Thanks Minnesota!!

Price isn’t the deciding factor. Winning is probably the deciding factor but I’m not sure that’s enough anymore. Basketball isn’t as interesting to people in these times, and there are 20 games!

Just an FYI though for anyone attempting this maneuver, it doesn’t happen often, probably only happened to me a handful of times that I can recall, but if the radio is ahead of the TV you are screwed. That is the kiss of death because there is no way that I found to pause the radio (I didn’t try purchasing a radio app like iHeart). I didn’t…[Read more]

I don’t know. The Utes don’t come anywhere close to completely filling the Lower Bowl for any games I’ve been to recently with the exception of the games versus BYU. That’s why, at every game, during the first media timeout, they tell fans to come get closer to the action and fill empty seats.

Well how much for the upper bowl, then? Your season tickets are $7.5 per ($150/20=$7.5) I just proposed $5 and kids under 12 get in free until the upper bowl starts filling up.

Winning. Which means imo, a new coach with better recruiting abilities, increased NIL support etc. That’s the only way it will turn around.

They were trailing in the the Utah game until Rose got hurt. I believe if Rose continued to play and was healthy, BYU coulda lost by two TDs or more. They lost to Kansas and barely beat OSU. They are a good team, but their record doesn’t reflect their play on the field. I expect the Big12 to me more competitive next year then it was this past…[Read more]

“Trevin knell, a 78% FT shooter” briiiiccckkk.

I remember back in the first years of the trey that as a tam the Lakers had something like ten 3pt attempts in the entire season.

Many teams average that per quarter now.

Probably the easiest fix is to move the 3 PT line a few feet back, say to 25 or 26 feet and, as you say, eliminate it completely from the corners. To me, Silver is essentially a caretaker…an NBA lifer who goes along with the flow to maintain his privileged job (he makes well over $10M a year). Whatever the case, the NBA has to do something…[Read more]

hey Utah – I feel exactly the same. Alienated from the team. Only cheering for the laundry at this point. Its all so so stupid.

Even for paying the players (which I’m in favor of in some fashion) this is about the dumbest way you could possibly do it.

Freeing up money for skiing, plays at Eccles Theater, other stuff. But I’m lurking on a…[Read more]

I think Silver is just too weak of a commissioner to make the radical changes the game needs to bring fans back. I know there have been suggestions like do away with the corner 3, only allow 15 3 point makes to count as 3’s, and of course a radical one which is make dunks worth 3 points. Until they solve the 3 point shot issue and let the…[Read more]

Tony, season tickets are pretty cheap regardless….mine are $150 per ticket in the Lower Bowl. And that’s for 20 home games. How much lower can ticket prices go?

Dang, I think I just hit on an idea, the more games you attend, you get preference points that allow you to buy better seats for less money, or opportunities for upgrades maybe… I’m not sure how exactly that might work, but reward folks for being there seems like a good idea.

Maybe Season Ticket Holders could get some sort of tiered discount…[Read more]

If you’ve ever been bumped up to first class, undoubtedly you were sitting among some folks that paid for that privilege. Strangely, everyone still seems happy 😛

There’s no Koolaid strong enough to get me to drink it after the last two seasons. I’m glad we’re not ranked to start out the season.

Prediction accuracy in college football is a fool’s errand right now. With the huge turnover in rosters, how can you even begin to know how good teams will be? I guess these polls are something to talk about in the off season, but they’re about as worthless as the paper they’re written on.

I’ve wondered why they don’t fire sale those seats…. I suspect it might be a slap in the face of season ticket / CC members who pay more than face value for their seats. For $5 I might be inclined to go to a game or two per season. But there are a lot of games. It’s a lot of logistics for me schedule-wise, people wise (elderly father, 12 year…[Read more]

I’m proposing it. There is no current deal like that I’m aware of. But until the upper bow is packed, might as well offer it.

All I do is just start the radio feed, then you’ll quickly see that the TV is about 15-30sec ahead (typically although it can be as much as almost a minute). So you watch the play, and un-pause it as Bill’s play by play or the sounds matches the game.

Depending on the venue, sometimes you can hear the ball hit the rim on a FT, or usually you…[Read more]
