Zane is a local guy and is one of the announcers for USI, so he is pretty trustworthy I’m not mad about that. Our seats are right behind the visitors sideline. We are always surrounded by the other team’s fans so the selling is a big problem. It seems like it’s always the same seats, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're buying season tickets with the intent on reselling them for profit, you deserve to get them revoked. As an alumnus who tries to go to both BB and FB games at least once a year, it's tiresome to have to spend $200 for BB tix and $100+ for FB. It used to be season ticket holders would sell them at a reasonable price on IU forums or what have you, now like any ticket purchase, you end up spending double face plus fees. There's no way to stop this, but if that is the intent of a season ticket holder, that's just lame.

Agreed completely that’s why I said it’s balanced on both sides. I think your example and my example are totally a small sample on both ends of spectrum that’s hopefully middle of both at worst and your example at best.

I dont care who the coach is or how successful they are, you can always find players/parents that hate them. Unfortunately my examples are not polling, they are documented example with receipts.

My point is, you can probably find just as many former players and their parents with the opposite receipts. That's the nature of coaching.

Agreed, as someone that has coached I have seen it as well. Also things change and you can’t always hold up to what you once promise. But that to me is the issue, don’t promise anything. And definitely don’t put it in writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to know what you mean by "put it in writing..." So CTA is giving players and/or parents stuff in writing? Like "You will play..." That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard regardless if it's about playing time or anything else.

Maybe people shouldn’t take digital messaging at its word just like maybe I should let it go before happy hour gets me saying even more than I should. Gonna leave it here.

I wasn’t questioning your comment, more like if he’s really making nutty promises about immediate playing time to freshmen, that’s a problem. 90% of freshmen FB players aren’t ready to contribute immediately, especially most of our recruits.

Literally not even tweetable worthy news. A guy trying to get clicks and create false hysteria. Correct me if I'm wrong. Also, this is done by others, including pro teams. I assume their marketing people crunched the numbers and they are comfortable with the outcome. Teams don’t want rival fans storming their stadium. With digital ticket tracking, teams can find this info out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boiler Sam Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 6 hours ago, OGIUAndy said: This is a good thing in regards to his faith, but not so good if this also relates to his coaching. What he's preaching there doesn't seemed to be in practice (enough) and if it is, he's preaching the wrong message. I think we all know he's a good person and a god fearing man, most are skeptical of his ability to coach at this level, develop players (not the person, the player), and make adjustments both on and off the field (and quickly). I am not a CTA basher, but at this level, being a good person only goes so far. You have to win too. I do credit him for the two good seasons, all seasons and games have "fluky" stuff. But I also will blame him for some poor performances regardless of the limitations within the program. They lost a few games this year that they should not have. Win those and we're not talking about him AT ALL. I think Tom is a classic example of the Peter Principle: promoted 1 step past his level of competence. Not really his fault, was he supposed to have told Glass no ? Then: He inherits a good OL, hires a great OC, gets a QB, and boom, big extension. Crazy story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I think he is a hop, skip and a jump from his competence level. To me he is more qualified to be a cheerleading coach.

I originally bought season tickets to accrue points, which an IU employee sold me on doing. I live in Chicago and don't have a car and can't go to most games. The first year, I sold the tickets to make some of my money back (definitely did not come close to turning a profit). Now I have tickets with my uncle and just give them to him when I can't go, and I honestly don't care because you make so little money selling the tickets. Kind of seems like a beggars can't be choosers situation to me. You should be happy anyone is willing to buy them to watch this awful product.
