If I feel an opinion is wrong I am going to express it. I think there are quiet a few people who support Joey and are on this board. Be thankful we are are not Cincy...they don't even have a beat writer. Now, if you think some of the columnist in Tampa are dicks in their support about USF, then I am with you.

The goal wasn't stated, but it's readily apparent that you're carrying the contrary side of the argument in great amounts, so seems pretty clear to me ... at least on this topic.

I don't think a discussion board is ever a place to change people's minds, although I guess it can happen sometimes. I do not agree with "everything" Joey writes and reports on. However, my point is that it is Tampa in general and USF alumni/fans specifically contribute to Joey's reporting on this issue, and if we don't agree with what he is saying we have no one to blame but ourselfs for not getting to the stadium (thus, I think Joey is a bit of a scape goat here for us fans who really care about the program). Again, I hate saying that as I don't live in Florida any longer and can't back up what I am saying with action of my own.

All Joey is doing is reporting on what that number actually is. At some point I'll try to find where I got this but I distinctly remember (as distinctly as I can remember) from conversations past about it being revealed that long before JK, the actual number wasn't "published" but was available if you contacted the TSA. At some point they said they were getting so many requests that they just started preemptively putting it out in a release. So now JK can use the excuse that he's just reporting something he's given, not that he's digging anything up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought the exact opposite. Curious who the people are that would proactively reach out to get this number other than those directly involved with the logistics of the arrangement. I have seen JK tweet that he's "just reporting facts" but guess I underestimate how many people are interested in that particular fact. To New England Bull's point, if we can just fill the dang stadium it becomes a nonissue. Until then, JK will continue to annoy me each week.

USF also releases a number, and Joey could just as easily use that number, like everybody else does. Why use one easily obtained number over another? It's JK's own choice to use the TSA number, and deserves to be ridiculed for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the NFL has a policy on reporting attendance, or whether it is up to the individual teams. Do the BUCS report actual game attendance or tickets distributed? If they report tickets distributed, does Greg Auman, the current Bucs beat writer, then tweet out their actual attendance for each game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He absolutely does .... but just pointing out that this wasn't started by him but you're right, he does has the power to not continue it, but he chooses not to.

Have seen both numbers for the Bucs in the newspaper but no idea if they're both conveyed through any other means to the masses ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
