You have many posts in other threads that have revealed your attitude towards CPR and also your attitude concerning DMAC.
So are you cheering for the Cyclones or do you secretly wish for failure?

You must read with very, very special glasses.
Apparently, I wish openly for failure, which is news to me. Thanks for shining that light.
Your posts and clonedude's posts in other threads certainly were not positive or supportive. Rather, they were negative, with a not so favorable view of CPR.

If you really read them, I have a negative view of losing along with plenty of appreciation for the good things CPR has done here.
Fair enough. CPR has done a lot of good things, with some very big wins. Looking forward to more.
Sooooooo, pretty neat that we sold over 40,000 season tickets for a third straight year. Plus the SEZ is getting done. Oh, and we have one of the best staffs in a LONG time, dare I say the best from top to bottom.
I wouldn't read too much into a loss of a few thousand season tickets at this point. ISU sold a few more as the season progressed last year as I recall. Someone mentioned they thought that recent grads with new jobs should have made up for any losses due to disappointment with last season. Really all you should count on new jobs covering would be those aging fans who have to give up their tickets due to changing circumstances. Not everyone who ends up giving up their tickets does so because of the previous season's performance.
Strong ticket sales is once again good news!

JP said in the interview with Murph and Andy that we are still seeing strong residual season ticket sales due from his decision to only sell season tickets that year we played Iowa. Remember all the negative press he took for that decision but we sold an extra 8k season tickets that year and have not fallen back since.

I still think that was a great call. At the time, that game was the biggest leverage we had. Clearly, it didn't really bother people that much, and it got tickets sold. Still a great move.
It was a great idea. You saw a ton of Cyclone fans only buy tickets for that game and nothing else. Along with Hawkeye fans. This encourages them to attend the rest of the games also, and the Hawk fans to sell the rest of them.
Made sense to do it back then and still makes sense today.
