I forgot we were talking about AI.

I am not sure Rob Gronkowski would be a step backwards but I wouldn't be thrilled about it either.

I think it was DMAC or somebody that would run the Wildcat and it was super obvious who was taking the ball based on the motion man. Or there was some tell I can't remember exactly.

Then there was one year where our center was tipping off the play based on how he held the ball and it took our staff about 10 months to figure it out.
"I got fired for using free speech" yea imagine getting killed over it

Son of Spam

Third and 1 or less. So, we pitch the ball to a RB 7 yards deep and hope he can make it. Drives me crazy.
Well, shit...

I don't think promoting the sports accomplishments with the amount of money fleeced from the fans sends the message they think it does.

That did seem more like it should be an internal self-congratulatory note.

arkansas is towards the bottom of sec schools as far as ticket prices. this was in 2023 and while they have gone up some, i seriously doubt the are higher than middle of the pack at best.

We're not even middle of the pack in product on the field, so why would we be higher than that in ticket prices?

Economically I wouldn't pay Prime ribeye prices for 80% ground chuck.

because you know that's not how it works.

if you think they're too high, quit watching, going to games, buying merch, etc.

Wait, Vanderbilt tickets (or Arkansas State) are as valuable as Alabama or Georgia tickets?

Everything that's in a market follows the laws of economics.

who said that?

again if people think the prices are too high, quit supporting the program and they would change. obviously there is enough interest and demand (how the market is set) that they can charge the prices they do. when shit isn't selling, it goes on sale. you know, economics.

Which leads us back to....why would I (anyone) pay high dollar steak prices for ground chuck?

That IS how it works.

you don't have to. just because you might be asked, there's no obligation to do so.

if that graphic is right, 73k choose to pay it regardless how i, or anyone else, might feel. not seeing the disagreement here.

He fucked it away.  He should have been shot, hanged, and burned at the fucking stake for what he did.

I guess the approach of "we're only middle of the pack in SEC ticket pricing" struck me as all wrong, to me it's more like "can you believe we are middle of the pack in SEC ticket pricing when results and state population and fan base should put us more like 13th or 14th?"

At the time, I seem to remember most of the fan base clamoring for less ground game, more Gus & Mitch air raid offense.
Things of that nature

Interesting the department generated record revenue but still offered many staff retirement packages this summer (some took and some didn't) and after that was taken off the table, 10% of their staff lost their jobs (and insurance). Some were then hired back at a much lower salary.

Is someone trying to impress the folks on our eastern border who are looking for an AD?
