is this English or my stroke . . . personal is your way . . .

Figured you would find a way to avoid answering the question you can’t answer because you are dead wrong.

Just making sure you are understanding this has always been about how crowds are announced and not about the actual size of crowds. I realize since the stroke things are difficult for you.

well right now you are posting like you are mid-stroke . . . better get that checked . . . And I’m done with you here . . .

[Big Poppa]

Name one? . . . I answered it way more times than you expected . . . and every other poster besides you have agreed with me . . . you are on an island all alone . . . and like Turbine has repeatedly said and I agree with, this university, they one you claim a degree from . . . is Louisiana . . .

Just do this tell me the number on the post where you explained how reporting attendance numbers using ticket sales affects recruiting, scheduling, bowl invites… maybe I missed that answer.

Just sitting here this morning drinking my coffee and reread everyone of your responses. Not one of them talked about how reporting ticket sales as attendance instead of butts in the seats (which is the discussion we were having when you jumped in) affects that list of intangibles you listed. Not one response. If I am wrong tell me the post number and I’ll look at it. All of your responses were just personal shots at me and not about the issue. You have nothing to back up your claims. Every school in America counts attendance the way we do.

You are welcome to admit you are wrong and apologize for butting into our conversation at anytime.

You honestly think recruits make their decisions on the bases of if we report attendance on tickets sold or butts in the seat? Or opponents will or will not schedule you because you reported tickets sold and not butts in the seat? When they are reporting attendance the exact same way….. Come on Turbine. That’s what this guy is arguing here.

My opinion is that except for recruiting visits, tickets sold is the most important metric.

Have a ticket redemption game when you invite the recruits.

ps Game time atmosphere needs people too.

No doubt. But the conversation was never about 20k is better than 15k and 30k is better than 20k actual butts in the seat. I mean it doesn’t take freaking rocket scientist to figure that out.

The conversation was always about announced attendance. Some were suggesting it was propaganda to announce tickets sold vs butts in seats. However everyone uses tickets this day and age. Vic even suggested, when he butted into our conversation, it would even affect recruiting and scheduling amongst other things if you use the tickets sold method of attendance counting, which is just factually incorrect.

Evidently I read everything backwards

I figured you’d agree with me once you were clear. Great minds think alike.

Doing the same. I know you didn't ask for it, but I'll share anyway.. You've obviously been around long enough to have perspective and your opinions are rooted in experience. We have our disagreements, but your posts have substance and we need as much of that as we can get around here. Cheers.
