2015 how to sell hope

This. There is absolutely no hope to sell. You know what you are getting next season.
Here's how you sell tickets for next season:
"Come and See the Team getting hammered by College Football Playoff Contenders"
"Come to the Stadium - Misery Loves Company"
On a serious note: beat UNI and the Hawks. That will be a good start. Lose to UNI: JP better find a way to pay for CPR's buyout.

I don't know if there is enough pot in the world to make this football program watchable, but I'm willing to try.
Hey JP - SELL BEER ALREADY
I agree that raising ticket prices is stupid, but to call them "already high" is wrong. High for the product on the field? Maybe, but ISU has some of the most affordable ticket prices for both football and men's basketball. With tickets as low as 175 for a reserved seat and 99 dollars for a hillside I don't think we can really complain about "high" ticket prices. There is a reason our attendance has been so high with such a poor product.
In politics, you sell hope by lying. A LOT. And hoping when the truth comes out it's too late. Kind of like after a coach signs a long term contract.
I have no hope for next season. Especially if there are no staff changes.
Some thinking-outside-the-box ideas:
1. Louder tornado sirens that go off right when opposing QB gets into throwing motion.
2. Big12 ref appreciation night when everyone in attendance gets a ref shirt and free whistles.
3. Commit to have CPR available for one of these right after each game:

JP will need to focus on everything BUT the football. Because it will guaranteed be awful again.
Try to sell the gameday experience, the new SEZ, stadium improvements, etc.
Maybe (serious suggestion) do basketball ticket giveaways to encourage attendance?

2015 slogan:
"Down with Hope, Up with Dope"
hand out free doobies to the first 55000 fans in to JTS I bet that ***** is packed every game.

There is no hope.
Who the hell is going to play defense on this team? Look around, we barely have enough linebackers to field a team.
How is the offense going to be any better? Could be worse.
Anyone with a brain, much like this year knows what they are getting next year. Just way to many recruiting misses.

The Iowa State season ticket holder goes out at halftime and barely makes it back into the game before the 4th quarter when ISU is playing K-State and is winning the game at that point. For ISU fans it is all about the tailgating and the party. Always has been.
Next year the schedule is very favorable. Warm weather games. Both UNI and Iowa at home in a newly expanded Jack Trice Stadium. First 2 games are guaranteed sellouts against UNI and Iowa. And the 3rd home game is a sellout as well against Kansas. After that we have TCU at home on Oct. 17 and the Homecoming game with Texas on Oct. 31. Last home game is Nov. 14 against Oklahoma State. Students won't be on Thanksgiving break. We will have decent attendance.
