anybody else having problems convincing themselves to renew their season tickets? i have no faith a good hire will be made.
-
maybe wait until a coach is hired, then decide :dunno:
-
If we hire oscar Pearl I will buy every available season ticket plus all those shitty top corner football tickets just so I can get a good view of where oscar holds services while at football games.
-
donations due this week
-
if people give up tickets before we hire a coach it won't look good in the coaching search. if you don't like the hire/year we have next year then dump them. Plus if you dump them now and we hire Pearl you will be all :bang: because I will have bought them all up by then and be :excited: :cheers: :emawkid: :ksu:
-
you know who doesn't give a eff how many season tickets we have sold? oscar Pearl
-
We are not hiring Pearl. :dubious:
-
Already pony'd up half my donation.
-
You pussies, fork over the god damn money.

I'm in.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong or whatever, but KSU Cat hoops, it's what I do.

16 years (including student ticket years). more than likely i'm going to renew.
this time it's going to hurt writing that check. like i'm supporting the decision
-
Depends on the coach for me. For Henson/Underwood/Jank/Boyle/Etcshit, I'd rather watch on TV and not drive the 2.5hrs. If we get someone with potential excitement (Pearl, Capel, Jay Z, NPH, etc), I'm all in. :emawkid:

There is a reason K-State fans are apprehensive...
We tried the assistant (Altman), the mid-major up and comer (Asbury), and the far out reach (Wooldridge). All failed miserably.
We then went hirable with baggage coach (success, even though he left) and really caught lightning in a bottle with Frank (mainly because of his connections with baggage coach).
Seems reasonable to go back to the hirable with baggage coach to me.

Called ticket office, don't know about yours, but my remainder donation isn't due until june 15

I think this is a good analogy and might be able to stomach it if Underwood has a more entertaining style of play the Dana did/does.

i've got to decide this week because the guy who gets our tickets - his company - matches our 'charitable' donation. so we only have to pay half. and apparently that takes a couple months to turn around.
writing the check now

I got a 12 page flyer for season tickets in the mail. It has the word "losses" in it twice, including on the cover. It does not have the words "coach" "oscar" or "weber" anywhere.

11 pages of close ups of Rohlender's face, i bet.

This exacerbates my conspiracy theory of Currie trying to make this Weber's last year.
-
Discounted concession items, hadn't noticed that before. And I'm sorry, I don't see how they put this out with players who aren't in K-State material. Some of the mug shots are ripped out of recruiting photos and look like crap. Coincidentally that is the only shot of Vulture.

Apparently, their ranks have swollen by 39% over last year.

total number will be down. giving those jerseys away if someone renewed on the first day obviously made first day numbers really high compared to last year where nothing was given away. creates the illusion of excitement.

It's odd how kstatesports brags about its sales. If a car salesman was earhole'n customers about how many cars he'd unloaded on rubes, it'd be really weird, no?

They shouldn't brag? They shouldn't say they set a record? You want them to have a crappy marketing staff?

I am in marketing. We usually brag about the performance of our product, not the sales of our product.

It never says don't question anything, or be a sunshine pumper — me personally, I take it as saying even if you do question stuff, or are unhappy about stuff, it's ok... it won't change the love you have for your school. You can be unhappy about last year and still love K-State. I would hope that describes just about all of us. That's what's great about K-State, we aren't tshirt fans.
Wichita State has plenty of "fans" right now, and lots of them probably never attended school there. If WSU goes 15-18 next year, will lots of those people still be "fans"? Probably not, because their investment is tied to liking winning. It is easy to be a t-shirt fan of a team when they win. Being a fan of a team that struggled last year is harder: if you're not a K-State grad or not part of the "family", whatever that means to you, then last year would be a pretty easy time to stop being a fan or stop attending the games.
But there are plenty of people that will still be fans, even after a season of losing. And personally I think the AD messaging speaks to those people... it says they know last year was hard, and we as fans shouldn't be happy about it, but they understand why you still come to games or buy gear or donate etc... it isn't because you like K-State only when they win.
I did not enjoy last year. I have no idea if next year will be better. But I'm still a K-State grad and a K-State fan, and this team and staff won't change that. So they will have my support as long as they wear the purple.

I think Currie frickin bought up a bunch of season tickets himself and will try and resale on the black market, even though he is guaranteed of losing major $$. He doesn't care, this way he looks good even after the biggest flame out of a season in the history, and he puts this out there, hoping others will see the "support", and buy in......... :sdeek: :buh-bye:

but we can agree that it would be another poster or something this year if the bball team was coming off a twenty win ncaa tournament appearance season. i mean it's ok to at least point this out and talk about it.

Maybe this was always the plan, maybe it was a reaction. I have no idea, and you don't either. You're making an assumption that supports your narrative.

i have a hunch and i think it's a more than reasonable one but you're right in saying i don't know. i also don't think i'm making an assumption that supports my narrative but i also know what's going on in my brain better than you so this discussion point is/was unfair from the start. saying i'm doing this is like trying telling me what my favorite color is or whether i find one person more attractive than the other.

written word sucks in comparison to spoken so why not make one the other. also i was an english major for like a year or so i think so i can get away with saying this and you can't call me on it. also, two classes with greg eiselein and two As so there.

It is a new thing. A give-away is different than a randomly awarded prize. I think you know that.

Would it be "praise" to the AD to say that this is the best give away they have ever had, or would it be shaming?
My guess is that CC is concerned that they are being shamed, when he should just be proud of it. Maybe I am wrong.

Well, CC previously cited American car companies and their advertising "best selling," so I think that he'd say that their failure to mention oscar is akin to American car companies not mentioning inferior products and recalls in their commercials.
That's just good business. Go cats.

I dont think its either. Its their job to sell tickets, and based on ticket sales across sports the last few years, they do pretty good.
You guys have a clear position that weber sucks and currie sucks, and no one should buy tickets or go to games until bw is fired. Thats ok.
You guys also distort facts or ignore them in order to support your position. For example, the gveaway item. I dont think thats ok. So i will point them out when i see them.

Great. Do you have examples of some that are comparable to giving away hundreds of free jerseys?

I think we can all agree that free jerseys, while completely unprecedented, are a good thing for fans who will likely enjoy far fewer traditional rewards by attending games this season than what they have enjoyed in the past (save for last year, of course).

a free jersey for getting tickets is absolutely fantastic and the person who thought it up should get a raise. it didn't quite make me pull the trigger but damn those lavenders are beautiful. also, there are tabs at the top of the page. one of them says "my messages". you should check it out when you get a chance.
