Wallace gets the start Sat.

[JR4AU]

Too little, too late from this staff.

Chiz trying to destroy one more kid's career before he gets out the door

[JR4AU]

So if Frazier had a grasp on let's say 50% of the offense, it's safe to presume Moseley had maybe 30%. What's Wallace got? 10%? maybe 15%

I feel for the dude. Getting thrown to the wolves...err Aggies.

Don't think it's grasping the offense that's the issue.  It's total inability to act like a fucking QB, make reads, and make throws, watching the rush, and going all fetal is the problem.  And not getting protection.  Maybe much coaching from this staff hasn't rubbed off on Wallace yet, and he'll actually play.

[dallaswareagle]

I don’t know that he is not doing that to put a few more butts in the stands this weekend and next. Let’s say he comes out has a good game and we (what is that word I am looking for? I forget) but we put more points on the board than they do. A certain amount of folks get excited and come to the UGA game to watch. The young lad then gets fed to the lions.

Not that he cares but I would have more repect for chizdouce if he just came out and said we are trying anything new we can come up with.

[AUChizad]

Every time I think there's no way we lose (MSU, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Vandy) we sink to a new low.

Even last week, when I knew for sure we'd lose, we still failed to reach my expectations and sank to yet another low.

I'd like to say that I'd be shocked if we don't cover the 23 points spread against New Mexico State, but I dunno.

Their margin of defeat is just about as ugly as ours, except against much worse competition. May end up being...

THE UGLIEST GAME IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE

I am surprized we are not getting more.

[Snaggletiger]

Only move you can make.  They apparently have lost all confidence in Frayzha, and Moseley is the no-talent cowardly lion.  Wallace has obviously improved his passing and I'd like to think that going against NMSU's defense will be similar to the 2's and 3's of A&M he was going against Saturday.  Get him some reps and confidence in a no pressure situation.  Bottom line, it's either this or face two absolute slaughters staying with the status quo of Frayzeley.  The line may pick it up a notch with some success and actually try to protect the guy a little.

Vegas has us as 23 point favorites? Have they been watching the last two games, the players want the season to end with four games remaining.

Put Tommy Thigpen in charge and dogear this abomination just like Terry Bowden's last season.
There is no point in allowing Chizik to finish. Keeping him around does the program no good whatsoever.
This gives the rats time to jump ship as well.
People that genuinely care about the program need to get out front and start acting like it.

This. Why not take a few more lumps and make the university another 3 Mill?

They are going to lose that much is lost revenue this weekend. I figure only 55,000 this weekend at let’s just average each ticket at $85.00 each. That comes out almost 3m right there (ticket sales alone) add in lost concessions, etc.  Can we really afford to keep him around? 

My speculation is that had they fired him after the A&M game, promoted (Whomever) and then got on the ‘We need your support” for this weekend to show you care for the team (Blah-Blah). They would have more folks in the stand. Now because they are staying the course X amount of folks are going to stay away just because of how pissed they are.

This is just my two cents.

The tickets are already sold as far as the university is concerned. University has their money from that.  Now if you want to talk lost concessions or hotel revenue that's something different.

Right. And the lack of attendance is not as quantifiable as a $3 mil hit.

Some are talking real dollars and others opportunity costs. Right now, the real dollars are what needs to be saved.

But if they got rid of JJ and CGC tomorrow, I would not bitch about it. 

[bottomfeeder]

Where did you guys get your business degrees? Hotels = tax revenue (City of Auburn), concessions = deduct costs in labor, electricity and raw material. Everything has costs before the bottom line is considered, so your numbers are not conservative. Ticket sales yes, but there are costs for the stadium to open before, during and after the game. Add to that maintenance costs, labor, security, etc. It would probably take at least three home games to make up that $3 million you speak of. The the school has to pay the opposing team $400,000+.

Word on the streets is the buyout goes down on a prorated basis at ~$200k/month.  The $2.5M number is the difference between December 2011 and December 2012, but the difference between Nov 1st and Dec 1st is only about $200k
