Gary is 100% right. Got to show up. Pretty disappointed with our fanbase.
Kate Upton will always get a like from me. She a slim thicky though...she may be large later on I have a feeling.
If a blue blood comes calling after this season GP is gone and I won’t blame him at all!! It gets old year after year and I know I’d move on to a program that has dedicated fans that come early and stay late!!
My brain can not conceive a world in which you draw that card and don’t go all in.
Nick Saban has recently blasted their fans for not showing up, coming early, and staying late. I’d say Bama is pretty blue blood. It’s not just a TCU problem. No blue bloods are going to show up to watch their teams play SMU in Texas during the middle of the day in September. If GP wants to leave I would suggest finding better reasons than September fan attendance.

I have said attendance would be the reason for several years....,it’s been an issue with GP behind closed doors but him making it public is his last straw. If MI comes calling he gone!

GP is not wrong at all on this. Bowl selections consider who they think has a good crowd, and not just traveling crowd. There is a perception. Sticking you head in the sand does not change the reality of the impact that results.
Sure, now, in present day...
I wish our fan base was like ISU’s fan base when it comes to attendance. They pack it win or lose.
Pack the stadium and stay. Then let the coach and the team know if you are unhappy with their performance.
Because some bowls are better than others. Some bowls provide better logistics and pay. Some bowls offer a more attractive place for your fans. If you get hit with a perception of a "small" or soft fanbase, you get sent where nobody gives crap who shows.What does it matter when you either qualify for a bowl or not? Seems to me that CGP wants to pick his bowl destination anyway

And more highlighted bowls help with recruiting.
Our seats today aint great, but they have beer here.
