Who wasn't looking forward to games against Miami, Syracuse, Pitt, Vtech, WVU? Every team in that Big East that we were set to join has left. Now, teams that came in after us are getting invites. That is a sobering fact.
I'm keeping my season tickets no matter what, despite the fact that the ticket office fugged me this year by up my order and I ended up two rows back. I'm hoping that if the home slate is going to be made up of Tulanes, and SMU's that the price will come down accordingly.
I don't know what this administration could have done differently, but when politicos agreed to finance this upgrade the conference were in isn't what they had in mind or what was sold to them as Big Time football. For the sake of everything that has been invested in this program, I'm hoping that there is a card yet to be played that is favorable to us.
I fear that The Rent is going to resemble those Conference USA on TV games where more than half the stadium is empty and there is no juice in the building. It isn't the people on this board, we will be there, but the casual fan who has no idea what the boneyard is, and they are out there, they're going to stop showing up. Going independent is a non starter for us.
Could we expand the stadium at this point to make us a sexier choice? Who is going to bank roll that given the predicament we are in? Like everyone else, I'm at a lost for words today. Sorry to clog up the board with another useless thread. Venting like everyone else I guess.
