*** Game 15 (Playoff Edition): @ James Madison ***

[Mudrafan]

Can you repost the posts where "many people" here posted that?

No thanks. Not a good use of my time and don’t care enough to but it happened. For sure on the basketball board and I saw it here too

Farley embarrasses the offense every time he takes over the playcalling or over rules the OC’s play calling. UNI offensive woes have never been the fault of the OC. The ones that get fired or leave go on to do great things, things that they were doing that got Farley’s attention before they came. The offensive issues, from play calling to putting the right athletes in the right spots to succeed, falls squarely on Farley. Get him out of the offensive mix and UNI may be able to advance farther.

But I guess as long as everyone is happy with another upper echelon finish in the conference, another first round playoff game, then life is good. No need to set the bar higher. Hopefully changes occur in a positive way in the offense, and not fire Mahaffey for Farley’s tampering. Otherwise it will be another wasted season with this great defense.

Jay Johnson should have been brought in as assistant head coach several yrs ago and given the offense. Then, when Farley was ready to hang it up, move him into a fundraising position and give the job to Johnson. That ship has now sailed and numerous seasons and talent falls short of potential. All sides (including Farley) deserve better

I would be willing to bet literally no one said that selling beer “would fix all problems”.

Could care less about getting into an argument about that but sure you would.

We don't have a room where the entire team can meet at the same time. They have team meetings in the area inside the NW Dome entrance.

sure we do, it's called the UNI Dome. that's a huge room, I'm sure they can fit the entire team in there.

We've got outdoor practice fields that are barely safe.

what's wrong with them?

Until 2 years ago our playing surface in the Dome was literally dangerous. Building a Dome 40 years ago doesn't magically give us great facilities.

I don't think people realize how far behind we are in the arms race.

drop football scholarships and join Drake in the PFL?

no, but people did say that it would help attendance.
And just judging from actual people in the stadium for the games, I'd say this was the lowest attendance season we've had. (at least in the decades I've attended)

Beer sales helped revenue. Nobody can argue that.

attendance is a combination of ridiculous ticket prices and stale seasons on the field.

You can charge that much money for FCS football.

going undefeated at home, having a top ten ranking, and making the quarterfinals of the playoffs is a "stale season"?

No need to argue, just show me where someone said selling beer would solve all of our attendance problems.

That is certainly a more accurate statement. But that was never going to be the case. No one goes to a game to get a beer. But it probably helped the fan experience for some that were already there and raised revenue. But if you thought attendance would go up simply because beer was available you’re dreaming.

They played nobody at home to brag about beating.

go undefeated at home next year and I will be impressed.

R&B...I don't know your financial situation, but it must be pretty fragile cuz it's incredible how much time you've spent worry about $25 football tickets on this site.

Chiming in here to say that as someone who is in an incredibly "fragile" financial situation, I can say with confidence that ticket prices have not encouraged nor discouraged be from going to a game. But, do keep in mind that I am posting on a forum dedicated to this university. I'm not the average person who would or would not buy a ticket.

Maybe uni should charge $95 a ticket if it matters to so few people.

those red seats in the uni dome are worthless, to brag about the value of those seats is a joke. People that buy those for their first uni experience may not come back because the sight lines are horrible.

If it doesn’t help. It hurts. Period.

our tickets are in $40 section. We laugh when uni is playing some turd team and ask each other if you would pay $160 to take a family of 4 to that particular game. The answer is no. Looking at the stands most agree with me.

if you don’t have season tickets the price for single games is way out of line.

It also turns away a lot of people including families. The answer was to make a special section for those that cannot go two hrs of their life without and prioritize over a football game. Then all are happy. My guess is those that *****ed about having it went once for the novelty and then that was it. It clearly didn’t spike attendance. The real answer is the student fees like the rest of the planet and real support from the state.

If beer sales turns away families they must be Amish.

Oh god they sell beer, protect my snowflake kids.

I guess these families never eat out anywhere besides fast food. Even Pancheros sells beer.
