This is pretty much exactly my feelings. Never really followed NFL much since. A brief stint following the Patriots during the bledsoe days while living in NJ. Even with the current success, just can't give up the hate for that #unt.Newportcat wrote:Chicat wrote:PieceOfMeat wrote:cats101 wrote:azcat49 wrote:That was a great read Merk.

Then that fucking bitch Georgia Fronterie (Who mind you got the team because she had her husband killed. A world class swimmer drowning in like 18 inches of water in Florida?) moved them to St. Louis. My dad has threatened to find her grave and piss on it for years.
My dad was an OB/GYN at Kaiser in the mid- to late-80s. Small world! I wonder if their time coincided.Newportcat wrote:Downey is not that bad at all. Actually much nicer then people realize.

Now that sounded bad.

The first two things that come to my mind is Utah is a good opponent and UCLA is part of a large TV market.scumdevils86 wrote:Why does ASU get back-to-back 1 p.m. and noon home games?
PAC12 network is carrying both games. Day PAC12 Network is the last pick of the TV selections most weeks (all but two all year I believe) so it is really a factor of asu and UCLA ducking on the field and in the tv ratingsazgreg wrote:The first two things that come to my mind is Utah is a good opponent and UCLA is part of a large TV market.scumdevils86 wrote:Why does ASU get back-to-back 1 p.m. and noon home games?

It may be sooner than you think... UA needs to win out and UTAH, USC need to lose once more in conference.Newportcat wrote:

I've actually heard that mentioned before, and read it somewhere too, but the UA seems uninterested in adjusting the volume on that.ALASKACAT wrote:It may be sooner than you think... UA needs to win out and UTAH, USC need to lose once more in conference.Newportcat wrote:

PS. To answer the topic question: My wife and I attended the USC and Cal game on back to back weekends. The south endzone sound system was WAY TOO LOUD!!!! That alone, in my opinion is reason enough why old folks like me would stay home. We bought ear plugs to watch the CAL game in order to preserve our hearing.
Did you tell any UA personnel about this? Just curious because I know the Cardinals and Diamondbacks will move you to another area if you ask for a reason like this.ALASKACAT wrote:It may be sooner than you think...

It was much louder right after the new scoreboard was installed, and they lowered the volume after complaints. Maybe they need more complaints to lower it again.PieceOfMeat wrote:I've actually heard that mentioned before, and read it somewhere too, but the UA seems uninterested in adjusting the volume on that.ALASKACAT wrote:It may be sooner than you think...

Surprises me that it is still so loud then. If they're not hearing the complaints they're not listening very hard. I've heard complaints about it this season.prh wrote:It was much louder right after the new scoreboard was installed, and they lowered the volume after complaints.

Other people have made note of this too and I have mentioned it repeatedly in my replies to the surveys they've been sending out. I think this big problem they have with getting the sound system volume adjusted well is that the speakers in the south end zone are pretty much it for the whole stadium. Sound quality wise, they're a huge improvement over the old system, and they don't blast noise into the surrounding neighborhood all night like the old system did. But they need to figure out a way to get other speakers placed around the stadium so they can turn the volume down. Where I usually sit in 201, the volume is perfect. When I venture further south, it's ear-splitting. I know season ticket holders in the SEZ who gave up their tickets and the sound system is a big reason why.ALASKACAT wrote:The south endzone sound system was WAY TOO LOUD!!!!

I can only imagine how loud it is if the majority of the sound is coming from the south endzone. I sit near the north endzone and it is perfect for me but I do know that you can hear the PA all the way at Park and Universityazpenguin wrote:Other people have made note of this too and I have mentioned it repeatedly in my replies to the surveys they've been sending out.

Feel the same. I think it's either coming with age or shifting priorities. I def still watch the game on TV if I have access, and will go to a select few. I also now live in Oro Valley, so it's somewhat a hassle to make every game.UAdevil wrote:I went to the 1st home game this year. Took my dad. Fun seeing some stadium improvements but for whatever reason some of the magic is just gone for me. Ended up giving my Tix to the remaining games to one of my staff. Just so much nicer to watch at home, not fight the horses, find parking, dedicate 4.5 hours or more...and pay for the privelege. I\'m starting to feel a bit this way about basketball too. I don\'t even think it has anything to do with how good or bad the team is. Just not motivated to go to these types of events I guess. I have no plans on getting fb tix next year and might only catch one game at McKale. I dunno...other shit just feels more important. *Bad fan...
One challenge for me is not only is it much easier to watch live games on TV, but also the summary clips on youtube are now so good too. I feel can skip watching a game and just watch the 3-10min highlight within minutes of the game being over and get all the good stuff without any of the bad/boring stuff. This is a big problem I think for sports as for me it makes it so much more efficient but the chances of me watching a game live go down and going to one even more so.UAdevil wrote:I went to the 1st home game this year.

Yeah I don't know why there aren't like concerts or beer festivals or anything else at the stadium. It's seemingly used like 8 days a year and that's it.UALoco wrote:That is a really good point...the vibe around the stadium just sucks.

So that was the Jay-Z concert, which had a lot of factors involved, but nonetheless turned into an absolutely disastrous flop.Merkin wrote:Some of us may even remember the Fleetwood Mac concert at Arizona Stadium.

Especially if Utah loses to Colorado. If both those happen, the Territorial cup will be for the division, even if ASU loses to Oregon.PieceOfMeat wrote:if we beat wsu ppl will pack the house vs assu.
