I think we can pretty reasonably assume where that is headed.

Imagine the optics on Thanksgiving night if the team is 6-5 and playing a team that nobody wants to watch. Imaguine if the weather is bad.Going to be a lot of HEB ticket giveaways this fall.
How much of Charlie Strong's fate will be tied to flagging ticket sales? I have to think that's a contributing factor on some level. If the team sputters to another .500 season and season ticket sales fall again in 2016, how much leeway is he going to have? I think this team has to have a 10-win, "We're back!" kind of season in 2015 or 2016 and show strengthening in the season ticket sales for Strong to earn a 2017 season at the helm.
9-3 and 2nd place in the Big 12 good enough?Next year is a lost cause. But I agree that 2016 better be good.
Ketch:
It isn't just the mediocre results on the field...the watered down Big 12 doesn't result in any monster games at DKR and the ticket prices and donation levels are overpriced.
Is there any indication from Bellmont that they realize that THEIR bad decisions are having a direct impact on poor season ticket sales? Is there any acknowledgement that perhaps they should be focusing on fixing those problems?

Devonaire please qualify
They are hopeful, but not ultra-optimistic.
But he didn't anything about Momma or trains or prison or getting drunk - so it can't be classic country.
Just tack on another verse.
Perhaps, but then there's the reality that nothing else was done to address the position.My impression was that they took him on a flyer, because of the desperate need at the position and to feed into the excitement of Strong making inroads into Florida. I doubt the staff ever considered it likely he would qualify. Maybe in a year or two, a kid like that doesn't even get an offer.
totally agree. Not as famous as some of his other songs, but that's classic country.It doesn't get any more classic country than this:
"You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
With four hungry children
And a crop in the field
I've had some bad times
Lived through some sad times
But this time your hurtin' won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille"
what I was thinking. no way you can omit that and have a KR list taken seriously.Kenny Rogers and no "Coward of the County?" What the f*ck? That's his greatest song.
Are we taking these lists seriously?what I was thinking. no way you can omit that and have a KR list taken seriously.
I won't be paying to watch the fight. I'll likely watch it in some capasity.I get the sense you won't be watching the fight on Saturday night, Ketch? Or am I reading too much into your comments?
I'm sorry, no RUBY? No just dropped in, no Rubben James? I know two of those were when he was with The First Edition,but it was Kenny Rogers &The First Edition!
1) The 2014 Texas Football team was one of the worst Longhorn teams I have ever seen. What was Patterson thinking in raising ticket prices? That's what happens when hubris overtakes common sense... your season ticket sales plummet. Is anyone really surprised? The Athletic Department is so consumed with ticket resales that they have outpriced the market...
1a) That being said, I'm all in on the Charlie Strong rebuild program. The payoff starts in Year 3 IMHO.
2) Ketch, Don't complain about Liverpool when every soccer fan on this board let you know about the mistake in your team choice. Your Liverpool choice seems a lot like UT on the fence of whether or not to stay with Mack or let him go a few seasons ago...
I don't think anyone is quite ready to go there yet.How do the YTD numbers in season tickets compare to any of the previous years? If they are lower by a large margin, then how do they expect to close the deal on another 20K tickets to show improvement?
Any comparison at any other schools when it comes to "new coach bump?" In other words, what have other schools been able to do when they change coaches?
So let's say the numbers are catastrophic, what is the move? Fire Patterson? Charlie hot seat earlier? What is the realistic move here?
9-3 and 2nd place in the Big 12 good enough?
What if it's on at my house, you stopping by to watch? All I'll ask is a return invite to your next UFC deal.I won't be paying to watch the fight. I'll likely watch it in some capasity.
I'm going to be in H-Town or I might just be down.What if it's on at my house, you stopping by to watch? All I'll ask is a return invite to your next UFC deal.
