    I stopped reading when OP wrote that she should be disqualified for acknowledging the fact that a lot people would rather stay home and watch the game.

    And spare me the reply where you explain yourself. She stated a fact that all sports have to deal with and you said that automatically disqualified her. Dumb.

    This is a problem in college football but not really an issue for any other sport ... you can watch just about everything at home but people still go to games. Why?

    Who the fuck goes to professional sports games vs. staying out home and getting fucked up, watching it on your big screen? It's a problem with sports in general and it starts with ticket prices, beer prices, and traffic.

    When leagues are routinely putting up record setting attendance numbers year after year, the facts aren't on your side.

    Everybody talks about how boring baseball is in our ADD society yet they are getting people to show up at levels they never have before. What are they doing right?

    I don't disagree with you that you can make arguments around ticket prices, beer prices, etc., but the reality is that if the mix is right, attendance isn't an issue. Anything less than that is a cop out.

    Exhibit A during the season... @Tequilla posting on Oct 16th 2012 about 2013 being special right in the middle of an annual Sark 3 game losing streak

    Exhibit B after another 7-6 season from Sark... @Tequilla on December 26th 2012 after a loss to BSU saying "UW is right on track to becoming a major player in the pac12 going forward" under Sark and achieving a minimum 10 wins in 2013

    Its just another off season championship complete with the typical doogisms of old

    He said expectations are 10 win minimum for 2013. And once it was clear those expectations weren't going to be met in the 2013 season Tequilla was on bored the fire Sark train.

    There are a lot of things you can call teq out on, but I don't see what this one does I guess.
