BYU will start losing fan interest this year.

Good to know. Keep us updated.

Chicken Little and UoU fans predicted this when UoU got the PAC 10.2 invite

I would like to lose 10% of our fan base.

That is a ton of cash but I'm afraid you're going to get your wish.

sooner the better

For BYU, TV is a higher priority than $, so BYU is OK w/ discounting to fill LES
Don't Muff It
7/30/14 7:11pm
As long as I can choose the 10%, Id be ok with it, too

And then they could install movie theatre seats! Can't wait.

Hopefully we can ditch independence, yes, but not for a lame conference.
LiveCoug
7/30/14 6:23pm
LOL We're not joining any G5 league until 2019--unless we can keep our ESPN deal
Don't Muff It
7/30/14 6:26pm
And if we join a lame league in 2019, that is a very very bad sign.
LiveCoug
7/30/14 6:30pm
Only join a P5 or equivalent conference. No MWC please!
Archaea

Independence got me to my first game in person in years
gustav88
7/30/14 6:33pm
the valid part of this argument is the lack of fun
Archaea
7/30/14 6:39pm
Which is no different than if we were in the Big12.
PolarisPrime
7/30/14 7:40pm
Not in the SEC.
Archaea
7/30/14 7:42pm
In most years even a team from the SEC would need to be undefeated.
PolarisPrime
7/30/14 7:54pm
$50 says any one loss SEC champion is in the playoff 10 out of 10 years.
unctoothman
7/30/14 8:44pm
That is probably true
PolarisPrime

I disagree

As long as we remain a cheap first date, we will always get good attendance.

Maybe we should have Super Diamond come out and lead us.

It will lose the well of excitement, to be certain.
Archaea

your shtick is old
binghammer
7/30/14 6:48pm
Ignore me.
Walter Bellhaven
7/30/14 6:49pm
more fun to laugh at you
binghammer
7/30/14 6:56pm
Well is it getting old or is it funny?
Walter Bellhaven
7/30/14 6:59pm
the fact that you are such a broken record definitely makes for some amusement
binghammer
7/30/14 7:02pm
So it's not getting old then?
Walter Bellhaven
7/30/14 7:04pm
It's definitely old, I never said otherwise
binghammer
7/30/14 7:09pm
So it's an English duel huh?
Walter Bellhaven
7/30/14 7:10pm
Whatever takes the spotlight off you after you say something ignorant
binghammer
7/30/14 7:12pm
Well at least you're optimistic about your 2nd grade education.
Walter Bellhaven
7/30/14 7:14pm
You corrected it and are now passing with a 75%
Walter Bellhaven
7/30/14 7:12pm
and your original post is still just as ignorant as it was originally
binghammer
7/30/14 7:14pm
I guess we'll see.
Walter Bellhaven
7/30/14 7:16pm
Let me know when you change it

You showed him with your overwhelming onslaught of analysis and wit.
Archaea

Doesn't take much with him, or you actually
binghammer
7/30/14 7:33pm
You might disagree with him, but
Archaea
7/30/14 7:37pm
I've attempted to debate it out with facts
binghammer
7/30/14 7:41pm
Here are the conclusions, as supported by past years.
Archaea
7/30/14 7:44pm
He said "lose interest"
binghammer
7/30/14 7:49pm
Fans will lose interest.
Archaea
7/30/14 7:50pm
sure, him and 4 others with his same problem will throw themselves
binghammer
7/30/14 7:55pm
I know grammar and synatax don't matter to you, but they
Archaea
7/30/14 8:01pm
Ironic that you start in on me about attacking him

Pointing out poor writing is NOT an ad hominem attack.
Archaea
7/31/14 8:51am

binghammer
7/31/14 10:39am
"weak minds" is an insult by the way. Are you capable of engaging without
Archaea
7/31/14 3:04pm
Just playing on your level bud
binghammer
7/31/14 3:24pm
You haven't identified a single insult by me. You must be confusing my posts
Archaea
7/31/14 4:15pm
It's cool, I'm not mad at you
binghammer
7/31/14 4:37pm
Any examples where I have been proven wrong?

Can we stop pretending like differentiating you're versus your is a miracle?
QuinneyCoug
7/30/14 7:26pm
You're correct, but it is irritating to see so much bad syntax
Archaea
7/30/14 7:32pm
Did they teach you reading comprehension back when you were in school?
Hotty-Toddy-Reb
7/30/14 7:45pm
This is another example of the sort of annoying behavior we see on the internet.

I would contend every team loses some fan interest unless an undefeated season

Most teams would gain fan interest back if they were to win 4 in a row

so?

The more viewers the more you are part of the discussion locally, regionally

BYU is a regional brand with potential for becoming quasi-national
