Woof (now various ticket promotions related thread)

[Trim]

they may be reporting tickets given away at airports for the first time.

I bet they counted all three attempts to give them away too.

[lopakman]

Does this include tickets found in trashcans?

[sonofdaxjones]

If I'm wrong on this, I'll admit to being wrong.

I know this sounds kind of nutty given the fact that the old regime did very little if anything of significance to fill empty seats.   

If K-State has sold about 12,000 season tickets than that leaves about 6-800 unsold seats per game.   This is better than waiting around hoping for that many walk-ups because there probably isn't going to be that many walk-ups for a lot of those games.

Folks, nothing builds a resume for an AD like sold out sports venues.

You gotta think a little here.

[CNS]

Currie will effect the sales as much as possible and more than a normal AD.  oscar is his only hire so far and if Currie wants out, he has to have someone to point to as a successful hire.  Otherwise, he has to wait until Bill gives up, and Currie doesn't have what it takes to win that battle and come out well thought of.

If K-State has sold about 12,000 season tickets

My daily emails/texts/calls from K-State indicate they haven't.

So, those emails say how many season tickets have been sold?   Interesting if so.

[CNS]

Trim, one day soon you are going to say "yes" then they are going to mush your face and let you know that they never had any tickets since all have been sold out and that they have been baiting you as revenge for that hurtful survey. 

They may go as far as putting you on hold once you say yes only to have Currie pick up the phone and do the mushing.

That makes a lot more sense than that they haven't sold out their 12,000 season tickets.  Thanks CNS.  Sometimes I wish Dax was more straightforward and would cut to the chase.

[Dr Rick Daris]

while none of us really know, i think most logical people would pick the under on the whole 12k thing. pretty ridiculous to think they're that high or to even suggest it as a possibility. they aren't.

[Cartierfor3]

Maybe Cap'n Crap could settle this whole 12k debate.

[CNS]

I have a feeling that the athletic dept sold itself a whole bunch of Victory Ticket Plan seats in 24 and 25 at the $99 rate.

[Trim]

Maybe Cap'n Crap could settle this whole 12k debate.

He'd say fOOD is sold out, we'd lol, debate would rage on.

[sonofdaxjones]

It's one big pile of speculation, but the resident haters are going to think the absolute worst.

Sad

you're right dax. nobody should ever speculate on anything, but if we do we should always error on the side that says everything is great.

[scottwildcat]

they probably count every single ICat and GA combo pass they sold, then the "Victory Ticket Plan". There is no way (in my opinion) there were that many sold for basketball but ICat and GA Combo passes sold out and that = close to 7k tickets.

[sonofdaxjones]

Where did I say everything is great?

Just because you have a perpetual level of massive butthurt because your no recruiting hero up and bailed on K-State because he wasn't going to be able to mentally handle the downward trajectory that he created . . . and that Currie didn't subsequently hire somebody off of Bleacher Reports list of "up and coming" mid major coaches (while you and others fap it over a list of guys who are never, ever going to be walking the K-State sidelines) doesn't mean you (and others) have to spew forth nothing but pure hate 24/7/365 on this board, and I'm about as far away as you can get from being a Tuck.

[CNS]

The list of ppl that will never walk our sideline should be the short list in Currie's pocket in case oscar or Bill die today.

If it isn't, then it should be torn up and thrown away.

Self limitations are the worst.

you didn't. but there also weren't "resident haters think(ing) the absolute worst" and that was my point, dork. we are people on a message board discussing what we think is going on based on the information that is available to us. that's kind of what we do around here. do think they've sold about 12K? also, what is your definition of about? 10.5? 11?

Reality says many guys on the wish list are not coming to K-State.   Too many examples of fanbases thinking "they'll be lined up to coach here". 

Some guys are just better at mid-majors and oscar may be one of them.

Daris, don't pull the "just people talking on a message board" card now.  Ya freakin dork!

[CNS]

I definitely don't think that anyone has lined up to coach here other than Gottlieb and Undy in the recent past.  That said, our AD sat in a hotel room in Dallas and seems to have made three phone calls: 1. to some buddy consultant and asked him how much money he could pass to him during this process, 2. Gene Keady(sp?). and 3. oscar.

There is a big rough ridin' gap in doing what I say should be done and doing what Currie did.  It doesn't take butthurt to think so.

But you're gonna be all butthurt because Currie didn't do what YOU say should have been done

Okay

Yep.  I will do it on the football side too if he hires Chuck Weiss to replace bill without being told no by a bunch of other coaches because Chuck won some stuff a long time ago.

Nothing more than what you or anyone else has.  Just a quick timeline and no leaks what so ever about anyone else being offered the job like you often hear during other school's searches.

So in other words . . . nothing.  Nothing but what we all in our own minds THINK what happened, or didn't happen.
