First of all, as I said, I still support BYU as much as I ever have.
My point is that I understand the apathy of the fan base given the state of the program. I think your frustrations should be with the BYU program.

Preach on brother. If you're a true fan, you need to support the team and renew

agree to disagree. You can be pissed at the coaching staff, but I think

You can also do thst by watching the games on TV

Not the same. Pretty hard for the team to feel supported
Bostonblue

watching the game on TV is like sending to take your place on your honeymoon

What if you're watching it with your bride?

Take her to the game!

so you think I should fly from Australia for every home game just to be a "true"

I guess you missed the "if you live within a few hours" part

Sentiment is good, but let people decide themselves what makes a "true fan".

truth is truth, doesn't matter what people decide for themselves.
Bostonblue
2/28/15 9:25am
Are you equating "truth" as true fans buy tix?

I was referring to your point that its up to everyone to decide

Some idiot might think I'm not a true fan. I'm absolutely devastated.

Wow. That's harsh.
Bostonblue
2/28/15 9:49am
I'm not sure a fans opinion on a blog is classified as "BYU sports content".
Zach Morris
2/28/15 10:00am
So, you'd rather he just post his opinions on CB?
Bostonblue
2/28/15 10:23am
Couldn't care less where he posts. Just saying his post is still a post.
Zach Morris
2/28/15 10:26am
I think you could care less than you currently care.
Bostonblue
2/28/15 10:29am
That's what people do on message boards. Sorry for offending your blog.

You "don't have anything against his post"?

I don't know what a "true" fan is, but I think it's always important to
Shimmy
2/28/15 9:31am
By "true", I meant not a bandwagon fan. "Loyal, strong, and true"
Bostonblue
2/28/15 9:34am
I'd disagree with that because there are plenty of diehards that may not renew.
Shimmy
2/28/15 9:37am
I actually think the point is being made. Admins are hearing this type of

I think they're aware of the sentiment before ticket renewal time,

I've been "loyal, strong and true" for longer than you've been alive

I hope people don't renew & thereby force ticket prices back down for we who do.

2/28/15 9:34am
$75 per game season tickets are a bargain. And that money helps
Shimmy

If it clears the market, then I'll shush, but then why pen a "Buy tix!" article?

I know tickets are expensive, but for those that can afford it,

Stadium donor seats and you're complaining about $75 tickets? That's a bargain

You want to be a top 25 program but don't want to act like a top 25 program fan
ManicBlue
2/28/15 9:54am
BYU needs to clarify what the bigger obstacle is: low funds or low attendance?
Don't Muff It
2/28/15 10:09am
I'm pretty sure we need both.
Bostonblue
2/28/15 10:24am
They clearly are not mutually exclusive, but related, so BYU must balance them.
