROLL TIDE but it took them awhile to learn HAIL STATE.

 

[maroonmania]

Wow. Thanks for that tip. I would definitely show my *** if I received a UM tag.

So UM actually got their tag in AL? They were well behind in allotments when the MSU tag met the quota but I never paid attention to what happened with theirs after that.

 

[aTotal360]

Wrong state, bruh.

 

[maroonmania]

Wrong state, bruh.

OK, lost track that this part of the thread was about GA.

 

[00Dawg]

They'll eventually get one in Alabama.

It won't be as nice as ours, but they had over 400 pre-commitments, and it only takes 250 to get the lesser version (black Alabama text with a single logo sticker).

 

[Shamoan]

im like 74% sure adidas is behind it. lets blame them.
