at least the ones who are fairweather only,
and the ones that act like the team is absolute crap when there is the slightest bit of a downturn.Originally posted by dragon View PostIf only it were that easy. I just hope this season doesn't turn away a lot of the fair weather fans who decided to buy season tickets after the IA State win.

Re: Tank this season?
Uni will likely never have a large die hard fanbase. You couldnt get a ticket at the end of Sanders career. Where did all those people go? You cant say uni wasnt fun to watch that year.
Uni basketball sells tickets for $5 just a few years after the sweet 16.
Two bcs conference schools in a state this size makes for a very steep hill to climb.
Having gone to games the last 20+ years i can say with confidence this season sucks. Looking forward to next year.Last edited by run&blade; 10-29-2013, 06:16 PM.

If it didn't, you would be nowhere to be found.Originally posted by TH1974This guy was all-UNI, and wanted to show it by pretending to play a non-existant musical instrument in public.

You are what your record says it is
Blame the coach or the talent or both. Nothing else to blame.
Uni will goes as far as Olivier takes them. (He did nothing and uni was a repeat of the prior season)
Boy these were sure major attacks. I should have just said i love this team and next year things will be better.
People want to act like uni is bigtime but if you dare criticize them a certain segment of the fan base acts like you just beat up a girl scout.Last edited by run&blade; 10-29-2013, 06:38 PM.

Now on the professional level, I think it is different. As a fan you can vote with your dollar. For instance, what incentive does Cubs ownership have to put a contender on the field? Not much, because they make hands over fist cash regardless of how bad the Cubs are. If Cub fans quit showing up, they would have a champion contender in 5 years. Even Lamar Hunt one time when asked, if he would rather have an 8-8 team that made money, or a Super Bowl team that lost money, choose the team that made money.The best revenge is massive success. -Frank Sinatra

Winning does help and having super strong teams like the UNI '07 team does fill seats. KC has always said, including some recent interviews, that the '07 UNI team was the best team he has ever coached against. That they were significantly better than the Navy, Maryland, and Appy State teams we faced during his coaching days in Newark. He said that team had more talent and the Dome was so hard to play in, that if UD had played UNI 100 times we would have lost 99 of them. I think that speaks volumes considering the fact that he usually follows this by stating how much he hates Farley and how he challenged him to a fist fight in an Abby's parking lot.
I hope you guys go 4-0...It will be interesting to see how this attendance issue plays out on all levels of football. Just know, it's everywhere.The Dude Abides
