You completely ruin this for a lot of great UL fans!
Did anyone actually read what he said. Everything he said is true. Attendance absolutely effects recruiting and if our fans stop attending it can effect who we end up with. That’s what Vince’s point was. Heck half us said that on here.
And to the nit wit OP Vince has already stated money wouldn’t be an issue if the move is needed. Vince regardless of what some say is UofL thru and thru. There is no doubt about that.
Right! LOL! What's Tyra supposed to say? "HEY CARDS FANS, IF YOU WANT ME TO FARRR THAT SONOFABITCH, DON'T COME TO GAMES! THAT'LL LERN 'EM! WE DON'T NEED THAT TICKET REVENUE ANY DAMN WAY."
I mean no disrespect to the University of Louisville fan base because what you have built is commendable. Some of the decisions by people in charge have been questionable at best. We have no money but we expand the stadium...The city needs the arena to make money to pay off the debt but the university agrees to a contract where they can't make money... Academics get put on probation...I'm not going trough the rest of it. We as a sate need UL to be strong to help this state move forward. Quit punching yourself in the face. I don't mean this as a jab at UL but to point out some of the hypocrisy has gone for the last few years. I will be interested in your comments.If you don’t think it matters then you’re very naive. Players more than once have said that atmosphere matters. One of our players just sent out a text last Saturday complaining about the lack of attendance. If it doesn’t matter why would he complain. Also CCS and JLS both mentioned it. I guess they were just making it up.
So if it doesn’t matter why do we even bother having a stadium? Just ridiculous.
The point was to keep our fans engaged so we don’t lose out on recruits. Nothing more nothing less. Not a TJ issue or Vince issue. It’s a fan issue and always has been here.
We are building a dedicated fan base it’s somewhere around 35,000 to 40,000 fans that show up no matter the conditions and win loss record. Beyond that we have a bunch of fair weather fans and party fans. That’s the way it is for now. But growing a fan base takes time.
Anytime someone starts out I mean no disrespect well that’s what they mean is no respect. I normally don’t respond to knucklehead SuCk fans because I’ve never understood why their so interested in other fan bases. Why do they show up at UofL events wearing SuCk gear when we’re not playing you. Something just not normal.
So first let’s get the truth out.
1) The YUM center. UofL didn’t want to build the our our arena downtown. Ramsey, TJ, and the others wanted an on campus arena. But a number of SuCk graduates led by Jim Host pushed for a downtown arena. They got what they wanted, but Jurich was smarter and did a better job of negotiating the contract in favor of UofL because that was his job. So he and the administration did nothing wrong. If you have heart burn with that then blame host and the politicians. And the reason Host pushed, well read Crawford’s article about why Jurich was really fired, it had to do with bringing the NBA to town, which is why Host and all of his SuCk buddies wanted the YUM Center. They knew the only way to get the YUM Center was to use UofL.
I say both, I don’t think it matters. That’s just message board nonsense.Cause SuCkS fans say UL while Cards fans say UofL.
Yeah UL 86 as a moniker makes sense, but when one mentions our team its UofL.
Capiche, or do you need a more thorough explanation..............
I agree that he did call out the fans and that’s disappointing. It’s a fan’s right to say “the product sucks” any way they wish to. He needs to get over it. He backtracked some on his comments, but too little too late.Not sure who the OP is, but Tyra totally called out the fans. It was a complete calling out. You can't call out a fan base more.
