Maybe we should just get rid of everyone and find players and coaches that “want to win”, because the ones we have clearly aren’t meeting your expectations. Why not try rooting harder? What a self-entitled post. Geez.

Re: Gillin Presser Summary
I guess you’re tired of calling people stupid or dumb or selfish so you’ve decided to use entitled. Why don’t you just stop it. Name calling is very childish. There is no one on this board that has lived and died ASU more than me. I won’t justify your immature response with any further explanation. The discussion was not about me. It was a statement about the overall state of the our athletics. GEEZ !

Re: Gillin Presser Summary
My apologies if I accused you of something you didn’t do. Don’t call me entitled! I’m not “pissed” but I am disappointed in the overall state of ASU Athletics. I would prefer winning athletics which we do not have at this moment. That was my original point and that must have pissed you off. Instead of getting into a personal pissing contest why don’t we discuss athletics. If we can’t do that like adults I guess you’ll need to seek help as well.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 10:48 amGo find where I have called anyone “stupid”, “dumb” or “selfish”. I’ll wait.

Re: Gillin Presser Summary
We can discuss anything you like. The question is are you willing to listen? I don’t think that any of the members of this halfway house want anything else but to win. That’s what fans do. But no one here wants to win more than the athletes and coaches themselves. I don’t care how much you have lived or died ASU. You don’t want to win more than Clark, Kerns, Elderkin, or any of the other coaches do. Your comment wasn’t I want App to win. Your comment was, “I wanna win.” So was it entitled? Yep.

Re: Gillin Presser Summary

Re: Gillin Presser Summary
We haven’t won any championships in any sport. What do you suggest we can do to change that. But we were originally talking about the many enhancements to football and the game day experience . While I am very happy that we’re able to improve the game day experience and make KBS nicer I would prefer to hoist some championship trophy’s too,

Re: Gillin Presser Summary
My personal opinion.... enhancing Gameday experience makes fans want to attend which helps with consistent revenue. The east side project and potential revenue from that...adds revenue to all help with more available funds to compensate coaches at higher level....
We all want to win, but the two ideas are not mutually exclusive.
And, yes, if we do not consistently win, attendance may drop. However, there is a higher likelihood to not winning if we do not have funds to hire and keep right coaches for a longer period of time. Gameday experience and east side projects are critical to that endeavor. Just my opinion

Re: Gillin Presser Summary
I guess the first thing that I would do is ask Gillin and the coaches what I and we can do to help turn that around.
But all of that “fru-fru” as you call it is necessary. All or our programs need more funding to compete at the highest level possible. How do you generate the funding? By revenue streams that come from football ticket sales and parking. You need to consistently sell your game day experience and constantly improve upon it to compete with other avenues for entertainment dollars, as well as television platforms that make it cheaper to stay home. In short, you have to make it hard for your consumer to want to stay home versus head to the stadium.
Personally, I don’t see how folks endured the concourse overcrowding. I sit in the NEZ and traversed my way to the east stands once in 2021. I haven’t done it since. I wouldn’t stand in line for a soda and get pushed and shoved by people trying to get by. I’m there to watch a game, not stand in line. So anything improvements to the game day experience in KBS helps every other program.

Thanks. Fair ! I don’t disagree but if it were me I would start by trying to answer the question : Why do we not have enough money to compete at a higher level across the board? It all gets back to money. We need more . Wonder what could be done to get more money than we have.

Re: Gillin Presser Summary
IMO because volleyball is not a revenue generating sport it takes a back seat to football. That is reality. So football is voting to get first priority over all the other sports, period.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 4:36 pmI would add the question as to how will money help?

Re: Gillin Presser Summary
The people we have in place to make that Decision should know what an extra $100,000 would do. I would say that it would not hurt. I agree that football should and does get priority for the big bucks. I would add that we should increase the membership in the Yosef Club as a first step. (Not an increase in membership cost but an increase in numbers of members)AtlAppMan wrote: ↑Mon Dec 19, 2022 4:44 pmIMO because volleyball is not a revenue generating sport it takes a back seat to football.
