I don't know of a team in the conference that has lost three in a row at home this year. We really play worse at home than on the road. Maybe they feel the "pressure" of playing in front of a full stadium so they press too much. But I find it very strange that we look a whole lot better on the road than we do at home...even at OSU. Kemp doesn't drop that pass before half and we would be in that one until the end and may even win it. It is a shame for all the people who drive a long way to watch these type of pathetic performances. But you know what...we are on the road next week and I bet we play a lot better than we did yesterday.

What really eats at me is in previous years coach Pinkel would challenge the fan base to fill the ZOU and be louder. In the last 3 games we have averaged around 70,000 paying more money than an NFL game for tickets and sat in monsoon conditions only to watch 3 horribly coached games. For Gary, we the fans have held up our part of the deal, but to come out yeaterday and give up 40 points, this team was not prepared. Gary told us years ago moral victories should not be accepted by the team or fans. It is now your move coach.

The TSF holds fans hostage with their points system wherein one of the componets is consecutive years of purchasing tickets.

I believe that component is complied with by puchasing one season ticket instead of the 4 I have been. Needless to say, I will be purchasing one next year instead of 4, I am tried of driving 200+ miles to watch the same incompetence.

2004 we had humiliating losses to KU and KSU, 5 years later the same thing, there are better investments for entertainment dollars.

I wish I had that option, but I've got many decades tied up with the Tigers. They're my team and no matter how pee'd off I was driving back yesterday I'll be back in 2 wks and I'll probably be freezing my A off again in Camarohead in 3 wks. As an optimist I see how much $ they saved me: no trip to Big D for the B12 Championship game & if they don't play better no trip to a bowl game.

Excellent post. I agree 100%. This Alden character better not raise ticket prices in the offseason and he better do away with this arrogant, "seat license" deal, or attendance will plummet. What an arrogant jerk for fans who have suffered for decades.
