JoeP, “USF season tickets down 16.2 percent from last year’s total,” is not misleading. It’s comparing today’s numbers with last year’s total. I also reported how many more need to be sold to match last year’s total: 4,530 tickets. According to USF, the numbers are about 12 percent off last year’s total. A month ago, I believe they were about 9 percent off last year’s total at that time, so based on the past month, they’re on pace to end up between 12 and 16 percent off last year’s total. '

Well he is getting the attention he wants....he actually has responses now.

I love this one from JoeP addressing McMurphy's sensational and exaggerating headlines and his expectation of how USF will end with ticket sales:

Thanks, Brett.  I find your response odd, though.  As of right now, Grothe is 2,911 yards behind last year’s total.  Not sure why you haven’t reported that in screaming headlines. '

LOL!  I can see that headline!

Does JoeP post here?

My Trib subscription is about to expire and I will let it.  St. Pete Times will get my business going forward.

I dont mind if someone has something negative to bring out about athletics or the university, as long as it is truthful. It is this guys obvious attempts to find something negative to report on, or someway to show an aspect of the program as negative as possible that is repulsive.

BG95 - Make sure you call the Trib and tell them why.

Does this line of reasoning apply to Jim Leavitt? Or are you just being a contrarian for the hell of it?

You spoke to them?

As for the Tribune I have given up reading or buying that rag. Hell I wont even waste my time in his blog.
