No disrespect, but if you look at the division Nebraska used to play in, I don't know why anyone would think the big ten is easier. Nebraska, Missouri, Colorado, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State |
| 4 days 1 hour ago | More Conference Games? |
I would be okay going to 16 team conferences if it meant overhauling the schedule & playing 10 or 11 conference games (and all 7 other teams in your division). |

Injuries yes, but everybody thought "we had everybody back" because of Henne, Hart and Long. A lot of people overlooked the fact that we lost: David Harris, Alan Branch, LaMarr Woodley, Leon Hall, Prescott Burgess on Defense and Breaston and Bihl on Offense. There's seven key starters lost even before injuries. |

What are the odds the coaches are now "done" at RB (Levenberrry/LB style)? Odds this means we have room for taking 2 more WRs? Treadwell, Stringfellow, Allen on the board with interest and more offers still going out now. Thoughts? |
| 1 week 5 days ago | Offers? |
I assume "stolen" means any guy they had an offer out to, which... well, good luck with that. Nobody's anywhere close to batting 100% when top kids have like 10 to 20 offers. |

| 2 weeks 1 day ago | I'd be interested to know how |
I'd be interested to know how many non-student season ticket holders personally attend all 8 home games. Anecdotally from personal experience I think they are sold/given/shared a lot. Probably easier to get there on time if you're not going to your 3rd or 4th cupcake of the year and know that somebody better is next weekend. I think it's actually much harder to scalp student tickets because (1) for meh games the $40 validation cost to sell it to a non-student may be above market value for the ticket (2) "you can't put them on stubhub" (not sure how true that is, never tried). This is obviously by design because if you're a student, Brandon doesn't want you using your option for cheap student seats just to net a scalping profit for the whole year, so barriers are put up to make them harder to scalp. He'd rather sell an additional ticket to a grad for much more. Another part of the dynamic is the bundling of a whole season and leaving prices WAY closer together than market value. I personally saw UTL tickets going for $350-400, and back in undergrad EMU/Toledo/Delaware State tickets that you couldn't get $20 for. The real solution (IMO) is just make all the games good ones and people will show up. The big 5 conferences should cut the fat and play zero cupcake games. This necessitates an overhaul of the post-season so that non-conference losses don't hurt your chances or requires a system that coordinates your entire conference's non-conference schedule eliminating individual scheduling freedom. But in the end this would raise the week-in/week-out quality of regular season play. (Cue that devalues regular season/every game counts objection here.) But I would rather play a meaningless game against Alabama than a game that wrecks our chances if we lose against (insert MAC school).

Be careful with this idea. It's kind of self reinforcing. I don't care how big of a fan you are, if you have tickets in the 95th row sometimes you'd just rather watch a crappy weather EMU game on TV. I personally don't think you should punish someone for that. But if you're in row 5, you're probably more likely to show up on time for it anyway. (Yes I know - at least I think - that's not the type of late/no show most of you are angry about, but if they each counted against me the same in a points system, that's not the fairest way to go about it IMO.) Also you'd be incentivizing the kids who really are too drunk to be there to show up anyway. I would not be surprised to see a bunch of people show up and leave at half time, or send a batch of tickets with one person to get them all scanned. Also what about scalping tickets? If I pay to get my ticket validated and sell it for a huge markup to a crazy OSU fan who is there an hour before kickoff, is that good/behavior to be rewarded? At least the part about tracking the data for a few years before implementing a system is very logical, so plus one for that. - undergrad class of 2010
