I see I made the correct decision to quit reading this thread a couple of days ago. Should've stayed away, and I will now.

But you knew the thread would eventually go off the rails. That is why you peeped back to check on it.

I am with you Brother. I just saw the craziness and couldn’t resist the temptation to fuel the fire. Sorry you had to see it.

Luke can go put on baby blue for all I care now. He didn’t even graduate.

Really? Here is the deal Luke puts out a product that makes a profit so he should get paid. APP football profit wise .......well
One thing has not changed over the years. We still want someon else to pay for our entertainment.

Haven't watched yet, but it just came out.

There are more and more people I hear of deciding not to renew their tickets. You can't put crap on the field, ask for more money, and then expect to get everyone to keep paying. It would not shock me if we see a sharp decline in revenue if the team does not have a winning season this year.

If anyone is interested, Luke will be on Hot Ones this Thursday.

Let's see how he reacts to Da Bomb.

I just hope he doesn’t do vegan boneless.

Cleaned about every wing.

I just hope he can finish the challenge. I know it won't be as entertaining as Shaq's, and I don't expect him to have the massive testicles as Stone Cold, who breezed through it, but I do hope he can handle it. I've done some spicy mess in my life, including things you had to sign for. One of the most ridiculous ones I've had was at one of those Nashville hot chicken places in Nashville. I don't remember the name now, but it was one of the older, famous ones. It wasn't just stupid hot, but the flavor was awful. It is much easier to take the heat when the meat still tastes good.

Made it through without milk, almost went for it at one point. Really Da Bomb was the only struggle it seemed.

Funny that the Da Bomb question was about CookOut.

Sounds good; I tried an attempt at humor…it wasn’t well received
You go first, I’ll shut the door on the way out.

I don't call people who have been season ticket holders for 20, 30, 40, or even 50 years fair weather fans. They will most certainly follow online and on TV. I think some people just look at rising prices and they are making decisions that have become easier with players able to transfer at any time and seeing that we are going in massive debt with no ROI. Loggains and the admin as a whole are burning through cash at a far faster pace than any prior AD and HC combo we have ever had. When people hear that and see ticket prices rise they want to see improved results. You can't raise prices going 5-7 but if you are going 9-3 or better then you can. I am really hoping we have a big year in 2026 to justify the massive price hikes.

Describing Cookout as like Chik fil a without the camp counselors was pretty good.

What massive price hikes? Are you speaking in generalities? My tickets didn’t go up and I believe that athletics made a statement that they weren’t raising prices? Folks can choose to do what they wish with their disposable income. The people that jump at the sign of trouble and come back when things are turned around definitely qualify as fair weather.

It has been a few down years. We have a 50+ year history. Yes, that is fair weather fans. People can do what they want with their money. It is their money. And I have my opinion as it is mine. If you have been involved for the good years however, jumping ship after a few down years is a fair weather fan.

If people make conscious decisions to not continue as fans because the overall cost of living issues and have to make hard decisions in order to live, totally different story.

Technically correct saying 50+ but we are two years away form the 100th Anniversary of our first football game. And with very few exceptions we have been winners. Those years in non-NCAA football are important in our history and should be celebrated as well.

Hence 50+. Thanks Cliff Clavin

I did not say ticket prices. I just said raise prices and I am alluding to parking. I have heard several people say they are being asked to give more to keep their same parking spots.

Your latter statement is what I am talking about and they would still be fans but simply not spend extra to come to games and watch on TV or online. I know folks who spend all their disposable income on App and if certain prices in their every day lives are going up and then App is asking for more with parking then it is fair to decide not to struggle and skip out on it. It becomes even easier when you see how plays act and certain things like parking increase.

Parking is simple economics of supply and demand. We don’t have a lot of it so the demand is high. Again, people can do what they want with their money. None of my business and I won’t shame anyone for fiscal responsibility, but the parking price hikes aren’t a hill that I’d die on. I can go park at 1st Baptist Church for about less than $150 for the year.

Or people have been fed up with no ice for cups for years and the on field performance was the last straw.
