Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

I had a lot different experience than you all at the ‘16 Hail Mary game. Don’t even remember any UGA fans speaking to us after the game, let alone wanting to fight. They were just in a quite daze.

 

[Skizer41]

They need to charge middle of the road ticket prices. A middle of the road SEC Tennessee can't sustain a 102,000 seat stadium.

I'm not arguing this point haha. But what do other teams charge. I've been thinking about going to the Auburn game and every ticket there is $130 face value. Lower and upper bowl.

I was told "you are going to die today"

Crazy as hell day. I was midfield lower level amongst big donors. They were pissed someone sold me tickets lol

I doubt Vandy charges what we do or Auburn or GA. My point is if our desire is to be a Vandy, KY type of program, you better drop ticket prices.

 

[mrMet]

We will be there, too.

It’ll be our first time there. Do ya know what spots to hit up?

Its simple math.

You choose selling 90,000 tickets for 100 each for 9mil or 105k tickets for 75 each for a total of 7.875mil

That really is the story

I get it. Just kind of wondered how others stacked up. Never been to a road game before.

I remember watching this video during JG's recruitment. Watch him run at 1:55 and 3:14... I thought he would be a legitimate dual threat but something didn't translate from HS to college.

Yeah I get math. Not really sure what you're saying here.

I'm with @InVOLuntary here. The product still has to match the amount you're charging.

The product doesn't have to Match what your doing. The only thing that matters from a $ standpoint is meeting the budget

That's all I am saying

I think jg still has a chance to be good here. He still has 2 years of eligibility. If he doesnt lose his starting position this year i think he stays here and does good next year through a full cycle of this coaching staff.

Kinda wish we could be a Kentucky type of program rn tbh.

Throwing darts out there.

That 3:14 run clearly shows poor competition. Overpursued and fell down, lol

 

[nicksjuzunk]

One thing that always brings me joy... watching CP84 plant that foot and cut back at full speed.

Every time.

 

[AngryButchJones]

Yeah, some of that was on his competition for sure. But man, what happened to that speed? When he's run at UT, he hasn't looked anywhere close to that quick. I know guys will look faster in HS than in college, but he truly looks like he's lost a whole second or more off his 40 time here compared to high school.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Every time.

could be wrong but, i feel like we had more team speed with Dooley. Pruitt WILL do it if people will be patient.

 

[InVOLuntary]

$100+ are the norm for the bigger programs.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I think jg still has a chance to be good here. He still has 2 years of eligibility. If he doesnt lose his starting position this year i think he stays here and does good next year through a full cycle of this coaching staff.

again, could be wrong. unless they go get a Peyton v2 it would still take a full year for them to acclimate. So, yeah. It's JG.

Wish he could run like LSU's qb. That guy is good.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Earl Thomas doesn't know how the Gaulden's work.

You're supposed to look at your crew and give them the thumbs up as you are carted off.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Yeah, some of that was on his competition for sure. But man, what happened to that speed? When he's run at UT, he hasn't looked anywhere close to that quick. I know guys will look faster in HS than in college, but he truly looks like he's lost a whole second or more off his 40 time here compared to high school.

Yeah, that's something else for sure. I'm not convinced this is played at standard speed. Perspective can be off due to his competition being really slow, but he looks really fast and against ANY team we play against... FCS or UGA, he looks average.

Not sure if JG has more career rushing yards than any of our "statue" QB's over the last decade.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Watching his high school tape, he was routinely dusting dudes. Never seem such a disparity between high school speed and college speed. Not without some sort of major injury.

To be fair, it was NJ high school football. Not really big time.

 

[BigOrange15]

To be fair, it was NJ high school football. Not really big time.

Like I said, NJ high school football isn't THAT bad. The discrepancy is still strange.

$125/ticket for lower level yesterday

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

It’s terrible minus a few programs.

 

[mrMet]

$125/ticket for lower level yesterday

I paid 80/ticket for upper level row 12. I was pretty satisfied with it
