Title: Re: Still top 10 Post by: BanditVol on December 20, 2012, 03:02:26 EST Interesting that Texas is tops in spite of being rather lousy this year.
Since everyone says the Cowboys are also soaking in the dough, I guess that's just how they roll in Texas. Lots of money and mediocre football. :biggrin: Title: Re: Still top 10 Post by: Black Diamond Vol on December 20, 2012, 03:07:51 EST Interesting that Texas is tops in spite of being rather lousy this year.

Let them suffer through a decade or more of mediocrity and see what happens. I'm actually shocked that we're still that high. That must be using last year's numbers (which weren't great, but much better than this year). Title: Re: Still top 10 Post by: Quasi EVol on December 20, 2012, 05:06:35 EST SEC is 70% in the top 10?
Title: Re: Still top 10 Post by: BanditVol on December 20, 2012, 05:10:56 EST I'm actually shocked that we're still that high. That must be using last year's numbers (which weren't great, but much better than this year). It is based on last year. What numbers are you refering to? Attendence? Of course, empty seats don't mean no sales, just means people not showing up. I expect this year's numbers to be up. Why? Because "monies were made available" by prominent alumni to pay off Dooley and pave the way for Gruden. How do I know this? I read it on Volnation. So it must be true. Therefore, expect a large jump in revenue from these prominent alumni who donated large sums. It must be true, because "everyone" said it was. :laugh: Seriously though....I don't expect a huge difference. |
