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.

Walter Bellhaven

charles

7/30/14 6:24pm

For BYU, TV is a higher priority than $, so BYU is OK w/ discounting to fill LES

As long as I can choose the 10%, Id be ok with it, too

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.

That is probably true

PolarisPrime

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.

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

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

You might disagree with him, but

Archaea

I've attempted to debate it out with facts

binghammer

Here are the conclusions, as supported by past years.

Archaea

He said "lose interest"

binghammer

Fans will lose interest.

Ironic that you start in on me about attacking him

binghammer

"weak minds" is an insult by the way. Are you capable of engaging without

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.
