There are two different ways and we have never had to move seats. One is to look at a ticket site such as stubhub or something similar. If tickets are still available then they more than likely haven’t/wont sale so we sit in those seats. The second is to sit with the students. We prefer the curve near the end zone under the overhang. The students typically jam in around the fifty yard line and leave plenty of room. They also leave really early even at big games.

While he struggled at times, he moved the ball fine.

He finished 7th (out of 16) in the SEC in QBR out of all games and 6th in the league in conference-only games. He was just a tad above average.

I'm hoping too that we can just find an average qb. Defense and rushing can carry us.

He really didn’t though. We had three games where we didn’t score in a half. And he had one of the best running backs in the nation carrying the load to help open up the passing game. Go watch some film breakdowns and see how much he missed. Our system truly helped him as he didn’t process well.

I think the continual ticket price increases and general nickel and diming by the AD is only going to put added pressure on the program. Fans are going to expect top end results for paying top dollar. This would be on the field and in recruiting. Top 5 classes are going to be expected and also competing for SEC and national championships. Right now, we are doing neither. I believe seasons like last year won’t be good enough moving forward the way it’s headed. JMO.

Won a championship in baseball, elite 8 in bball, made college playoff. Sounds like we’re doing pretty good at competing to me.

Just can’t be the case. Atleast that’s what people told me earlier when I said something very similar.

Fans can want/hope/expect whatever they want. It's irrelevant.

If fans are displeased with the results on the field, they won't buy the tickets. If they don't buy the tickets, UT can't sell the tickets. If UT can't sell the tickets, they will lower the prices to a point at which they can sell the tickets.

That's it. That's the whole thing. No butterfly effect analysis required. The ticket prices are what they are today because people will buy them. I promise you that won't be the case the second people stop buying them.

And again, to the question of "Why do they have to charge market value?". That question would just be turned around to "Why aren't we charging market value??" as soon as we lose out on recruits due to a perceived lack of money.
