Need to watch a little film to identify areas we can improve on in the stands?

Mainly to watch how Fine did. my entire group left in the start of the 4th quarter. Pissed me off. 

There's a reason I typically go to games by myself

Can you really blame them for wanting to leave?  I left probably about 3 minutes before your group did.  If I knew that Fine was going to play I would have stayed.  You are lucky to have a group a people with you to stick around till the 4th quarter.  I could rarely get people to accept a free ticket in a prime section to come to a game with me in the first place.  Which is why I gave my season tickets up.

I'll step up there and blame them.  When the game gets out of hand, I always stick around and continue to look for and enjoy exciting plays, explosive plays and other entertaining elements of the game.  You never know what you'll miss if you leave.  If the only reason people watch is to see who's going to win and then leave once the outcome is eminent, you'll save a lot of time and money if you just read about it in the paper.  You paid for a ticket to the entire game.  You paid to see Fine play, but you threw away part of the value of the ticket.  Of course, I kind of wish I didn't follow this philosophy when eating at restaurants.  <pats on stomach>

@MGNation92, assuming you can't finds stream of the game, you can at least listen to the call at http://www.kntu.com/2016/09/03/smu-nt/ .

While I understand your logic I don't agree.  I would rather that extra hour+ at home watching competitive P5 games or spend time with my family.  Seeing Fine would have been nice but I not that upset that I missed him.  Even if the game was closer at that point, the outcome was never in doubt for me after the middle of the 2nd quarter.  The only questions were how hard they would play throughout and which backups would get a shot in garbage time (if the lead swelled beyond 14 points).  I gave up dreams of coaching more than a decade ago.  Figured out I don't love the sport that much.  If we were getting demolished by a Houston, Memphis, Texas Tech, Kansas State, or any other lower level P5 team I would have stayed because each play in garbage would tell us more about this team from an athletic talent standpoint than garbage time against lowly SMU backups.

I always stay to the end (sometimes bitter) just because I have seen some crazy shit happen in my football-watching lifetime. It ain't over til its over. Also, I like the Alma Mater and "You'll Never Walk Alone".

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I'm not for paying any player until binding contracts happen which ensures they stay a set amount of time (including Bowls) unless contractually agreed to terminate. A paid education should also be considered a part of the "salary"!

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      Most of y'all know more about the details of NIL since I really haven't been interested in looking into it, but I've got to wonder how much longer this NIL sham is going to go on before it becomes payment. Has it officially been changed/recognized by the NCAA that it is no longer based on actual usage of N.I.L.? It was obvious from the get-go that NIL was simply a stepping stone toward direct player payment (above the table) but I don't know if the NCAA has finally changed the rules to make it that way. I may be missing some areas, but the only two places that I see where NIL is used "en masse" is in the video games and TV broadcasts. Otherwise, the only other way I see their true N.I.L. revenue being earned is for a player to directly sell their "usage", i.e. advertisements, t-shirts, autographs, photos, etc. So, I found the following regarding EA and TV. Apparently, this accounts for essentially NONE of the NIL payment to players. A mere $600 from EA and NOTHING from TV. So, then we have the collectives, which have essentially created an opaqueness to the traceability, allowing funds to be built up and then distributed without any basis of NIL usage. If you start forcing fans to pay into this collective w/o any form of ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, etc., I suspect there will soon be lawsuits from the fans demanding to know that the collected money is being spent on the player wearing their team's jersey this year (or in this specific game when hit with a concession fee). I think the collectives are also going to face some challenges when the money starts spanning seasons and the portal has players moving on after a year, i.e. you're paying into a collective for player X, but now he's moved on to another team. Kinda' like coaches contracts, is money still being paid to a player in delayed form after he's moved? Again, w/o any accounting/auditing, they may be in for some trouble. Similarly, what about when a player that's collecting (forced) NIL decides to not play in the post season? I suppose it could be argued that he is past the "season ticket" purchase, but there is always more charges to the season ticket package purchase than just the individual games, so it could be argued that your "season" purchase literally means for the entire season. As usual, the big winners are going to be lawyers, both in lawsuits and in writing the 5000 page Terms Of Service 3pt font that's going to accompany every ticket. It'll be interesting to see how they squeeze all of that text onto the bottom of the Hot Dog and Coke menu board at the concession stand.

      Did you make the trip? The environment of 100K opposing fans (when you're used to 10K home fans) had to have rattled them.
