Really its about my family. The game days I get to have with my kids. Sure they are not always wins but my kids love it. I hope one day they will take their kids too.

First off, I know I get called out by pookah and red just about every week as a bad fan in their podcast. I know this because I've listened to every episode since they started it. I love the show. Fir

We ALL have soap boxes.  Without them, this would be no fun.

Assuming the student "problem" is that all of the tickets are requested and allocated, but only 20%-30% of them actually show, meaning students who request too late and would actually attend the game don't get tickets.  If that is correct, it's a really bad process.  We need the process and the opportunity to intersect here so we maximize a student attendance win.

I believe they get the information about which tickets are used to enter.  I always get a "thanks for attending the game" email after the game...but I've never missed one, so I don't know if it is a "smart" email or not.  

I think its probably a catch 22.  USF probably wants to make it as easy as possible for every student to get a ticket.  But yeah, if people are taking them and not showing up, that's an issue.  Maybe this all goes away when we get our own stadium.   How does UF/FSU do it?  Do the students have to request a ticket in advance, or do they just show up with a student id first come first serve?

How they did the ticket process last year was to give out the tickets the week of the game, this year they just gave them out at the start of the year and they all "sold out" before the season started. I feel like this is what caused the lack of students, the people who claimed the tickets before the season didn't show up. If they gave them out the week of, that would allow the people who want to go to claim the tickets and people who know they cant make it won't claim them.

Some students claimed tickets just so they could resell them to students who couldn't claim them... it's a horrible process.

Yikes, let's hope the ticket folks know that this didn't work out or at the very least CAG. He seems like a guy that would ask them to review the process and fix it.

Don't really know how big, if any, a part that played but it is interesting that the city of Memphis just announced transferring ownership of Liberty Stadium to the university ...
