Point is, you're just someone who wants to feel superior to others without even taking into consideration the various factors that impact attendance. (p.s., you pathetic $20 ticket example is more proof of that. Cause, you know, there are so many single alumni who live within walking distance of the stadium and therefore would only spend $20 to attend a game) It's not like it was hard to come up with examples of why you were wrong, and you still are. But you just want to feel smug and superior, so have at it, it's not hard to be a dick, especially on the internet.

Depends. Can we put people on the roof?
Hell yeah, I've got rope to tie everyone down in place, you know, for "safety".

Call it a dick measuring contest by some of us all you want. If you live in Tucson, are a Cats fan or grad, and you're not dirt ass poor......and you don't go to games......then yeah, you are a bad fan. Sorry. Why is it sacrilege to call some of you bad fans? If you are.....you are. Doesn't make you a bad person, you're just a bad fan.
So, I'm wondering, how do you define "dirt ass poor"? Have you ever looked at what the average income is in this town? Hint, it's low. real low. But let's throw that discussion out of the window since you're obviously one who has money and doesn't give a shit about how other people prioritize their spending....
What about people with health issues? Guess they're bad fans. People with kids who have functions at the same time? Bad fans.
I think the real bad fan are fans like you. Guess what type of attitude DOESN'T ENCOURAGE the less hardcore fans to show up? yeah, that's right, yours. Hell, you should pony up the money for some commercials on behalf of the AD, "IF YOU DON'T COME TO THE GAME YOU'RE A BAD FAN, ASSHOLE!" See how much the AD appreciates your fanaticism.

Cool, you concede the points. good to know.

Go ahead and just play pocket pool at your house during every home game, unless we're ranked in the Top 4 and are 3 games in front in the Pac South. Sorry that the thought of going to watch your team play an important conference football game in 75 degree sunshiny weather on a Saturday afternoon....is such a chore.
More evidence that you don't get it. P.s., you do realize that attendance across the country (save a few places) is down, right? Nah, just a bad fan in Tucson thing.

So to be a 'good' fan I must attend every home game from now to eternity?
I'm a huge fan of Ozzy / Sabbath. Am I bad fan if I do not catch the gig every time they pass through the state? I'll be enjoying the UW game from the comfort of my couch, with plentiful beer, no crowds, no lines for food or restrooms...heaven. Don't feel a bit bad about missing UW. UA got $250 for me and a buddy to go see the ASU game...
What is your metric for a 'good fan'? Go to every home game? Go to 4? 3? Buy merch every year? Follow the games on TV? Seriously.
You'd do well to not push away the less fanatical amongst the fanbase. If you ever want to see consistent sell outs you need us. Otherwise shrink the stadium to 35k and only let in those that pass the 'fan test'.
Just saw UAdevil making a point I made, before my post. Exactly.

My guess would be that the 4-6pm time slot is best suited to Tucsonans for whatever reason. Unfortunately we do not hav the luxury of telling TV when we want to play.
I know RR took great exception to last years Wazzu game when it was such a nice day and no one showed. Seems the core fan base is around 45-48K and for family weekend and homecoming we get 50K and then when we have a big name opponent or we are in contention or its ASSU we sell out. Here is hoping that we have a really big walk up traffic on game day
Other things to do? families? whaaaaat?
Naw, just a bunch of bad, horrible fans.

UADevil and POM...We'll give you guys a grade(measure your dick per se)..let's say a C for average for not going to the game..that and the way you throw in the towel so fast when the Cats are down...cop to it..you do! Oh, and Ozzy thinks you should be at every show in the State, he is the Prince of Darkness for Christ sakes. You don't have to agree or like it. HACats is spot on. BTW..I will give myself a B. I am above average but not Excelling. I've been to all the home games but did leave the Cal game 4 min early to get back to Phoenix w/o falling asleep in the I10 (i've come very close a few times!) and missed the comeback and Hill Mary. I have paid my penance for that. Oh, I only tailgate sporatically. Sorry guys, I let you down!! Relax guys, we fans are just getting pumped for a huge game. This game is really important for the argument that we are showing progress. If we lose this, what chances do you think we have away against Utah, or at home against the scum devils. UDub should be a sellout. Tucson should fill the stadium for this one. It is an opinion, take it for what it is worth.
First off, I wouldn't have so many posts in game threads if I gave up. I'd be one of those people who say "screw this, I'm done" and don't post again cause they turned off the game. But let's not evidence get in the way of ...whatever it is you're trying to prove. P.s., you have zero fucking clue why I no longer go to games, and cost is less than half the reason. (I don't even get to go to softball games any more, which used to be a huge passion for me, but hey, you're too busy jacking off to the idea that you're the greatest fan int he world to look at the fact that life and reality aren't what you want them to be in fantasy land).
I'd give you a fan grade of D for your piss poor attitude towards other fans. But I guess we grade differently.

I mean people in Tucson and Arizona just aren't all that "get up" about Az football, gonna take consistent winning and less let downs to change that. Don't know why that's so hard for you all to get. People have priorities and to some Az football ain't it. Not everyone is going to be super fanatic like most of us.
Us people on message boards aren't fanatics. Or at least those of us who aren't able to attend. Haven't you been paying attention
