I wonder if Warren Stephens' old, crusty arse will buy up the unsold tickets just to keep this disaster going.

Did anyone specify who is paying to update WMS to meet SEC minimum standards? Probably tax dollars. Government waste.

Should make Warren Stephens pay for that, too.

Hopefully that attendance benchmark includes the spring game.
