I will be wealthier in 2013...

Post by AustinPerson »

That's b.c I can't see any reason to renew my season tickets in 2013. No need to make the $250 Mustang Club donation, people are giving away tickets every game, etc.

The current situation reminds me of the final year/years of the Georgia State Trooper and the Mustache. The only time a coach left on an upswing was Tom Rossley.

I bet on the day Turner/Hart announce June is coming back we'll see a nice long thread with many more fans stating they won't be renewing their season tickets next season. Damn shame we've gotten to this point.

I haven't paid for a ticket since I was a student but I've been to every home game.

I hear you! I've had to try and coerce friends to buy but they still don't see the point. Plenty o tix to be had for free on game day. A second generation of disengaged fans.

I'll support our student athletes regardless of the coach. It's not like empty seats are going to send a message to the people in charge, the seats have been empty for years

Well I guess SMU gets to see what a great job they did by accepting JJ back... we are in the worst spot possible for all this happen. Congrats ESPN, you are the god of college football apparently.

Like alum11 I won't be returning to fball games until jj is gone, nor will I support any of the athletic programs with donations. If RGT and the a.d. don't care about the success of our fball program why should we?????

86- I agree that the revenue loss might get their attention. I doubt if Hart or RGT read any emails as they are screened and most likely replied to by their secretaries.

why are you being so quick to assume that our AD, who has been at the job for about 6 weeks now, has no plan? don't you think it would have been pretty silly to fire JJ first thing on campus?

for god's sake, give him some time. didn't it take orsini about twice as long to find LB as hart has been here? this isn't an AD issue. might be in the future, but i find it hard to blame him at this point.

and why do you just assume there is no plan in place? becaase they didn't send you an email laying out their plan?

Not sure why I got season tix, i've sat in the seats for 2 quarters. Every other game I upgrade to the club for free because so many friends can't get rid of their tix

As for me I doubled my tickets to 4 because JJ has got SMU on track. I wanted to help 'grow' the crowd. I use to come to SMU games for free just to listen to the band. I amagine if people start bailing the big guys could decide football isn't worth the fight and I will have to go to concerts to hear the Mustang band.

As for me I plan to buy season tickets for 4 next season and hope we can move forward no matter who the coach is.
