My friend who lives within earshot of the stadium crowd has not been back since tcu. Has not watched a game since USC.
And yet, the season ticket holders will not give up their seats.
You snooze, you lose your seats.
It would take an epic fail by the BOT, Jeff Long to create the drama the would be 30k in DWRRS like it is in tWarDump.
We as long time donors believes that Jeff will make the right call, if not then the BOT.
Donors will not, lose their seats, donation cause of Fat frick. We've been through Danny Ford and Jack Crowe.
We have our seats and those we will keep.
WPS!

there will be some to not renew and donate...
I may be one of them.. Look, it is simple economics and intellect to me.
I go to 3-4 games a year at the most, because of work and distance/costs.
I donate well, not BM, but well.
If the tickets to game I don't go to sell at less than 1/6 of my costs, because of the crappy product and coaching. I am out. And others I have spoken too are as well. FWiw

I know a guy who got season tickets for the first time ever this year. He has some serious buyers remorse. Probably won't renew them as long as fat boy is there.

Amen.
I don't donate or buy season tickets to watch/support Bielema or Jeff Long. I donate to support my Razorbacks. I worked hard and am very blessed to donate at the level I do.
I understand people making the tough decision to not renew. It's tough to give up that money when the return is as poor as it is. However, for me, I just can't. I will donate and buy tickets as long as I can financially afford and as long as I'm in good health.
I will say that I would probably donate more if they let me designate exactly where the money went. I would put all my money into facilities and student athlete support and give zero to Bielema/Long.

The season ticket holder "sky is falling" is Tardville BS.
This is true for the most part, but there are obvious differences in revenue between the up years and down as well as better games vs others. Most season ticket holders will renew just to keep their seats and because it's something they've already budgeted, but season seats aren't the only sales involved (ie regular seating, concessions, apparel both at the stadium and everywhere else, donations, etc).
I haven't had season tickets since I moved 12 hours away a couple years ago, still try to make 2-3 per season but it's definitely not a priority currently. I'll also attend away games occasionally if they're between FWB and Fayetteville.
The people like me that come from farther away or buy tickets on a per-game basis are the sales that'll suffer the most, but it's not like we'll EVER average 30k people in the stadium at kickoff like the aforementioned Tardville residents believe.

Any new rumors? I will basically be checking this thread daily.

Not really anything *new* per se, just more reinforcing of things already shared and more people bringing similar info. It's a stone cold fact that certain coaches are looking around, not just an unsubstantiated rumor anymore. I've heard Bielema is one of them but that part is still not 100% solid like a couple others, so just a very strong rumor.
You'll hear a lot leak out from some major sources if the game tomorrow should go sour. There's a whole slew of rumors and stories behind the flood gates just waiting on the media tide to turn against him. A lot will probably come out when/if he's fired but you'll see some hints and loose lips before then, as early as tomorrow night if we lose.
I hate it because it makes us look petty as a fan base, but really a lot of it is borderline propaganda put out by the UofA and BMDs themselves to sway public opinion and put pressure on JL. I just hope it doesn't get too ugly.

Geeze Louise.
Silly season starts early. If they lose, Long should just go ahead and buy out his contract and cut bait. Another post-Nutt debacle is the last thing we need.

What do mean "if we should lose." I'm betting on losing until BB proves me otherwise.

That buyout is just 5.4 million. Fat frick is good as gone
