If a Hazell coached team here at Purdue would have won 8 or 9 games this year after going 1-11 the first year at Purdue then schools like Col. State, Florida maybe even Neb.would be after our coach. Another bad dream!!

The thing that really bothers me lately about Burke is that in his speeches he continually puts the onus of how to fix the problems on external factors such as the fans. A common denominator of most of his speeches seem to be that everything can be fixed if we would just give more. And while that's true. That's just not the way the game works. We don't give more so that his job is easier. It's his job to do his $%^&ing job and make us better so we give more. It's really starting to bother me hwo the entire athletic department and even going back to the JPC and the Nancy Cross BS constantly treat the fans and people who are paying the bills with an almost smugness of... well sure you're giving but we are sucking right now because you aren't giving more. That's what I get from them. And it's maddening.
Even when he said they had the money and would break the bank to ensure that Hazell had all the resources, what was the next thing he did.... he broke out the reserves for 1/3 of what he said he had, and raised season ticket prices and instituted seat license to get the other 2/3rds. It's BS. And it's time for a change. He's just lost touch with how the game works. He's respected, and he has a wealth of knowledge but he's paralyzed in analysis over getting things done to get things done in a timely manner.
Good point, as I have done similar things this year.Originally posted by Dr_billy_badass:
Our group of 8 went to the Northwestern game. We looked online and almost pulled the trigger several time on tickets and eventually decided to wing it game day. Someone gave us 3 free tickets before the game. we bought 2 others for 5 a piece off random person who had extras after someone tried to sell us seats for 25 a piece. And we bought 3 more for 20 a piece so we ended up getting 8 for 40 dollars. I spent that much alone on concessions for me my wife and kid, so plus they already got paid for the tickets I bought so maybe there isn't any problem for them here since they are getting their money but it's just a really broken system right now. Did I mention we basically just went in and sat whereever we wanted? It was a lot of fun even in the rain and with people leaving at half.
Although I will say the bottomless $8 hot chocolate/coffee they may have lost money on me. I keep doing half and half at the suggestion of the concession person.
