  1. Same issue for 20+ years.  You have to allow the tailgating to make it feel like a big time program, but SUPRISE, some late teen/ early 20’s kids would rather drink, hangout, be social with each other than go into a football game.  I agree that most won’t continue tailgating once the sun goes down, but those afternoon games sure make for a fun day.  

    I’m sure there are some of our students who got excited about the Top 25 votes, the big wins, the Heisman talk (which I believe led to some play calling mistakes by our coaches who wanted to pump up numbers) and then they saw it all pulled away from them with the 2 losses and a few close wins.  You’re going to have a tough time getting those folks into the games when they’re having fun.  Just keep winning.  There are 10’s of thousands of our students who didn’t make it within a hundred yards of the stadium.  Let’s focus on them.

    Dominate the 4 minutes prior-to & 4 minutes post halftime.

    Awesome.  Now it’s even worse though  because he doesn’t even try to say abbreviated ass anymore.

    i heard that 1 at the end of this week’s episode.  Hope that starts the resurgence!

  3. Clearly, the people on this Board are invested in the program. Financially.  Emotionally.  Intellectually.  We care enough to search out extra info and discussions about our program.  

    We (royal) need to figure out how to get the other students/alumni/local sports fans to “buy in”.  The coaches, players and ,finally, the Administration are all pulling in the same direction.  We’ve got big donors coming out of the woodwork.  We are waking the sleeping giant but it’s a DEEP sleeper.  15 years ago you had MAYBE a 1,000 people at Fouts for that same game.  It is getting better, but I feel like everyone is expecting Lucy to pull the football away from Charlie Brown.  

    Really, I feel like if we could just get more folks on GoMeanGreen.com we’d turn them into fans for life.  

    Kinda rambling.  We’re bleeping 6-1!!!!  GMG!!
